"Decibel, founder of the label Mineral, breaks out with his first EP, Versus, in which he goes head to head with two of his closest mates Jerga (A.Turquesa), co-founder and 1/2 of Mineral, and Daniel Chavez (B. Fantasy vs. Reality), of Automat Records. On side A, 'Turquesa' takes you on a journey through percussive soundscapes that are broken and funky, but stay driven as if they were straight up 4 on the floor. The remix of 'Turquesa' is brought to you by none other than Pier Bucci, who demonstrates how a true remix should be done by using the framework of the original and transforming it into a funky masterpiece. Producers, grab your pencils and paper and take notes on this one as Bucci takes you to school!! On side B, 'Fantasy vs. Reality' lays down a jacky kick with snares and hi-hats that slap you around like a bully on the playground at recess!! Also laced with mystery samples that poke fun at the state of politics in the world today. This time, the remixing duties are handled by the untouchable, Jay Haze who, like King Midas, seems to turn everything he touches into gold. The underlying melody serves as the backbone for this re-interpretation of the original."
