Premiere: Vince Watson – Renaissance (VW20 Mix)

There are few names in electronic music more evergreen than Vince Watson. Despite the continual tectonic shifts in music trends, Vince has always been present, swimming in a lane of his own.

Just listing some of the labels the Glaswegian, now Netherlands-based producer has guested on is like running your finger across the rings of a tree: 16b’s Alola, the mighty Delsin, Josh Wink’s also-evergreen Ovum, Berlin techno mecca Tresor, Steve Bug’s Poker Flat, Carl Craig’s Planet E and even legendary New York house imprint Nervous Records. This is without mentioning a glittering remix career casting a net that is even more diverse.

Now, hitting the 20 year mark in the game, Vince’s latest project ‘VW20‘ is equal parts a labour of love and a celebration. Taking his discography from his early years, Vince has stripped down those seminal tracks and reworked them. With changes in tempo, restructuring, recording of new and additional parts, or even given the beatless ambient work out, it is a vital re-imagining of a glittering catalogue.

When it came to picking up a track off this bulky compilation, we have chosen ‘Renaissance‘ as our highlight. First released on Planet E in 2006, it has had its original drum track gutted and uplifted into contemporary territories, as fresh and hypnotic as it ever was. Get down.

‘VW20’ drops on Vince’s own Everysoul imprint, in both lavish box set form and as six stand alone EPs. He has also offered 24bit WAVs to any purchaser who gets in touch. It releases on 28th August on Bandcamp and other retailers from 10th October.
