Jacques Greene
“No Excuse” (Fort Romeau Remix)
Phantom Vibrate Remixes EP (out May 30 on LuckyMe)
Jacques Greene’s outstanding, Phantom Vibrate, has been heavy rotation since in dropped last month, and now it is getting the full remix treatment. Yung Gud’s delicious “No Excuse” remix has been floating around for a while, but this sweltering, monolithic re-work from London stalwart Fort Romeau is our first official taste of the EP. Romeau (né Michael Greene, no relation) expertly builds an arid, ephemeral arraignment around the original’s floaty vocal sample. The busy steel drums are a lovely touch to the album’s undulating synths, giving the evocative original a decidedly dancefloor-focused feel.
