Esser “Satisfied (Mad Professor Mix)”
It seems we’re about six or seven months too late in hitching a ride on the Esser bandwagon, but that won’t at all stop us from belatedly hyping Mad Professor’s island-soaked remix of the Essex-born drummer-turned-frontman’s 2008 single, “Satisfied”.
Justfiably praised as one of last year’s best singles (it can currently be found on Esser’s recently dropped full-length, Braveface), the original “Satisfied” immediately wooed with an oddly alluring, old-vinyl-leaning air of tango and ska influences, topped off by the 23-year-old’s lazily crooned advice towards his fellow gender (“You know a man can never win/ Even if you buy her all the shoes/ So when you play the game of love, my friend/ It’s a game you’ll always lose”).
Under Mad Prof’s helm, the song undergoes a dubby re-haul that further heightens the original’s innate spookiness and transfixing timelessness, while attaching an even more darker slant to Esser’s caution.
So captivating. So twisted. We’d love to hear these two hook up again.
