Marvin Aloys – Crazy Things At Night

Review: Second time around for DJ Hell's popular rework of Marvin Alloys' 'Crazy Things At Night', which first dropped digitally late last year. On this vinyl edition, Alloys' original mix - a driving, tech-tinged slab of pleasingly intergalactic deep house goodness - is tucked away at the end of side B. The focus first falls on Hell's 2023 remix, a bounding, raw-sounding and mind-mangling workout that mixes select elements of the original mix with looser drum machine beats, mangled electronics and sounds reminiscent of the German's ground-breaking electroclash productions of the late 90s and early 2000s. We're also treated to a bonus version in the shape of 'Hell's Crazy Things At Night', a rolling and sub-heavy affair that levels up the jacking swing and dials down the more lo-fi, electroclash-inspired elements.
