'Fifths' is a collection of remixes produced by Berlin/London-based beat-maker Ess85. His objective: to give his favorite urban artists an electronic makeover. Each remix is custom-built and meticulously designed around the acapella, taking tonality and song structure into consideration. Power chords – also known as “Fifths” – feature heavily on the EP’s production, giving this release both its name and its dancefloor friendly sound.
