Booka Shade - Teenage Spaceman

Posted by Hugh Morris at 31/08/2010 00:00:00

Textbook Booka Shade with under-stated synths flowing throughout and muted percussion, Teenager Spaceman is undeniably well-crafted. Nothing to set the club on fire - nor does it create the same euphoria as first single Donut did - but the extended mix is still a joy to listen to. While the radio edit does not give the track long enough to settle, the 10-minute Booka in Space mix certainly does. The repetition takes control inducing a beautiful state of comatose.

Sei A offer two remixes - the Bass mix and the Synth mix. The Bass mix bends the harmonics and enrages the bass producing a growling wanderer of a track, while the Synth mix focuses the energy on the delicate riffs. The result is a more accessible late-night dance track that still retains the aural impression of floating in space. 

Tim Deluxe does create the Future Disco he aspires to - a much more pulsating rendition of the original which completes the package nicely. Not the most impressive of Booka's work but a nice EP nevertheless.
