King Cannibal

As he works on his second album for Ninja Tune, King Cannibal’s new remix EP ‘All The Colours Of The Night’, released on Berlin-based label Ad Noiseam, is a welcome stopgap. Available on vinyl and download, it features three remixes from his ‘Let The Night Roar’ album, one of our albums of the year in 2009, by Krumble, Dead Fader, and Machine Code, plus a King Cannibal reworking of Bong-Ra’s ‘Come Out To Play’.

All three outside producers turn in sterling adaptations of the Cannibal originals, particularly Krumble’s re-vocaled version of ‘So… Embrace The Minimum’, which strays furthest from its source. But the real talking point of the EP is that Bong-Ra remix by King Cannibal himself. Taking the chaotic breakcore of the original, which sounded like it was rushing straight at you, he slows the track right down, sharpens up the guitars and turns it into more of a threat than an attack.

You can stream the full EP here on Ad Noiseam’s Bandcamp page, as well as buying the download and vinyl.
