Comment: an artist called Small Colin (Colin Sweeney is a part of the Scottish duo Small Radio but now he is dwelling in Sweden) and a label called Rec72 do represent a bunch of 5 tracks, one of them is the original track and the rest are remixes (his friends are in charge). In fact, such sort of release formula sets out a fine radar to review an issue. Indeed, there are different sort of remixes which can be compared to the original composition. In the recent case, the original track (originally coming out of the project`s album Tape Productions (2013, Rec72)) is a humble electronica/electronic pop track with a distinctive melody gear and some extended synthesised chords and acidic coated effects to be rotating around it. All these elements are represented in the remixes as well though the rhythmic metrics used to vary in those additional compositions, at times one can hear more decelerated, at times higher beat frequencies per minute. Adi Carter`s remix has been managed in a way to add the melody line more distinctly to the blend. It used to progress slowly yet efficiently. Sound 29`s remix is obviously the most catchy – a house tinged electro pop roundabout. Poly`s one is disparate due to employing sublime vowel harmonies being accompanied by the bouncy mid-tempo rhythm. Logec`s interpretation is based on a catchy electro-induced gear which owns the listener. In a word, the result is solid yet Tape Productions is a release which reveals the mastermind of Colin Sweeney.
