Time Enough

Is there time enough? There certainly is for the latest single from Jaded Lover on True Mother Records. The production duo turn out their catchiest synthpop number to date with a series of hooks and licks that are sure to stick in your head long after the clock runs out on this track. Matt Wells delivers a deliciously disaffected, far-away vocal drenched in effects that questions the relevance of the proverbial tick-tock with blasé coolness. The instrumental version bring the various melodic intricacies within the song to the forefront as its simplistic, toe-tapping bass-line plays on. New York’s own Dave Rosario along with True Mother label-mates Connie, Mikey Dubs, and Potions form a mighty tetralogy of wildly different remixes to flesh things out.

Dave Rosario brings smooth tech stylings to his “Shaved Hammer Special Mix”. Easy to draw and a killer on the dance floor, pull this baby out late in your set for sure fire dance destruction.

Connie’s remix has a sparse sexiness and an off-kilter wonkiness in full effect, making it perfect for day parties and murky after-hours.

Mikey Dubs stays true to his namesake as he draws heavily on space, delays, and Jamaican-influenced rhythms to craft a seriously chill version of “Time Enough” that’s as versatile as it is good.

Potions goes for the jugular with an epic, cinematic number that clears most of the original’s motifs out of the way as well as completely re-vocalizing the track to sound completely different.

So, what is time anyway? -Z.W.
