Run Hide Survive

I love pleasant surprises. It seems whenever I feel a bit bored or as if every other message in my inbox is about the same exact band, someone sneaks in something unexpected.

Run Hide Survive are a DJ duo from Sheffield. They’ve taken on stages at Glastonbury, Fabric and Field Day, and shared turntable duties with Erol Alkan, Herve and Simian Mobile Disco. Not a bad resume, is it? I’ll confess that before I was sent this remix I’d never heard of them, but you can bet I’ll have an eye out for future releases.

Normally, I like to hear an original track prior to hearing a remix, just to place it into context. In this case, I’ve never heard of I Monster nor their song ‘Lust For A Vampy’. If I were to guess simply based on the remix, I’d say maybe they might sound a bit like Blonde Redhead? Total shot in the dark, obviously. This mix really stands on its own though, so maybe it’s best I heard it first. Very dreamy yet dancey. Reminds me of some of Optimo’s funkier mixes and the heady days of Output Recordings.
