Label: White Label

Tracklist:
- A: Professional Distortion (Subsky 'In Your Face' Mix)
Miss Kittin "Professional Distortion (Subsky Mix)"
Out Now on White LabelBased in Berlin, Miss Kittin has become one of the most inspirational figures to emerge from the European dance scene in the last half decade. Be it as a DJ, or more recently a vocalist and producer in her own right, she has been responsible for several seminal moments in dancefloor history, with her work with longtime collaborator The Hacker of particular note. Earlier this year she released her debut solo album 'I Com', from which the her first single 'Professional Distortion' was taken. Upon hearing it, Subsky was so suitably impressed he did his own interpretation of the track, and over the course of the summer, with more than a little help from Sasha, it's become one of the most sought after tracks of the moment.
Taking a bit of a step away from his usual production work, Subsky's 'In Your Face Mix' takes the pounding beats and grinding synths of the original, merging them a seriously dirty bassline. If you thought the original was dark and distorted enough, wait until you hear this one peak, as it builds and builds until the distorted loops override everything in a fierce wave of sound, turning this anthemic slice of electro into a forceful and energetic weapon for your record box.
If you've heard Sasha on his Involver tour, or are a fan of the original, you'll know exactly what to expect, so if you're lucky enough to track down one of these limited white labels and are looking for something a little extra to add to your record box, make sure it's a copy of this.
