Over the past decade the French duo of Tepat Huleux and Giac Di Falco, aka You Man, have made a name for themselves on the underground disco scene with their stunning live shows, Huleux's hypnotic visuals created and releases on labels such as as Tronik Youth’s NEIN and Eskimo Recordings. Now a decade on the pair are revisiting their acclaimed debut EP, and its lead track Birdcage, inviting some of the many friends they've made over the years to help them celebrate.
Originally released on the now defunct Alpage Records, Birdcage's chugging 109bpm beat and a melody that switches from throbbing minimalism to something that stands tantalisingly close to a full on Ibiza sunrise moment made it the kind of track that is never far from a discerning DJs record bag and perfect for reinterpretation.
Alongside Theus Mago You Man have also called in another Mexican producer, Rigopolar, whose previous includes releases on labels like Duro. Taking the track in a completely different direction, Rigopolar focuses in on Birdcage's melody to produce a much more laid-back remix, that floats along at a stately pace and allows the hypnotic synth refrain to be slowly subsumed in a wash of dream like textures. Hypnotic and emotional and definitely one to greet the sun with on some Balearic beach.
