Dub and breakbeat meet on this exhilarating new frock for 9 O’Clock Nasty’s ‘Too Cool’, a remix put together by Mark Yorath, also known as EQ.
A rebuild of 9 O’Clock Nasty’s most popular cut to date, the EQ Remix for ‘Too Cool’ is miles apart from the conventional, meaty rock of the original. An English 3-piece rock outfit, 9 O’Clock Nasty are originally based in the rowdy and characterful Leicester, and this reimagining of their most popular cut has been made by Mark Yorath, working with Phil Haywood and DJ Mastersafe, all three of them knowledgeable and handy with drum and bass and breakbeats, there is no surprise this remix turned out as tight as it did.
The scratching glitchiness, breakneck pace, and vocal processing are all hallmarks of that style of music, all indications for a remix done by capable hands. And indeed, this remix for ‘Too Cool’ is not only sonically fitting, it is also fun, engaging, and full to the brim with exciting ideas, all executed quite nicely, for a resulting track that is simply infectious.
The EQ remix for ‘Too Cool’ is something extraordinarily different from the real thing, yet it is equally gripping and entertaining. A terrifically well-made remix.
