I have been sitting on this for weeks and I am not only proud but also privileged to present this exquisite EP of the Electro-Breaks signature producer of Boxon Records – @Dilemn_.

Following the sterling release of his album ‘Better Worlds’ he has taken a couple of the pearlers out of it and handed them across to some of the biggest names in the EDM scene to work their magic.

The first is from Bastian Heerhorst who is better known as German, electro house maestro Fukkk Offf on the track ‘Like This’. His remix has some additional filthy edits weaving throughout with the original echoing synths echoing further and the haunting tones of the organ giving the track presence. For such a minimal tune the amount of effects within it is almost astonishing.

Lazy Rich has sprinkled his own fairy dust on ‘Don’t Break It’ and he has broken it and stuck it back together with a variety of chops and stutters making it sound as if Far Too Loud was born in Bordeaux. It’s such a dirty, frantic and bouncy electro house tune, lovers of the genre with love it.

The track ‘Clapping’ has had the most takes on it after Boxon Records launched the ‘Clapping Remix Contest’ on Soundcloud with The Noisy Freaks from Limoges, France being the first place winners. After their own conception being only last year they are coming far very quickly and this will certainly help them on their path. They’ve managed to do the most important thing: They’ve kept the funk; And the best thing about this remix is the fact that they have made it funkier. The sultry disco essence of the track remains and they’ve filled it up with extra electronic tweaks and the balance is terrific. That bassline is a wondrous piece of work.

The Clamps have also managed to get a place on the EP with their version which again, still has the funk in places but in a more electronically manipulated fashion. This is more for the stompers. It’s a gutsier rendition and more tech related. This is a serious clubbers tune. The way the drops kicks in is delightful.

The D.Vice featuring DJ Addict remix is a good partnership. This has got that little extra some depth. This dubstep remix of ‘Clapping’ doesn’t ruin the original track nor has it been made into something entirely different as some dubstep remixes tend to do. When you hear it you can tell it’s a different version of the original and I applaud that. The trickling high tones with the depth of the wubs and wobbles match beautifully in contrast.

The last remix of ‘Clapping’ is by The Wobbler who seems to have done what I would call a genuine remix. Everything sounds more or less the same but in different places. What seems to be extra guitar riffs within the track are to me an additional bonus.

Now one of the biggest tracks that appears on the album is the title track itself ‘Better Worlds’ which features MC Youthstar strutting his urban lyrical talent and with the additional pace added to the record thanks to the Blatta & Inesha it appears to work better. The Dilemn signature funk that tends to be within the bassline is still very much present. The Dutch style tints that have been infused add intensity to this already top ranking track especially after being included in a recent Annie Nightingale set live on BBC Radio 1. Awesome electro.

The ‘Better Worlds Remixes’ EP by Dilemn is released by Boxon Records on November 7th 2011.
