Toshio Matsuura Presents HEX "Hello to the Wind (Z’s Groove Dub)" featuring Grey Reverend
Following the release of Toshio Matsuura' 2014 Blue Note Project "HEX", MENACE comes back with another instalment, this time focusing on the sessions of "Hello To The Wind", a Joe Chamber ballad issued on the first album, featuring folk vocalist Grey Reverend (Bonobo, Cinematic Orchestra).
In addition to the two unreleased takes - the instrumental "Z Groove", and the ambiant "Starry Version" - Matsuura-san and Mido invites Paris-based producer Hugo LX to rework the song, giving birth to a bass and piano driven electronic "Purple Version », and a aerial, jazzy-house "Turquoise Version" starring Kansas City trumpeter Hermon Mehari.
