Layo & Bushwacka! - It's Up To You (Shining Through) (XL)
release date: 4 August 2003
A more standard dance release from Layo & Bushwacka! than the piano-looped head-nodder of Love Story. Three mixes on one CD, but not too many surprises. The first two mixes are indicative of The End's more eclectic, darker-edged dancefloor policy with a kaleidoscopic vocal dominating.
Mix 1 is the radio edit of the Night Moves album cut and offers little that you won't find elsewhere, while Roni Size offers up the appropriate breakbeat freneticism that serves to chop up the trippy vocal to greater effect.
The in-demand Lee-Carrera duo are on remix duties for track three. Its one for the kind of crowd that appreciate their House tunes in something more than 4/4 time, and is precisely the kind of tune played at around 2 o'clock when things are just about to go awry.
