FEATER -, VILJA LARJOS — Pepe Bradock Bonus Bit & Villalobos Dubs

Feater - & Vilja Larjos – Pepe Bradock Bonus Bit & Villalobos Dubs arrives on Running Back as catalogue RBFEATERRMX2, a 12-inch vinyl that gathers two of the most idiosyncratic producers in minimal house for a focused remix EP. The record re-imagines the vocal from Vilja Larjos’ “Time Millionaire” – originally from the Socialo Blanco album – through the lenses of Pépe Bradock and Ricardo Villalobos, offering peak-time versions, dub treatments and bonus fragments that showcase each remixer’s distinct aural design. Within the Running Back catalogue this release sits alongside a cluster of same-day issues: the “Time Million (Remixes)” EP (RBFEATERRMX1) and Edward’s mastermix LP (RBEDWARDLP) all share the 2026 release window, while earlier outings such as Roman Flügel’s “Mega EP” (RB105) and Gibson Brothers’ “Oooh What A Life, Heaven” (RBSSS1) illustrate the label’s ongoing dialogue between UK-rooted dance music and more experimental currents. The presence of both Bradock and Villalobos on this EP underscores Running Back’s commitment to pairing underground auteurs with fresh vocal material. Side A opens with “Time Million (Villalobos Dub)”. Villalobos stretches the original vocal into a hypnotic, looping landscape, allowing the phrase to dissolve into a deep, percussive groove that feels tailor-made for late-night decks. The dub’s subtle modulation and kinetic swing give it a timeless quality that can both anchor a set and serve as a bridge between more melodic moments. Side B delivers two distinct Bradock interventions. “Time Million (Pépé’s Often Bachapella)” strips the track back to its vocal core, presenting the voice of Vilja Larjos in a sparse, echo-laden setting that invites DJs to layer it over a variety of rhythmic backdrops. The treatment highlights the emotive weight of the lyric while maintaining an airy, open space. Following this, “Time Million (Pèpè’s Bonus Bit)” offers a brief, inventive fragment that hints at Bradock’s signature melodic twists, providing a handy tool for producers and DJs seeking a quick, atmospheric insert or a cue point for a deeper mix. For Vilja Larjos, this EP follows a modest but varied output on Running Back, including the earlier “Time Million (Remixes)” (RBFEATERRMX1) released the same day and the 2019 “Time Million (Blood Shanti Versions)” (RBFEATERDUB1) on 10-inch vinyl, which explored a reggae-inflected direction. The current release adds a minimalist, club-focused perspective to that lineage, positioning the vocal as a versatile element capable of thriving across divergent production styles. From a DJ’s perspective the record supplies three functional pieces: a Villalobos dub ready for deep, rolling sets; a vocal-centric a cappella suitable for on-the-fly mash-ups; and a concise bonus bit that can act as a transitional texture or a surprise hook. Collectors will appreciate the convergence of two seminal remixers on a single 12-inch, offering a compact yet rich snapshot of contemporary minimal house remix culture. Feater - & Vilja Larjos – Pepe Bradock Bonus Bit & Villalobos Dubs is a 12-inch vinyl released by Running Back (catalogue RBFEATERRMX2). It contains three tracks, each a reinterpretation of “Time Million” that highlights the distinct approaches of Villalobos and Bradock while preserving the original vocal’s emotive core.
