Details: Product Description An inspired set of remixes from Vienna-based dZihan & Kamien's Freaks & Icons opus. Remixers include UFO, Hefner and Atjazz. The moods range from thumping minimalism through sensual Latin vibes and jazzy abstractions, along with subtle infusions of Turkish tribal flavor. Capped with a previously unreleased bonus track from dZihan & Kamien, Refreaked sequences its infectious beats and vibrant melodies to stunning effect Amazon.ca Eight tracks from Dzihan & Kamien's debut long-player, Refreaked get the most subtle of re-rubs. No major missteps here, but then again neither are there any mind-blowing revolutions, with most of the remixers opting for slight changes over complete overhauls. Fauna Flash inject a little adrenaline into "Just You & I". Hefner unfortunately steers the proceedings in the other direction with a lethargic reading of "Slowhand Hussein". Eddy & Dus keep "Smile"'s pop structure mostly intact, simply throwing in a little extra mellow percussion, while Fox 42 engage in a slightly more adventurous, trancier deconstruction of the same track. At Jazz bring "After" out of the humid confines of the R&B club and under the vast skies of the outback. Mum are the only folks who truly get their freak on, reducing "Streets of Istanbul" to a tapestry of human groans and low bass burps. Throw in two agreeable Dzihan & Kamien tracks not available on the original record and you've got yourself almost an hour of dependable, if not defining, downtempo. --Bob Michaels
