The original version of ‘Phasing You Out’ features Kele from Bloc Party and sits at the heart of the new album which again showed that Rocky and Diesel remain dedicated to proper house music. It is a perfectly raw, stripped back and sweaty cut for strobe-lit basements with the tender vocal bringing a sense of emotional yearning.

This remix is a return favour following Rocky and Diesel remixing Northern Irish musician and composer Holmes not so long ago. He has had a 25+ year career in music that has seen him release several vital albums, remix artists like Andrew Weatherall, Primal Scream and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, hold down a cult NTS radio show and turn out a seminal mix for Late Night Tales.
His version of ‘Phasing You Out’ is an intense one that unfolds over eight minutes of percussive density, dusty drum work and careful treatment of the original vocal. The whole arrangement is lavishly decorated with wispy pads and glassy sound effects, police sirens and a rhythmic intensity that never lets up and will work any floor into a frenzy.
David Holmes brings plenty of signature musicality to what is a standout remix of a fine X-Press 2 original.
