The Touch Remixes

12”

Slinkey

More sweetness from the nectar of LA’s progressive scene. Four remixes all tweaked with individual flavor to season that spiceless floor. Kid unknown Joshua Ryan’s brilliance can not be underestimated, nor can Grogan’s remix with underground scene stopper Chelsa. If she is as beautiful as her voice then I’ve found my valentine. New to my ears are Randolph and Gavin’s, remix which is noticeably funkier with a housey break, still no shortage on the energy. “Touched Up,” which is a slight reworking of the original, remains as potent as when it was first introduced. Mo’ bang fo’ the buck. Rampant, 1447 12th St., Suite D, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
