Review
Following releases from label head Federico Giust and MJ Motta, this moody progressive slow burner from the Quimika new blood and a selection of remixes from the Quimika barracks offers a little bit of everything.

Almost as if he’s spliced two tracks into one, Mike Cotgrave's ”Cadejo” is a moody opus of beats and clicks that begins with an alarm - a warning to the listener that as with his “Further South,” your journey is about to begin. Cotgrave is especially adept at layering his tracks and as one effect finishes three others have already begun and filter through to drive the track along towards a crescendo. But Cotrgrave takes it down a notch, adding a slow tribal feel before a funky, jazz piano gives the track and addictive lick while those layers keep building and building to a big room progressive bassline that takes the track home. For a second release, Cotgrave is skillful at creating driving hooks and he isn’t afraid to show his experimental side.

While Mike Cotgrave tinkers away methodically in a dark corner, twisting and tweaking, Grunjah gets loose with the bass and zooming synths before adding a tight bassline. His mix turns out to be a fun-loving peak-timer, with plenty of energy and the addictive lick prominent throughout to drive the tune. A storming track.

Bisquit Plum's remix begins as moody as the original, adding warped sounds to the unstable beat. A few claps and twists and turns aside the track is similar in style to the original, although the warped sounds prevail making it a heavier remix if compared to the previous one. However, this is a remix that has its own high merits and the mood of this tune is intense with the warps and the bassline. Some low-key magic here.

Joe Fisher & The Second remix is a no holds bared tech machine with a hard beat, tight snares and an infectious lick to rival that of the original. Great driving effects, a clicking melody, and that infectious loop build to create a great atmospheric prog tune.

Mike E begins with the original’s second half bassline to rock the speakers, before stripping it down to a moody beat and groovin’ bassline. Intermittent blips add some glitchin’ prowess before a weird vocal sample and more clicks create a tribal feel. This is cool tech house that makes similar use of the hook before a buildup delivers a stomping finish.

MJ Motta's remix strays far from the original, not in itself a bad thing if done to better effect. Motta instead gives the impression he’s focused on getting his sound heard rather than working to offer a lively set of remixes that showcases the original concept. Motta's remix, the layout, form and sounds of this mix are not very agreeable until they are all working together, which takes around 5 minutes.

Final Prognosis: Mike Cotgrave has raised the bar for himself and after just two releases he has set the standard high. For the most part the remixes, particularly Grunjah’s and Joe Fisher's mixes, have produced hugely enjoyable killer tracks leaving Quimika with a bevy of talent on their books.
