Happy Mondays - Hallelujah (Ewan Pearson Remix) - London Records

How do you tackle a British classic with a remix that’s already ingrained the culture of the last 30 years? Ewan Pearson's new take on Happy Mondays 'Hallelujah' sounds fresh from bringing Kirsty McColl’s backing vocals from the Steve Lillywhite mix to the fore, while protecting and updating the dirty groove and piano of Weatherall and Oakenfold’s ‘Club Mix’. The darker synth bass makes it remarkably easy to slip into a contemporary set, with its lo-slung robotic funk. Shaun William Ryder remains high in the mix, never sounding better, or head to the dub to get twisted into the dark throb.
