Old Boys Vinyl Sessions – Is There A Place?

Description

Huge Piano-driven House edit of cult scottish legends The Blue Nile.There’s not much we can tell you about the identities of the “trusty producers” behind the Old Boys Vinyl Sessions project, other than that they have been making and releasing music under various aliases since the pre-MP3 days.

It’s easy to see why they want to avoid publicity, as what’s an offer is a tasty house rework of a string-laden Blue Nile number from back in 1984. The opening ‘Cloudburst Vox’ wraps elements of the band’s sultry, simmering original track (strings, vocals, pianos) and tech-house electronics around a locked-in house groove, while the accompanying ‘Cloudburst Dub’ strips out the vocals while retaining the gorgeous arrangements and druggy 21st century sounds. The extended flipside ‘Torrent Vox’ ramps up the strings and other picturesque sounds, inserting a simply stunning extended breakdown for good measure.
