Romanian duo Khidja return to Emotional Especial with two eastern balearic nuggets plus two excellent remixes from Fairplay and Juju & jordash.
"Mustafa" - shuffle percussion, swirling sirens and acid bubbles leading to a perfect horn break. In the hands of Mr Fairplay, the track takes on anthemic qualities. "Abdul" finds Khidja in a more calming mood reminiscent of Art of Noise, though the kick and bass ensure there is plenty of rhythmic emphasis, whilst the Juju & Jordash remix edges towards a Balearic digidub vibe.
