In 2015 London Elektricity surprised us all with his first album in over five years. ÔAre We There Yet?Õ more than deserved its influx of praise, now the Med School team has taken on the label bossÕ latest masterpiece. The ÔMed School ScansÕ LP examines, dissects and transforms each track, injecting every memberÕs unique persona into the critically acclaimed original.
Etherwood, Keeno and Anile compliment London ElektricityÕs originals with class, elevating each into majestic adaptations. Whiney and S.P.Y keep up the funk of ÔTenderlessÕ and ÔWhy Are We Here?Õ while seeping through heavier subs and thicker percussions. Frederic Robinson creates an epic, dreamlike state with his rendition of ÔSeven Days To LiveÕ.
Royalston and Rawtekk donÕt hold back, their reconstructions of ÔTone PoemÕ and ÔTelefunken Lizard FilterÕ move from jazz and soul to depth and darkness. The LP also features members of The Erised with Hidden Element taking ÔParallaxÕ to a whole other level.
Outside of the Med School alumni, weÕve got up and comers GLXY with a sublime half-time trip on ÔArtificial SkinÕ. Kimyan Law keeps things crisp, finely tuning ÔThat Thing You DidÕ and Subwave falls deep into a whirlpool of Emer DineenÕs luscious vocals in his portrayal of ÔPhase UsÕ.
All 15 tracks in this remix LP keep hold of the London Elektricity essence yet spread the sound further across either end of the drum & bass spectrum. With ten years already behind them, Med School continue to push forward as a strong, independent player exploring every corner of drum & bass with their diverse roster of talented artists.
