Two worlds collide in number nine from OPIA Records as they welcome on board
Orbital London maestro Jack Michael, and BODY MVMT ambassador, Robert James
for the ‘Salt & Shake’ EP. The UK pair join forces for two collaboration tracks,
receiving remixes from two of Uruguay’s finest, Michelle and Fede Lijtmaer.
Opener ‘Pleasure Beach’ is a dynamic dance floor assault, subtly organ led through a
storm of rough and ready sounds, a familiar energy from the OPIA label, pushing club
ready material in a discerning fashion. Providing her ‘Pepsi Max Mix’ is live performer,
and label affiliate Michelle. A slightly more progressive take on the original, ready to
make an impact.
With more snap than a Paul Hollywood shortbread is the B1 ‘Great British Break Off’.
A rollercoaster of intensity, intelligently arranged by the dynamite duo. Clean broken
drums complimenting the sub heavy bass. Delivering the final track of the EP is Fede
Lijtmaer remixing the B1. A classy outing from the South American, a spiralling trip
through beeps and bleeps.
