First Play: Kamalung – ‘My Boy’ (The Golden Boy Remix)

Most of you will know we are big fans of The Golden Boy aka Dominic Hammonds – here at Data Transmission and he had a momentous 2016 after releasing on Glasgow Underground, MadTech, Love & Other and Nothing Else Matters whilst extensively touring Europe. Today he drops his remix of Kamalung’s ‘My Boy’ and we have the first play.

Something of an inventive enigma on the scene, Kamalung is a mysterious figure flittering between house-inflected, future bass and prominently vocal-led beats, as The Golden Boy steps up to strip the track down to its bones and turn up the temperature on crucial, transfixing key elements. Flipping the original energetic cut into a dark, dubbed-out slither of wriggling, acid-flecked basslines that allow the track’s “absolutely beautiful” (Danny Howard, BBC R1) piano elements to take ‘My Boy’ to new depths.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
