Snow Monkeys (A.mochi Remix) Hideo Kobayashi

Snow Monkeys incl. A. Mochi Remix Tight, mechanical and brutal with an underlying funk, “Snow Monkeys” is the sort of multi-faceted beast that Kobayashi is known for. The rough edges are allowerd full space to create tension but the track is tempered with some brilliant, shimmering and evocative melodies that slide into the mix for just the right amount of time before subsiding into the churning groove. One of the new school of Japanese techno producer, A. Mochi delivers a well pitched, moody version on the flip. Pacey yet measured in it’s progression it’s a version that takes the originals tension to new levels and won’t be a surprise for anyone who has heard his productions / remixes for the likes of Figure, Cocoon and A-Wave. Hideo Kobayashi is one of the few producers who can skip from deep or vocal house though to searing techno with ease and “Snow Monkeys” is a perfect example of what he can do when it comes ot the tougher sounds.
