EB Premiere: Dave.i.d – “ZuluBash” (Front 242 Zulu Scar Remix)
# EB Premiere: Dave.i.d – “ZuluBash” (Front 242 Zulu Scar Remix) \[15.07.2021. Content warning: an [*article*][1] published by J.-H. Kabuiku on July 9th 2021 points out Dominick Fernow's consistent links with metal and noise artists, bands, labels and productions using pedophilia and sexual violence imagery, listing a number of regular collaborators explicitly affiliated with National Socialism and white power ideology. More on this [*here*][2]*\]* {: .p1} Like the immaculately dressed lustchild of [Tricky][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and [Cabaret Voltaire][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}, London's [Dave.i.d][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} has returned with his first release since his 2011 debut *Response*. He already had our ears throbbing with last year's slice of soulfully industrial post-punk "[Soul Reprise][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}", the first taste of his upcoming EP *Exhibition*. Then he blew us away with the dancefloor killer "[ZuluBash][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}". For his finishing move, Dave wrote us and asked us if we wanted to premiere a remix of it---done by Patrick Codenys of Belgian EBM legends Front 242. Our response? "HELL YES." Under the hand of Codenys, the atmospheric pumping fury of the original becomes a sick, twisted version of itself. Static pulses in and out as metallic crashes beat lurchingly; the overall effect is of some monstrous machine given life before it explodes into a fury of crushed synths---yet it remains, somehow, even more gloriously danceable than the original. You can catch Dave.i.d on February 18th at the ICA in London with Luke Abbot as part of [ICA / NTS present Palindrome curated by Trevor Jackson][8]. *The *Exhibition EP i*s out via [MMW1][9]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and [Federal Prism][10]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} on March 10th and also includes remixes by Vatican Shadow, [Raudive][11]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}, and [Dave.i.d][12]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} himself. * [1]: https://jeanhugueskabuiku.substack.com/p/about-vatican-shadow-link-with-the [2]: https://www.electronicbeats.net/on-vatican-shadow-and-the-far-right/ [3]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/artist/tricky/ [4]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/artist/cabaret-voltaire/ [5]: https://soundcloud.com/ddotidotd [6]: https://soundcloud.com/ddotidotd/soul-reprise [7]: https://soundcloud.com/ddotidotd/zulubash [8]: https://www.facebook.com/events/605190166218980/?source=1 [9]: http://www.mmw1.co.uk/ [10]: https://www.facebook.com/FederalPrism [11]: https://soundcloud.com/oliverho13 [12]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/artist/vatican-shadow/
