Up next on Fresh Meat is UK artist Shenoda with his aptly titled Feelings EP. Shenoda’s “feelings” are deep and emotional while his tracks are percussive, chugging and mind bending without doubt. Like his prior releases on Fresh Meat, Hairy Claw, and Hypercolour the tunes featured here are cerebral dance floor heaters.

The opening track “Departed” is fathomless like the ocean but maintains a thumping trackiness. Upfront percussion and subliminal sounds unite to form a compelling relentless groove. For the remix, Mazi and Justin Long reunite as Wasted Chicago Youth to deliver a left of center, disco psychotic workout. The boys play with field recordings of children and various atmospheric sounds from the original, manipulating these elements into their own special organ-centric romp. An otherworldly Jupiter 8 solo sharpens the otherwise sub-bass heavy sauntering rework.

Shenoda’s second original, "Groggy Head," dives even deeper swinging wide with righteous funk. This is real modern House Music with roots. Expect to see hands in the air if you play “Groggy Head,” with its tuneful groove and vocal commands - “Show me how you!” For the remix we enlisted Fresh Meat artist Densmore for a discerning remix clocking in at a sexy 113 beats per minute. Densmore’s mix builds slowly and gracefully with elements from the original and new percussion building the track into a mid-tempo dance floor grinder. Reminiscent of his “Washington Park” project with Cort, this new remix oozes with the hi-fi bump and grind that heads everywhere will soon recognize as Albany New York’s signature sound.
