If you missed the original Secret Circuit album (“Green Mirror” 2xLP) which came out last year, it’s been lauded as Eddie Ruscha’s finest work and has been one of the label’s best sellers (and some even saying the label’s “best release”).
To mark a year since its release 4 remixers were asked to re-interpret tracks from the album. As one would expect with original source material that ranges from minimal and space-y tech to properly drifting ambience, the pool of remixers (and the resultant remixes) are equally diverse.
First up is Glasgow-based tropical traveller Kusht who turns the album’s opening track “Undenying” into a trippy slo-mo chugfest. This is followed by Khidja’s Andrei Rusu who takes on “Light On The Sand” which comes out transformed into a polyrhythmic Steve Reich-ian epic of stuttering synths and tuned percussion. The Froid Dub remix is as dubby and lo-fi as you’d expect from these two French dub-wave geniuses…and closing up is veteran Switzerland-based experimentalist Michal Turtle whose version takes things in a strange but familiarly emotive direction.
Suffice to say, we love them all and hope you do too!
