GOOD VOODOO (CHAIM RMX)

No question, 'Good Voodoo' is one of the hits that will be appearing in May on Kiki's second album, Kaiku. Whomever has heard the organ sequence and the bewitching vocals from Chela Simone will never forget it. Mark Kinchen would be proud of Kiki. No one has ever heard such classic house-inspired work from Kiki. What is better, then, than remixes by friends for the first release, 'Good Voodoo', as BPC195. Jay Haze increases the speed on the edit, leaving the sleek open hi-hats and turns the track into a sharp-edged groove that means serious business at peak time. Then, when the organ is replaced with a piano hook line and the track rises from the driving rhythm, the walls flutter and quake with excitement. Visionquest is Ryan Eliott, Shaun Reeves, and man-of-the-moment Seth Troxler. The three ex-Detroiters take šGood Voodoo›'s elementary, stripped down components and transform them into a driving house track. Also, label mate Chaim focuses completely on the hypnotic interaction between the vocals and the groove. Reduced to the bare necessities, tracky and with that groove, the remix goes on and tops off the record perfectly.
