Section's 3rd remix ep of 2011 brings fresh interpretations of the classic Tripswitch cut “Collider”, originally released on the “Illuminations” compilation on Youth's Liquid Sound label in 2006. A fat breaks track peppered with tribal percussion, violin & Sasha-esque synths, the track was an instant hit with those in the know, & Section is happy to be able to answer 4 years of requests for a single release with a remastered version & an awesome package of re-licks from another dream list of producers. With the last two remix eps from Section gaining support from Orbital, Groove Armada, Mumdance, Matt Darey, Soundprank, Kiss FM & Ninja Tunes Black Steel, & great reviews in Mixmag, iDJ & Tillate, this next instalment hits the spot once again & promises to be one of the must-have eps of the summer.
The mixes
Godfather of progressive house Nick Warren delivers an exquisitely-produced groover for mix 1, that's so hypnotic it leaves you wondering what planet you've been on for the past 9 minutes! New Zealand masters of minimal Fiord bring us a deep, rolling, groovy-ass tech-house workout for mix 2, while Section favourite Aurtas turns the mood on its head with an upbeat, strictly house rework with lashings of melody & good vibes injected around the original elements for the third mix. Richard Kegg aka Purple pulls the track back to its moody roots with a psychedelic growler that twists the original sounds in brutal ways, creating a glitched-up tech-trance belter of supreme quality, and for mix 5 Seb Taylor (Shakta, Digitalis, Kaya Project, Hibernation) gives Section one of the rare & sought-after productions under his tech-house alias 'Biotone'. Closing the ep, label boss Nick Brennan provides another Codemonkey re-rub, delivering a super-deep dubstep version that's more spacious than an estate agent's imagination!
A welcome single release for the much-loved Tripswitch track “Collider”, a fat slab of breaks spiced up with Sasha-esque synths, violin and tribal percussion. Remastered and remixed by an inspired choice of producers including Nick Warren, Fiord, Purple, Aurtas, Biotone and Codemonkey taking you through several shades of house, trance and dubstep.
Flush with lounge-ready arrangements and balmy, mid-tempo electronic grooves, Tom Lown's second studio album is pure Balearic bliss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 17, 2022
