mario basanov – more for the less

Apersonal Music’s first release of 2013 sees Mario Basanov, fresh from his debut LP on Needwant, team up with Grand Corporation collaborator and exceptional vocalist, Jeremy Glenn, for ‘More For The Less’.

Lithuanian producer, Mario Basanov, had quite a 2012 with his LP on the brilliant Needwant turning many a head with its sleek, contemporary house and disco and airy, melodic sensibilities. Jeremy Glenn, a Toronto native, has most recently cropped up on Classic as a vocalist on Andy Meecham (Emperor Machine) and Stevie Kotey’s Grand Corporation project as well as remixing and producing for the likes of B-Pitch, Blackstrobe and Moda.

‘More For The Less’ is a feelgood, mid-tempo slice of disco infused deepness. Warm keys, almost-there melodies and lazy synth bass gently layer up as the track unfurls into Glenn’s soulful vocal performance. Basanov’s dub walks a line between mid-nineties, vocal cut up dubs and nu-disco drum work and the result is a fresh and punchy dancefloor interpretation.

Desolat’s Pablo Bolivar and Apersonal/Galaktika man Maurice Aymard team up for the first of the remixes. In a departure from their respective styles, they stay close to the feel of the original with a bumping yet laid back version that teases the original song into the mix with just the right amount of restraint.

Michael J Collins, having made a name for himself on My Favourite Robot and Wolf & Lamb, returns from a long production break with gusto in his remix. Incredibly detailed, achingly melodic and intricately rhythmic, Collins’ remix is fathoms deep boogie of the highest order. Basanov closes the EP with a Redub that takes the track into sunrise dancefloor bliss for tired legs, providing digital only element to the release that is genuinely essential.
