After two impressive remix EPs taken from Ellen Allien’s seventh studio album, ‘Nost’, BPitch Control unveil round three with another heavyweight lineup of contributors coming out on 23rd February.
This time around we’re honoured to have Alan Oldham, Eomac, Amotik and XDB volunteering their services to bring a whole new dimension to the music from ‘Nost’. Each of the four artists has earned a sterling reputation, with a style all of their own.
The RMXS 3 opens with Alan Oldham let loose on ‘Jack My Ass’, pumping it full of energy and jackin’ beats. A hypnotic riff keeps you locked in throughout, while Alan maintains a minimalistic approach giving the track maximum impact with minimum components.
Next up is Eomac’s dour version of ‘Mind Journey’, where the vocal from the original is so distorted and warped it’s almost unrecognisable. Amotik follows up with his own twist on ‘Mind Journey’, this one a little more frenetic and energised than Eomac’s rework.
Lastly, ‘Call Me’ is put through XDB’s filter, with softened pads and a rolling groove keeping you engaged from start to finish. The beats are crisp, the top end full of soul and the bassline utterly irresistible. There you have it… another inspired collection of remixes from Ellen’s excellent album, four more killer tracks that should be in every techno enthusiast’s record box.
