Search - Scuba :: Claustrophobia Remixes

Scuba has had a busy 2015 with nonstop international tour dates across five continents, killer output on his Hotflush label, and the March release of his own album Claustrophobia. The album was inspired in part by his first appearance at the intimate Japanese techno festival, The Labyrinth, and after returning this past September he has prepared to reveal its successor: a remix album featuring 11 new versions helmed by the likes of Len Faki, Atom TM and Audion as well as previously unreleased remixes from Function, Acid Mondays and Radio Slave. Berghain residents Len Faki and Function hone in on the brooding energy of Black On Black and Why You Feel So Low with whiplash percussion. 0 Phase, a longtime staple of the Belgian techno label Token, applies his signature immaculate precision and attention to detail to a slow-burning rework of Family Entertainment, while buoyant house up and comers Mr. Tophat & Art Alfie provide a somewhat lighter touch on their version of Drift, which reimagines a drum-free odyssey as a bright floor-filler with dusty drums. In addition to the heavy-hitters on the CD, Scuba also enlisted promising producers like Tallman 785 of Berlin and the duo Acid Mondays, both of whom provide hypnotic and thumping takes on his originals.
