Millimetrik - Influences; The Remix EP

Pascal Asselin has been knocking about for a while under various guises but perhaps he's most famously known for his work as Millimetrik especially after two top albums on Make Mine Music. Here sees 4 of his tracks refixed (and destroyed!) by a number of folks like Stafraenn Hakon, Komparce, E10000 and Maxime Tobin. Not really household names aside from Hakon but it's a solid EP. The opener sees Staefraenn Hakon destroying (quoting the inside of the CD here) Outhouse/ I Wish You Will Never Leave. I've not really heard any shoegazey indie electronica in a while and it's kind of nice to hear it again. It's done amazingly well and fans of mid period Epic 45 will lap this track up! The Komparce mix is a kind of hazy sounding shoegaze chill fest with lazy sounding hip-hop beats. Nice! The E1000 mix is a well banging speeded up dubstep affair and the last mix by Maxime Robin again goes down the electronics/ hip-hop route with it sounding a bit like Wagon Christ or something. All 4 mixes are very different but the EP gels well. Limited to not very many copies on the Sound In Silence label who released the Absent without Leave album!
