At the heels of a milestone remix for DJ Shadow and De La Soul, Bristol-based twosome Ekcle returns to the forefront of emerging alternative dance music with a wicked new take on Zola Courtney’s “Nothing To Lose.” The namesake track to her 2019 EP Nothing To Lose, Courtney’s celebrated indie-pop single is a tailor-made sound template for the always-imaginative Ekcle. A glimpse into their zealous artistic perspective, the budding musical duo gives the already-impressive cut a kaleidoscopic treatment. Embedded in the experimental fabric that Ekcle is best known for, this opulent remix still manages to pay homage to the original pop-oriented gem. Steeped in the left-of-center style they’re best known for, Ekcle orchestrates a flip that is widely accessible without compromising their complex, digital sound-design. A vibrant, polished remix overwhelmed with replay value, Ekcle’s “Nothing To Lose” reimagination is a one-of-a-kind soundtrack.
