30/70: elevations

See this content in the original post

30/70 treat us with a follow up to their critically acclaimed LP Elevate. Entitled Elevations, the EP opens up with a reimagined live version of "Steady Hazin'" recorded by the band in their living room & studio space in the north Melbourne suburbs. The rest of the EP sees songs from Elevate revamped, chopped, and stitched together by artists close to the Rhythm Section International label from London, Sydney and Paris.

Neue Grafik manipulates "Slangin" into a rolling broken beat jam with a deeply hypnotic, rolling take on the original. Up next is Sydney native Setwun, who made his Rhythm Section debut with the track "Inner West Wind Up", included in a Compilation for Dominica. Elevating us, the vocals of 30/70's "Get To Me" are a perfect fit for the broken beat trip Setwun created. The elements are all there, as the track embrace us beat by beat.


Going deeper into the jungle, the third remix is a track from Rainforest Productionson - a ravey tip. Rounding things up are two versions from Rhythm Sections very own Z Lovecraft, who offers us a Vocal Dub alongside an alternate version.

Newly released, Elevations EP is an appetizer for the anticipated 2018 European Tour. Creative associations on this one!
