You Go

It's been one hell of a cold winter, but Sender offers a well-deserved respite with a new single that sounds warm, welcoming and wonderfully different. Beaming back this message from some future August are Pelle Buys (Error Error) and A Different Jimi (Egoexpress).

They cooked it up in their Hamburg studio, but you'd never know from the sound of it. Built around a horn sample from the former yugoslavia, "You Go" conjures the feel of an open-air festival at dawn, sand between your toes, the dawn balmy and a hint of sage in the air… The track opens with a rollicking, rattling drum loop suggesting marching bands at Carnaval, and then the horns enter: distant, nervous bursts, tethered like great bobbing balloons to a time-keeping drum machine. It builds and builds, and then: Boom! It's upon you, with a cannonball kick drum and a swirl of filters.

This isn't your average trombone-house track: it comes across like a heat mirage off hot asphalt, morphing and twisting. The mood is just a little bit schizophrenic: offsetting the track's sprightly bounce, an eerie and undulating reed line sketches a darker line. And then once they've drawn you in, Pelle and Jimi switch it up again, dusting off dub-accented chords and dashing down the rabbit hole. "You Go" takes you far beyond where you expected you'd go. On the remix, France's David K—known for his work on Freak n' Chic, Supplement Facts and Tsuba—takes like a carpenter to the original, sanding down its knots and rough edges.

All trace of the horns has disappeared, as he buffs dark chords to a dull shine, pulsing atop driving drums. Once again, David K's drum programming stands out, fusing tech-house's full-on chug with the subtlest hint of vintage electro. And his evolving, unpredictable arrangement is a fitting tribute to the twists and turns of the original.
