Vesu's – Mix Of Lizards EP (12")

Step into a world shaped by Vesu’s — the alias of Finnish artist Vesa‑Matti Kivioja — whose fascination with lizards has driven his List Of Lizards project: two volumes released across 2019 and 2020 via Going Good and Vieno. Now, the Vieno material receives a full remix treatment on Meltdown Deejays.

The release opens with an eight‑minute immersion into dub via “Dracaena Guianensis” (Area remix): deep, steady beats and subtle jazzy tones build an atmosphere both misty and compelling. Next, “Liolaemus Nitidus” (Baleacid Mix by Vesu aka Torolf Stendik) brings Balearic flair and moonlit beach‑vibes to the mix. Italian expatriate Michele Uccheddu (03SIDIAN) then takes “Anolis Rivalis” into Hi‑hat‑driven minimal‑tech‑funk territory: loops become hypnotic, the groove slowly envelops you. Finally, Otto Taimela delivers a tech‑house twist on “Dracaena Guianensis” again — smooth, kaleidoscopic and perfect for a late‑summer dusk into night. The result: a remix pack that is as varied as it is focused, technically sharp and atmospherically rich.

Whether you’re drawn to mist‑laden dub grooves, seaside Balearica or late‑night groove machines, this is a release that rewards deep listening and the dancefloor alike.
