Remix Roulette

It’s hard to know where to begin when asked which parts of Remix Roulette were standouts. When it comes to musical improvisation, riding on vocals and technique alone doesn’t always cut it, but Frisky gave us all of this and far more. 

The concept of Remix Roulette alone has us gripped. All time classics and number ones, reimagined through a totally different genre. Beginning with a wonderfully well-timed opening of chart toppers from history, delicately revamped to walk us through all genres that Frisky seems to effortlessly have down to a T. 

In the first 15 minutes, we hear a “bizkit” style (think metal rap) 2 become 1 by the Spice Girls followed by a swing version. Immediately, we are on board. Frisky isn’t asking audiences to be too generous (although she confidently cries “close enough” after some remixes). And that’s it! It isn’t “close enough”, it’s hit the nail right on the heavy-metal-head. By half way through the show, it’s clear there’s nothing this crew can’t do. 

But that doesn’t stop the audience from pushing boundaries of the relationship we now share with this mistress of mayhem for the evening. With genre suggestions ranging from electro-swing to Christmas carols, audience members are suddenly forgetful of which genre *this* show in particular sits: improv. 

And that’s the pièce de résistance. Frisky and her four piece band are so comfortably gelled, the audience have complete faith in this wonderfully charismatic leading lady and the whirlwind of talent behind her. When we finally arrive at a motivational-style version of Boney M’s Rasputin, it seems no one remembers this is being plucked from thin air, with a few side looks between the drums and piano. The band are a melting pot of musical genius simmering away, whilst the tech dazzles us and Frisky swiftly eases nerves. 

This is not one to miss.
