1987 EP consists of two strikingly contrasting (Original and Dub) mixes by dbfb, accompanied by
three variations: Bosnyak's Miami mix, Iggy Dope's remix and Bellen's remix.
Direct and galloping, 1987 Original Mix kicks straight into the high gear accelerating heartbeat as it
does. Without any hesitation, rhythmic breaks cut through the vibrant melody developing an
underlying disco-like vibe making it difficult for the listener to resist dancing when your hips and
limbs spontaneously respond to the music.
Murky and much sneakier than the original, Dub mix comes with a true film noir touch. By slowly
building up suspense, we are led into a "stalking" theme carrying us through the dark alleys of our
mind. Relief from too much suspense is brought by a spring reverb (gloomy hero of the day) which
makes the whole thing more playful as if we've finally learned to make fun of looming mis(t)ery.
The next three mixes reveal further twists to the "story" conveying the artists' visions of the original -
a driving, breakbeat Miami mix by Bosnyak, UK techno inspired Iggy Dope's remix and Bellen's frisky,
jungle remix.
