"There's A Jesus In My Nectarine" is the debut release from young Melbourne producer Bill Hunter (Blinky) and his label Beatgeek Records - proving its not just his sense of humour that's creative.

Blinky's live shows have gained quite a following in the local scene, playing alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music his production sound is so diverse its seen him play everywhere from clubs to bush festivals. Alongside the original, "There's A Jesus In My Nectarine" features an impressive set of remixes from Steve May, delivering a Prog infused version suited for the peak time and Kalus, who takes a completely opposite avenue and taking it quite deep.

The original mix is impossible to place into any one basket drifting somewhere between Progressive House, Electro, maybe even Trance; all the while remaining quite minimal. The side chained bassline combined with rolling percussion and fast paced arpeggio create an absolute bomb, sure to set off any dance floor. Steve May's mix twists the melodies around into a somewhat bigger track, using very few of the original samples he does a great job turning it into a slightly more linear Progressive House tune, though sadly it feels like it could have been slightly more extended. Kalus 10 minute interpretation is impressive on its own, deep and techy it goes from one place to another; it isn't till halfway that the main bassline pops up driving the tune forward.

If their first release is anything to go by, Beatgeek have a strong future ahead of them, with a focus on local talent, Beatgeek Records shows there's no reason to look beyond our own shores for some of the freshest electronic music.
