New Yorker, Luca Venezia, or Curses!, as he is known to Institubes, displays a marvelous talent in mixing some of the catchiest vocal samples this side of the '90s with some of the most genre-defying wobbles you will ever hear.
Drop The Lime, owner of his own record label, Trouble & Bass, produces tracks that tickle fidget but play more into the hands of bassline and grime - Set Me Free is no exception. Surging bass and cut up vocals define the assault on the ears before euphoric synths overlay a musical call to arms; "I need the music to keep me alive."
The remix package ticks all the boxes. Lil Silva twists the bass into tech-house tribal beats, whilst ZDS draws a much more refined feel to a seven minute techno take. Reso, in the style of Burial, leaves Set Me Free as an after-party, subdued, dubstep treat; atmospheric wonders.
The stand-out remix comes from Harvard Bass who delivers a powerful vocal drop to jacking electro house. Stabbing synths complement the previously grimey aura to the track giving it that extra kick.
Once again, Drop The Lime, succeeds in consistently crisp production without compromising on dancefloor appeal. The modernisation of '90s vocal house is gloriously achieved when it comes to Drop The Lime.
