Dino Lenny – I’m Coming Home [Exploited]
Dino Lenny is an Italian DJ/singer/producer who has been in the industry for decades. Recently, he released an EP on Exploited that consists of a new track “I’m Coming Home” (not to be confused with Feels Like Home), and two remixes of said new track by James Welsh and Purple Disco Machine.
The original track is absolutely incredible. It has a funky disco vibe with catchy vocals overtop a grooving bass-line, a comping piano, and a tight drum beat. The lyrics of “I’m Coming Home” also tell an interesting story so if you have a chance, try and piece together what’s going on behind the music. The track carries a lot of energy and has the ability to put you in a good mood wherever you are. This EP is worthwhile just for this track alone.
James Welsh’s version is borderline acid house. It uses some interesting synths to nice effect, but overall I found it a bit monotonous. Just as a disclaimer, I am not a big fan of a lot of acid house so definitely give it a listen for yourself and make your own decision.
Finally, Purple Disco Machine’s remix is pretty trippy, but uses bass-lines incredibly well. I also loved the piano break as I felt the original mix didn’t give enough attention to the piano stylings that were underneath it all. A great remix, and a very interesting take on the original track.
