#7 Feat. New Releases in Bass / Club

Azu Tiwaline & Cinna Peyghamy, Amotik, Quelza, and Alarico remix four tracks from Ben Klock and Fadi Mohems collaborative album Layer One. Released last year on the pairs label LAYER, each artist on the Layer One Remixes EP retains the weighty, low-end edge that shaped the album, while reinterpreting four tracks through a myriad of techno, IDM, bass, and experimental shades. Honouring the conceptual direction of Layer One, which delved into a post-human world and offered a serene reflection on a realm that continued to flourish in the absence of humanity, the Layer One Remixes EP echoes the same theme. The remaining human survivors on Earth signal a remembrance of their sensibilities, told through the powerful lyrics and vocals of grime MC Flowdan and interdisciplinary artist Coby Sey. Azu Tiwaline & Cinna Peyghamy open the EP with their remix of Our Sector featuring the commanding vocals of Flowdan. Fragmented bass-driven textures skitter across the sparse soundscape, culminating in a track primed for the weirder hours of the night. On Ultimately, Amotik delivers his take on the original featuring spoken word by Coby Sey, and whips up a rolling four-four number pierced with bleepy percussion. On the flip, Quelzas reinterpretation of Our Sector unfolds with zappy motifs and technoid flourishes, permeating the shadowy pads and spine-chilling harmonics that slink through the atmosphere. Alarico remixes Clean Slate, serving a potent techno track laced with equal parts restraint and release, enhanced by Coby Seys taut vocals. While the original album represented the more exploratory sides of Ben Klock and Fadi Mohem, the Layer One Remixes EP offers a further step into the void, led by five contemporary artists who are unafraid to delve into the murkiest corners of the dystopian world conjured up by Klock and Mohem.
