Originally released as part of this year’s Moonlight Records Spring Sampler, the soulful and engrossing deep house offering “All Your Shit” by Glaswegian producer Funk D’Void returns with six reinterpretations from some of Moonlight’s most vanguard residents.

Fresh off his own recent release with Moonlight, Crisis Actors, Rennie Foster’s “Raw Dub” maintains the soul and groove of the original while bringing it into more uptempo and rugged territory. The track begins with piano notes and muted samples of the original that gradually shift into more computerized and atmospheric sounds, maintaining its dance-floor worthy energy throughout.

The remix from Winnipeg artist Joe Silva sits at the most futuristic and uncompromising end of tech house. The instrumentation of the original has been stripped away in favour of booming kicks drums and baselines that reverberate with texture and grit. The vocal sample “All your shit sounds the same” appears throughout the track, this time sounding like a commanding artificial intelligence voice from a machine-driven future.

Vancouver’s Garneau has been known to experiment with genres like ghetto house, lo-fi, and acid. With his remix of “All Your Shit” he can now add electro to that list. His take on one of the most in-demand sounds of modern underground dance floors transports the track into the era of drum machines and hardware sequencers with heavy kick drums and walls of frenzied synths.

Orlando V’s Remix Vocal opts to slow down the tempo and bring the original further into the realm of soul and funk. The character of the new original vocals, keyboards, and baselines are all nods to classic funk elements, and its blending with a definitively house kick-snare pattern makes this a unique mosaic of classical and contemporary.

Calgary-based artist and promoter Topology brings the dark atmosphere and intimacy of her DIY minimal event series to the table for her “Hoi An Tribal Remix.” Space is very much used as an instrument on this track, while rich tribal percussion, hypnotic melodies, and a canopy of bass from the dominant kick drum create an otherworldly and engrossing soundscape.

Detroit’s Drivetrain, who also appeared on the Spring Sampler under his real name Derrick Thompson, once again brings Motor City’s signature sound to Moonlight’s catalogue for his remix. While much of the original’s instrumentation remains intact, Drivetrain nudges up the tempo and fuels his rendition with crisp hi-hats, a sharp jack, and a flurry of piano stabs.

This EP also marks back-to-back appearances of Funk D’Void’s name on Moonlight’s catalogue following They Don’t Love U, his May release that featured two new originals and two accompanying remixes.
