Grapefruit Sound Lab
Gina Volpe & Grapefruit Sound Lab - Shine (Red House Mix)
Review by Gary Hill
The idea here is that Grapefruit Sound Lab has created a remix of punk artist Gina Volpe's tune. I should mention that I'm not sure if this should go under her name or theirs. Ultimately since it was sent to be along with a number of GSL's music, I'm landing it under that artist name. Before listening to this, I gave the original a listen, and it's definitely not a punk song. That said, I've heard some of the rest of her stuff, and she does qualify as punk, albeit a newer, more polished form. The original version of this, though, has a more electronic pop produced sound. The main difference from that tune and this one is that the focus here is more on dance music. The energy game is upped, and the tune grooves a bit more.
