Julian Shah-Tayler – Malicious Intent (The Untalented Mister Ripley) + Remixes

Julian Shah-Tayler (a.k.a. The Singularity) is set to drop his new single titled ‘Malicious Intent’ tomorrow (December 20th) from his upcoming album ‘Honne/Tatemae’ dropping in 2025 via Impossible Things Records.

Julian is one of those ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ type of musicians. If you were paying attention when you first found him, you don’t have to sound like a complete tool when you go around asking ‘who was that guy that made that one song?’. He has his own signature sound, that is unmistakable anywhere and everywhere he turns up. But it is his solo music that he really shines and steps out of the norm with. There is no restraint and total freedom. And that is where Julian shines.

With ‘Malicious Intent’ we get a song that feels like an ocean of sound and clear sky of lush canvas. Stretching that concept even further are two remixes featuring Danny Saber and Flip X. We get three interpretations of the mind behind the madness. The original, in and of itself, has an almost remix vibe in that there is an off center feel about it that, while you can’t place, you can’t miss. This is the concept of originality at it’s core. When you have just enough familiarity to entice you yet just enough feeling of comfortability to keep you from leaving, all while feeling you’re in uncharted territory.

The remixes keep the spirit alive and take it further off center from that elusive mark. Flip X being the more groove oriented while Danny Saber taking the more atmospheric approach. But, what I love about the remixes, is that the artist doesn’t get lost in the mix. They tell the same story from different points of view, lending to finding a favorite with different audiences. Brilliant.
