Alex Metric’s star has risen considerably over the last few years, you can pinpoint this upturn to two things: his excellent ‘Ammunition’ series of club-focussed EPs, and the consistency in which he has been knocking out well-excuted remixes for the likes of Basement Jaxx, Say Lou Lou and St Lucia.
In fact, he’s yet to put out a bad remix in our humble opinion, and he isn’t starting today, as his remix of Australian outfit RÜFÜS, and their sing-along hit ‘Say A Prayer For Me’, is a prickly peach.
Metric turns what is quite a warm track into a full-on glitchy banger, his 2007-sounding interpretation sees the Londoner festoon the original’s vocals with fuzzy basslines and barbed synths lines – adding a whole new dimension to what is already an accomplished track.
