Raphaël Ripperton is one DJ/producer/labelhead I’m comfortable describing as a mensch. Sure, his talents behind the boards are exceptional and he’s worth his weight in vinyl behind the decks, but his selflessness is what’s earned our praises this time around. Precious Soul, the latest release from his Perspectiv imprint, is a rare appearance from fellow Swiss talent, St Plomb. And although he created a fantastic remix to include with the package he yielded his space for two alluring and varied remixes from Michel Baumann’s Soulphiction and Jackmate guises. Sensing that what he withheld is still worth listeners’ time, Ripperton has generously offered his “All the Precious Things In Life Are Free Remix” to LWE as an exclusive download. Considerably more mellow than the original, Rip lets yawning vocals mark time while swimming through the pads swirling around stately chords. Many thanks to Ripperton for sharing this lovely remix.
