* a) Emily’s Smile (Sigha Remix)
South London based Sigha is building up a steady stream of quality releases for Scuba’s Hotflush label. Although the
label is better known for its dubstep output, Sigha’s take on techno is, for us, the most exciting stuff to come through on
the label. The original track is more reminiscent of mid-90s “intelligentí d’n’b”, but Sigha has turned it into a slow burning
dub techno affair.
* b) Satellite Type 2 (Marcel Dettmann Remix)
In the last few years, Marcel Dettmann has been pivotal in bringing through a new techno sound that almost seems like a
backlash against the hugely popular yet largely stagnant minimal style. Taking influence from second-wave Detroit
techno such as Robert Hood or Underground Resistance, Birmingham based artists like Surgeon or the whole late 90s
Berlin and Rotterdam scenes, his music is a real breath of fresh air as far were concerned. Our original version on
Satellite Type 2 was heavily influenced by techno and he was the perfect candidate to remix this.
* c) Strictly (Kassem Mosse Remix)
The original Strictly was very much a homage to early 90’s British electronica like Black Dog, and early house music on
labels like Strictly Rhythm. Over the last couple of years Kassem Mosse has really stood out with his lo-fi gritty and slow
house and techno so seemed the perfect choice.
* d) Spectacle (Two Armadillos Remix)
The original was one of our early attempts at doing deep house music in the same vein as artists like Moodymann, Pepe
Braddock or Ron Trent. So when the idea of getting these guys to do their version came up it seemed perfect. As well as
Giles Smith running one of the most successful underground house nights in London and beyond, his Two Armadillos
project with producer Martin Dawson has produced some really interesting stuff over the last few years.
