After a fifteen-month-break the figure label resumes its activities. having released a couple of eps by label owner len faki, the artist roster will now be extended. for the remix ep of the successfull "my black sheep", figure has signed up brillant musicans with a similarly deep and far reaching musical blackground: matt edwards aka radio slave aka rekid and faki’s fellow berghain resident luke slater. the original track roots contemporary sophisticated techno into his musical experience which reaches back to the nineties. the beats are delivered with understatement, the basslines spread out over the dancefloor like a flood. edwards immerses into the dark and demanding sounds of the original and develops an irresistably cool house groove. sounds are delivered in an immediate und surprising fashion that reminds of chicago house in its most exciting moments. this remix slips self-evidently into any techno or house set you can imagine. in his “l.b. dub corp” mix, luke slater comes up with surprisingly loose house groove: the beats are laid back and funky at the same time, while the highly concentrated basslines hypnotise the crowd. it is beyond comprehension how effortlessly slater manages to maintain the tracks tension. figure 007: a record with two remixes that soak the energy of faki’s music and meld it lovingly into something new.
