On the face of it, this is an odd culture clash, with the folksy, atmospheric pop of American singer/songwriter Simone White being given a thorough going over by Workshop+ mainstay Kassem Mosse. Yet sonically, it makes sense; Mosse is a master at eking the last drops of atmosphere from the barest of drum tracks, while White’s vocals are sometimes ghostly and always beguiling. There’s a clanking percussive simplicity to Mosse’s spine-tingling extended interpretation of “Flowers In May”, while “Long Moon” is transformed into a spaced-out ambient jazz jam. As for “In The Water Where The City Ends”, it’s as dreamy, evocative and soft focus as you’d expect. All three remixes show Mosse’s softer side, far from the dancefloor-centric workouts he’s most famous for.
