"Nothing to Give" is a collaboration between hotly tipped Polish duo Rebeka and Lisbon disco don Mirror People which evolved into a record that sees the two acts each recording their own version of a single composition. An initial sharing of ideas and musical parts led to the development of new concepts and different directions laying the way for this unusual approach at a collaborative release and bring through two very different takes on things.
Rebeka is made up of charismatic vocalist Iwona Skwarek and talented producer Bartosz Szczesny; the pair have had quite a buzz around them, even prior to their superb debut "Stars" on Discotexas last year. Mirror People AKA Rui Maia should need little introduction with a string of stellar releases for the likes of Permanent Vacation, Hands of Time and of course Discotexas.
The single opens with Rebeka’s version of "Nothing to Give", a pulsing three and a half minute plus arrangement that puts Iwona's emotive vocals at the heart of things with a stirring mix of pads, synths and bubbling bass working around her. The Mirror People version comes next with Rui taking things into extended 4/4 territory with a rolling disco take that brings a certain sunshine to this superb song.
"Nothing To Give" is out now on Discotexas and available on Beatport.
