Duplicated from (Leftroom Records Robin Ordell andquot;The Showandquot;) Rising star of London's underground music scene and French native, Robin Ordell iscausing a stir with his deep, bassy productions and regular feats behind the decks.'The Show', his first release for Leftroom looks bound to escalate his ascent.'The Show' first grabbed the attention of label boss Matt Tolfrey when Robin playedit at one of the infamous Half Baked Sunday parties where he holds a residency. Itmade such an impression that Matt immediately approached the DJ booth to findout what it was and by the following week at a lunch meeting, the track was signedeven before the food arrived. It has been a highlight of Matt's sets worldwide eversince and Simon Baker even caused one of those famous 'sit downs' on thedancefloor DC10 style when he played the original at Circo Loco in Leeds.The original in this package is a true statement of intent, kicking off with killer bassheavy percussion, clap drums and a crescendo of rhythmic cries. Weaved into itscore is a looping sample of beguiling artistic commentary given by themythological Moodymann but Ordell truly brings the funk with the infectiouslygroovy bassline, sealing the hypnotic effect of this after-party staple.The remix artist here, Felipe Venegas, delivers three striking cuts that explore variousmoods and veneers. In the first mix, Venegas breaks up the percs and layers themwith a scattering of cymbals, while still keeping the funky bounce of the original andMoodymann vocal. The slightly more techno orientated 'Inferno Mix' creates adarker mood with dubby, atmospheric bass, spooky synths and shuffling drums, bornto be played in a murky basement. The 'Loop Mix' is the quirkier animal laced withwarped synths and inventive touches.Growing up in Nice, France, Robin Ordell moved to London in 2007 and foundhimself completely seduced by the thriving underground house and techno scene.Soon he started putting his passion into practice crafting his skills as a DJ with a solidunderground house style and within a couple of years Robin was getting booked byFabric, TBar and Kubicle. Now an East London institution, Sunday party Half Bakedwas established with Robin firmly at the fore and its phenomenal success hasenabled Robin to play alongside the likes of Craig Richards, Seuil, Lee Curtiss,Mayaan Nidam and Le Loup.
