Bomb Alert! Mala remixes Grace Jones

It’s the kind of pairing so perfect, you might never have believed it would ever actually come to fruition. Digital Mystikz‘ Mala remixing Grace Jones? One of the deepest heads in dubstep reinterpreting the Jamaican-American diva icon? Dream on, man.

Except that it did happen, as FACT magazine announced a few days ago. And better yet, it’s not just some mega-limited pressing that no one outside the DMZ inner circle will ever get their hands on: Wall of Sound have given the ‘Love You To Life’ remixes an honest-to-goodness digital release.

The original version of ‘Love You To Life’ appeared on Jones’ 2008 album ‘Hurricane’; featuring Sly and Robbie Shakespeare, it’s a dark, driving fusion of reggae and R&B. Mala, as you might expect, strips it down, way down, to Jones’ vocals and a bare-bones rhythm section. He zeroes in on the bass as only he can, blowing it up into a force that feels all-encompassing, almost overwhelming. Massive doesn’t begin to describe it.

Grace Jones, ‘Love You To Life (Mala & Digital Mystikz Remix)’

It all sounds too good to be true, but there it is. I just about fell out of my chair when I found it in Beatport’s catalogue last night. It’s rare that you find Digital Mystikz’ music available digitally (ah, the irony), so this one’s a special treat. And by all means don’t miss ‘Deep Medi Releases Vol. 1’ and ‘Deep Medi Releases Vol. 2’. Culled from vinyl releases on Mala’s own Deep Medi Musik label, and featuring Mala, Hijak, Coki, Loefah, Goth Trad, Silkie, it’s essential stuff for any low-end addict.
