R. Missing is New York vocalist Sharon Shy and producer Toppy. The enigmatic duo known for their bleak pop noir have released a remix of their cult track «Kelly Was a Philistine» by Berlin producer Bow Church.
Bow Church first made a name for herself on the London witch house scene alongside artists like Crim3s and OKKVLT K?TT. Their sound evolved after relocating and absorbing the experimental and gothic electronic scene in Berlin.
The original version of «Kelly Was a Philistine» was released on vinyl by the revered French label Talitres as part of the 2017 EP «Unsummering.» 2021 has already seen the release of R. Missing’s single ‘Crimeless’ on Sugarcane Recordings with remixes by GusGus and The KVB.
We are facing a remix that was born from the search for an intense and forceful sound. But we are also facing a whole lesson, a way of understanding not only music, but culture, beyond the precariousness that currently prevails, as something expendable, as if music, books or art did not save us. Forget for a moment about this magmatic present, close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by each of the notes that this unique producer offers you, because within this remix you are safe and it seems that everything begins again.
The result of this remix of «Kelly Was a Philistine» is a romantic ode to eclecticism, which makes it sound new without being new, sound old. Without looking like it, masterfully alternating each genre and leaving the labyrinth knowing that, it has been forward or backward, the trip has been worth it.
