With You. - Speak feat. Elan Atias (2 Bad Mice Remix) [clip] (HYPEDIGI048) by Hypercolour

With You. is a new collaborative group of producers, musicians, DJs and tastemakers, made up of the core members Rick Trainor, Jeff Penalva, Noah Schy, Daouda Leonard and Dave Taylor (Solid Groove/Switch) .

Stepping up on the remix is 2 Bad Mice (for those of a certain age, their run of Moving Shadow and Sm:)e Communication releases will bring a tear to the eye), predictably ramping up the BPM into a jungle tear up. The pair expertly replants Elan’s vocals over a rolling old school break, punctured with heavy bass and melting pads. ‘Crossing’ finishes the EP with the sound of bass-heavy-house-music cooked to perfection. A filtered down melody line and choppy vox wrap around precision drums, driven by a plump kick and the finest of swings, another winner on a EP that heralds a very bright future for With You. , as if it would have been anything else but….
