Share
Moksha Recordings is pumped to release Kosheen‘s ‘Hide U [2024 Reload]’, featuring three fresh takes on the noughties club anthem. Dropping on July 23rd, 2024, and distributed via AWAL, this reimagining of ‘Hide U’ from the album ‘Resist’ brings back all the feels from its 2000 debut. Back then, it was a standout in Fabio‘s deep groove sets at Swerve, transformed into a Drum & Bass club anthem, and then an international hit, racking up awards along the way.
Sian Evans‘ soothing vocals on ‘Hide U’ are as spine-tingling as ever, sliding down your spine, making your hips sway, and sticking in your mind, all against those unique rolling beats and quirky, stuttering grooves. This classic tune is like a breath of fresh air, taking us back to their Drum & Bass roots but now with a 2024 twist, thanks to remixes by Mozey (23rd July), René LaVice (1st August), and The Outrage & Markee Ledge (10th August).
The Mozey mix kicks off with a nod to the original before introducing a break that leads into a staccato, metallic, and dissonant chorus. Sian’s vocals glide over the verses, highlighted by an arpeggiated interlude, and then the remix crashes into a raucous soundscape with her glorious ‘Hide U’ vocal taking centre stage.
René LaVice’s mix turns Sian’s haunting vocals into a menacing drop, channelling the raw emotions of the lyrics into an explosive bassline. The middle breakdown dives deeper into the emotional undercurrent, building into a crescendo of euphoric chaos as Sian’s lyric “Danger” loops over and over, culminating in another storm of satisfying bass.
The Outrage & Markee Ledge mix sticks with the original beats for the intro, adding a haunting glockenspiel refrain under the main vocal. A rolling break rhythm and deep bass then take over, driving the track forward under Sian’s beautiful melodic lines.
