Label info: Once again, Tuning Spork Records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. Last summer, the label issued 'Free Your Mind', a Baleraric groove crafted by Jay Haze and Ricardo Villalobos. Now comes another non-sequitur: 'Comptine D’un Autre Été: L’après-midi', Mr. Tiersen’s piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by Jay. French composer Yann Tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. His piece (the title of which roughly means 'Nursery Rhyme Of Another Summer: The Afternoon') provides the basis for this melancholy track. DJs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. Tiersen’s original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. And it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesn’t fill up with ladies, then it probably means you’re DJing at a gay club. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!).
