Having come off the back of some lauded remix work for Gerry Mitchell, Dave Cloud and Puerto Muerto, dubstep duo Various continue to hone their deft production skills by waving the magic wand over Georgia’s Horsepulsating ‘As It Stops Raining’.
Coming on as a brooding and sparse gothic lullaby, the gentle soul of the vocal is rushed by a twitchy snyth line and typically laconic drum skitter that slips and slides around pleasingly under the melody like two old dears pushed out onto a frozen pond in their slippers. A snake-hipped slice of dancefloor aceness, run into ‘As It Stops Raining’ after some Friday night refreshment and it is guaranteed to nail smiles to faces and have you dancing like God is fisting your adrenal gland. Those Various boys gone done it again.
