The EBM-indebted techno funk of James Welsh’s ‘Thread’ re-emerges
from the industrial fog, evolved into three outstanding remixes by a trio of rising and established artists.
from the industrial fog, evolved into three outstanding remixes by a trio of rising and established artists.
Ozel AB delivers his debut remix, reimagining Thread to encompass a widescreen vision of depth and drama. Unfolding slowly and ethereally, with military kicks holding down a seemingly weightless, extended breakdown, his taste in dreamlike rave euphoria contains the same magic touch as it has done on previous, acclaimed releases for Workshop and Lobster Theremin.
On his ‘Garten’ remix, Radio Slave takes a percussive approach to the relatively raw electronics of the original track, adding a deceptively simple but immediately effective layer of drums to the production, before unleashing a more filtered and fucked-up interpretation of the riff to winning effect.
Finally, FC Kahuna has been off-the-map for some time, but makes a triumphant return with a distinctive, playful and digital-exclusive take on Thread that adds effective tension, whistling rave kettles and otherworldly distortion; a subtle, but masterful reimagining of Welsh's original recording.
Tracklist:
Thread (Ozel AB Remix)
Thread (Radio Slave's Garten Remix)
Thread (FC Kahuna Remix)
Thread (Original Mix)
