Kavinsky
Protovision EP
To coincide with the release of his 'OutRun' album, Kavinsky drops his 'ProtoVision!' single, which is a typically bombastic synthcore electro banger that's so tough it makes Justice sound like Calvin Harris. The 12" comes packed with reworks too:
First up is Red Sky Mix feat. STS (vinyl exclusive). It was no easy job to tackle this epic instrumental. When he heard Sugar Tongue Slim’s version of 'Nightcall' last summer, Kavinsky knew he had found the man who could turn 'Protovision' into gold. After burning up the underground rap scene for several years, STS is now one of the fastest rising artists around. He gave a big blow with this one and literally took 'Protovision' to another dimension (literally!).
Berlin’s notorious producer Boys Noize got his hands on 'Protovision' and turned it in into a nervous and elegant club hit. Get ready to rave on that sweaty bass and dark beat. “If it’s too loud, you’re too old”, they said?
Between producing tomorrow’s pop talents (Solange, Sky Ferreira, Theophilus London) and working on his solo project Blood Orange, England’s talent of note Devonté Hynes took the time to add his very own touch to Kavinsky’s new release. Giving a fresh and girly feel to the original track, he delightfully transformed it into a groovy pop ballad.
Last but not least we have Sébastien Tellier's version, which is exclusive to this 12". Taste and simplicity is what it took to Tellier to create this own version (not a remix) of 'Protovision'; highlighting hypnotic strings and heroic guitars, the French maestro offered a timeless reinterpetation of the original.
