The final part in ‘La Mona’ trilogy, ‘Slaying La Mona’ rounds off the series in true #strikeapose style.
Calling once again on the production skills of @Hugo-LX - who featured on Mona Musique’s debut release - ‘NY Collage’ reminds us why he is a firm favourite with label boss @NickV. A standout soulful bassline and trademark Hugo LX drum beat, makes this a sophisticated choice to lift up the dancefloor.
Over on the B side is a remix from man of the moment @Kaytronik The DJ/producer veteran, also known as Karizma, has reworked the track to almost beyond recognition. Deep and dreamy, a new bassline gives it that raw kick, evocative of London in the later hours of the night.
Closing off the EP is a remix of ‘Drifting Away’, Hugo LX’s aforementioned Mona Musique debut. Crafted by Ambroise Boret aka Ambrose, the production head behind releases on late 90s House labels Kif SA and Basenotic, he is also the imprint’s studio engineer. A fan of the Kenlou/MAW era, Ambrose’s rework remains true to the deepness of the original cut, but mixes things up with a tougher, harder-hitting edge and wonky keys.
