Underworld, Rebuke 'and the colour red' on Smith Hyde Productions

The fastest record in this week's Melodic House & Techno chart belongs to Underworld and Rebūke, whose collaborative remix 'and the colour red' runs at 127 BPM, slightly above the upper edge of the range for this genre section. It is a fresh cut, released on Smith Hyde Productions on 18 Aug, and follows the recent output of both acts: Rebūke's 'Genesys' EP on Afterlife (11 Aug) and Underworld's 'Balance 031' mix (5 May).

The track's audio profile is a level share between drum and harmony. The drums keep steady work throughout while the arrangement sits forward with almost no room under the peaks and not much air up top. It is a pressed, energetic sound that suits the chart position it takes this week, coming in at number one.
