Andrei Eremin aka Ony The King but also not really aka that name but I think it would be deserved and not out of the realms of possibility so maybe let’s make it happen. That’s the name of the dude who’s gone and remixed this Milwaukee Banks track. We’ve talked about him a couplea times before by virtue of his production work but also while listening through his originals and I’ve always been pretty heavy on the praise as befitting of his efforts and that run of form isn’t going to stop here. I was pretty middling in my feelings towards Milwaukee Banks before I caught their Bigsound set but I’ve polarised my opinions and they’ve moved in the right direction, provided you’re also a fan. I was filtering their records through a hip-hop lens and in that way it didn’t feel like it cut through too well. Not a skip-hop lens, just the same sort of measure stick you’d apply to a Jackie Onassis track maybe. It’a actually quite a tricky bar to measure up against because it demands not only forward thinking production but a vocal that is more modern than most Australian hip-hop but still an Australian voice. Then I caught the second half of that Bigsound set and I realised I was seeing them all wrong. The dudes aren’t going to be the next Jackie Onassis, they’re going to exist in the same world as Black Vanilla. Dylan isn’t an MC, he’s a vocalist which sounds arbritary but I promise it ain’t, I just don’t have the time nor the inclination to explain why. Something to do with the vocal’s relationship to the beat, etc etc.

Meantime, I also caught Ony’s own set at the party I put on which was always going to be a roaring success (because of me and my involvement and all the things that I do) but this fella span that remix and my word, it was onnnnnnn. Free download too. A straight shoe-in for any of y’all booking future DJ sets.
