Charleston - Red Hearts Of Gold / Provocateur (& Youandewan / Stavrogin / Chamboché Rmxs) by Good Bait published on 2012-06-07T09:39:57Z London’s Good Bait blog/label delivers it’s second release early this summer – an EP from Charleston entitled ‘Red Hearts of Gold’ / ‘Provocateur’ featuring remixes from Youandewan, Chamboche and Stavrogin. Charleston’s first single for Good Bait, released earlier this year, picked up an admirable love from just a handful of promos. Picking up plays on BBC6 Music and 1Xtra, the band’s hook laden, edgy indie pop shone through and it’s second release, ‘Red of Hearts of Gold’ / ‘Provocateur’ is the perfect follow up. As immersive as it is instant, ‘Red Hearts of Gold’ is a rousing, dense number that showcases vocalist Lily Gaskell’s talents with orchestral gusto. ‘Provocateur’ flits from ethereal aggression to half tempo drops, indulging everything between in a rhythmic drum and synth onslaught. Youandewan, a producer who is no stranger to toying with preconceptions, turns in a futuristic deep house version of ‘Red Hearts of Gold’ that draws on almost-there Juno 60 keys and dubbed vocals and chords. A surefire summer bomb, it’s some of the Leeds-based producers finest work to date. Stavrogin, a fresh talent still feeling love from his release on Courtship Records late-2011, delivers a slow- burning, beats orientated remix of ‘Provocateur’ that allows Gaskell’s voice to sour above a stripped back combination of mechanical and organic beats. Finally, the hotly tipped deep house producer Chamboche turns in a moody, stompy yet beautiful interpretation of ‘Red Hearts of Gold’ that uses loose, chopped loops and lingering vocals to sit around an infectious tapestry of synths. It’s a closing mix that shows the producer’s talents to the full.
