Beat Remvie

Of the quartet of tracks offered up on this, Flexibilia's 19th release, 'Live Well and Prosper' is the most uncomplicated piece of pop music, with a bittersweet delivery from Beat Remvie himself. Elsewhere on the EP 'Rollercoaster' is a retro-referencing, indie-dance effort featuring Sarah P formerly of Keep Shelly In Athens, who here channels another Sarah (Ms. Cracknell of 90s indie darlings Saint Etienne), while 'Typin'' takes us to an altogether moodier environment with its puissant synthline and lowering, confessional delivered by Evan Handlet. Harking back to the poppier days of early noughties electro clash, and with some US style beatronica thrown in for good measure Beat Remvie has however turned in a slow burning anthem with 'Break It', elevated by the honeyed tones of Yorgia Karidi, whose contribution fuses with the artists own vocal layerings to create a dreamlike marriage. Eskimo Recordings' own Nteibint was at the controls for the mixing, whereas Flexibilia's audio warrior Throttler worked his magic in the mastering suite!
