Nosaj Thing: Home Remixes 12″
Picked this up at the Michigan Theatre when James Blake played there (we had balcony seats!). I haven’t listened to Nosaj Thing much since his first album, but he started out with a Julianna Barwick sample and was generally a lot more hazy than I remember his music being. Anyway, I got this 12″ because it has Kyle Hall and Gerry Read remixes on it. Kyle Hall’s mix of “Try” is typically great stuff for the young Detroit house prodigy, nice clippy beats and samples and night skyline chords. The Gerry Read mix of “Light #3” surprised me more, though, it had more random sounds and kicking beats. A bit Akufen-ish, but not that type of micro-house glitch overkill. Kind of lo-fi and rough. And there’s a brief, excited melody and high-pitched vocal loop that show up for just a few bars towards the end. The record also skips a little and I can’t tell if it’s my copy or if the music is just being really sneaky. Fun stuff.
