Subject To Restrictions Discs レコード& CD

Review: In April 2023, Swiss label Subject To Restrictions Discs offered up a fine debut EP from Zurich electronic wave duo Dadalus & Bikarus. This follow-up EP presents the same tracks in freshly remixed form, with a variety of underground heroes and rising stars providing the revisions. Saeko Killy kicks things off with a minimalistic, subtly funky new wave rework of 'Voran', before Cage & Aviary man Jamie Paton drops versions of two tracks: a moody, slap bass-sporting dark-wave re-wire of 'Youri Gagarine', and a chugging, A Love From Out of Space style tweak of 'Gone'. Over on side B, Andrei Rusu re-imagines 'Tous Les Mesonges' as a dense, discordant slab of rolling acid-electro, while Anastasia Zems turns 'Voran' into a brain-melting acid jacker.

Review: Ethimm has asked some of his old friends and most cherished peers to remix his recent By Night Ep and the results are serious. The ever popular writer, DJ, producer and Tuning Back label boss Gerd Jansen goes first and flips 'Lies' into a deep and driving house cut with subtle melodies layered over the top. Balearic boss Lexx then does a wholesale deconstruction with his version and the Belia Winnewisser remix gets all tropical with its steamy jungle sounds and reverberating drums and bass. On the flip side, three versions of 'Don't Go Away' take in acid, dream house and real deepness.
