Unstable Compound takes Double Rare Tender firmly into dubstep territory, and i really dig the grunge treatment applied to the vocal samples, sounds grittier and neater than ever. Costa and Fulgeance go hard at it turning Be Aware and Brown Box into legit space funk bangers, much more danceable than the originals. Last but not least Railster nails a great rework of Can Never Be with sweet synths and a rolling drumbeat.

Couldn’t be happier with the results, really, this whole project makes me incredibly proud.

As one of Homework’s best albums ever, “Fireworks” deserved a bomb remixes release, meant to underline and deconstruct the original one.
FIREWORKS REMIXES adds a wider look to the downbeat scene already visited by Grillo.
Everything in our plans just happened as we involved an important international name like the parisian Fulgeance; a well known italian one like (Costa) and a rising talent from Bologna: Unstable Compound.
Fireworks is revisited but not destroyed: Fulgeance gives a further demonstration of is open minded music with a pure down-funk remix of Brown Box. (Costa) brings some dusty synth shots to the battle remixing Be Aware. Unstable Compound reveals for the first time his new obscure, filtered dubstep side, playing with Double Rare Tender. In the end, Grillo himself liked everything a lot and decided to put his second vision of Big City Lights, which looks more like a brand new track than a remix.
And the fireworks launch didn’t finish yet…
