The Bionics - Love Chains (Max Essa Dub).mp3

Here is the previously unreleased Max Essa dub of The Bionics Love Chains.

The Bionics are a studio project consisting of Paper honcho Ben Davis (Flash Atkins) with Crazy P’s Danielle Moore and Tim Davies. They released the Solid Silver album on Bocajito Records in 2007 to great acclaim for it’s meshing of styles like house, disco, funk, rock and soul and is now available on Paper Recordings.

The lead track was Love Chains which is a slow burning deep houser that starts with a nagging one note bass and Danielle’s plaintive vocals before heading on to disco territory.

Remixes came courtesy of Mic Newman, Nail Diablo and cosmic disconaught Max Essa. Max has history with Paper from back in the day, having released the Detritus Excitus album as well as numerous EPs with his partner in crime, Tim.

Now working on his own, it was a pleasure to get him involved and he demonstrates why he’s at the forefront of the nu-disco movement with a remix that begins with an NRG bassline and percussion then takes the parts and weaves them together to create some quality space disco. The original version had a full vocal but this is the previously unreleased dub, available as a free download.
