The limited Especial Specials continues with 4 remixes of Jaakko Eino Kalevi’s Dreamzone EP. Featuring a heavy weight line up of Tom Noble, Heatsick, Peaking Lights and Vezurro, this is an all-bases-covered masterclass is taking Jaakko’s pop leanings and giving them some boogie, dub and Italo sparkle. Hot on the heels of the Steaua de Mare Remixes comes 4 retakes of Jaakko Eino Kalevi’s idiosyncratic pop stylings. Licensed from Weird World Records, this sees the multi-instrumentalist’s original Dreamzone EP handed over for readjustment. The up, up boogie vibes of Tom Noble’s calling card create his best remix to take. No Fun maybe Jaakko’s ‘ladies’ love hymn, but with Tom’s distinctive “never ending” bass and hats loops moving hips, a keys solo and vocal interplay ensure sublime perfection. Next Steven Warwick’s superb Heatsick project implants his twisted casio-rawness in to Jaakko’s world, marrying Memories ghostly vocals into a mix of afro-clipped beats and lo-fi melody that just fits. So happy to finally welcome in friends, family and inspiration, Peaking Lights in to the family. Aaron and Indra’s uplifting dub love comes alive in this remix, with live bass grooves, vibing keys and Jaakko’s unique vocal riding-a-riddim’ all night long. To close up and coming Vezurro return to No Fun, providing an Italo love ode that can only move hearts into a true Rimini ‘84 summer affair. “Can’t you see that I’m dancing?”
