Sounding like something from House music’s golden era comes this stunning reworking of ‘Elem’ by Kiko Navarro. What’s so good about this is the way the ‘Retronic’ version hits the acid button hard and fast in places but then off-sets things with clever, funky percussion and subtle, glassy pads elsewhere providing the arrangement with a sense of colour and occasion. There’s a great use of sounds too from the classic drum sounds of the eighties to today’s contemporary electronica
