Kidda - V.I.P.

Skint Records



After this "V.I.P." single release, the world should kneel down before the well-kept secret of good remixes. Kidda, formerly of Catskills, indeed has a feline approach to the turntables. For his first 12" on his own label, the guy milks a robust herd of sacred cows, when it comes to remixing previously recorded material. Neither do the ensuing versions of "V.I.P." sound like a carbon copy of the original, nor are they aliening babies of the same womb.

Fortunately, the man scratches it up and slows it down like a possessed devil, inevitably leading his followers to the dance floor. In fact, with the original version of "V.I.P.", featuring vocals by Beatnuts MC Psycho Les and a childish choir, even Scrooge McDuck's ass goes down.

What follows is a less organic take on the mold, a butcher's work of art, as delivered by Puma Strut's Beathoven. It's a sweaty cut that will have gangsta rappers dreaming of jumping in hot girls' pants. And then the instrumental and acapella mixes – so simple, so economical, so perfect. It's amazing how less than 15 minutes worth of music can make you dream of blooming, remixing tomorrows.
