There’s a story tucked within the spider’s web of monotonous spoken word, ceaseless electronic loops, and immediately recognisable Whitney Houston vocals found on Richie Culver’s deeply engrossing Sunday Mix.
Dubbed ‘sleep paralysis on a one-night stand’ by its creator – the Hull-born multidisciplinary artist behind last year’s I was born by the sea LP, and its forthcoming remix accompaniment featuring Rainy Miller, Space Afrika and more – the new mix explores this precise concept in a fashion akin to the artist’s work across other projects and mediums. Where there is bleakness, there is familiarity. Where there is unease there is, well, a touch more where that came from.
“I walked in and wanted to leave instantly,” begins Culver’s tale. “There was what looked like stolen goods everywhere… Whitney Houston was playing. The CD was skipping. As soon as the door slammed shut, I knew I was trapped there…”
