The only real chance to rework the compelling beats of Fay Davis-Jeffers'
FAY project would be to rip it up entirely and shamelessly turn it into something that is distinctly your own. Enter Baltimore's Matthew Papich, better known as
Co La, whose reputation for inhabiting his own autonomous sonic realm makes him a great candidate to remix FAY's "Shadow I". Even though Papich leaves the track's bare framework intact, his "Iceless Version" completely realigns the original, abandoning its signifyers while adding some truly unexpected, iridescent layers of synth that perfectly harmonize with FAY's outré R&B stutter.
"Shadow I" is taken from
DIN, which is out on
Time No Place. Stream it in full
