Last week level6 was released:
Level Records’ first release, Quartett EP, opened up with “Millepieds” by Oliver Hacke. The sixth
release on Level now sports five Artists who use their individual techniques and remix approaches on
Hacke’s acclaimed track.
On A1, Slg extracts an incredible funkyness from the original material that
won’t leave anybody unmoved. Although its sounds are all based on the original, Slg’s approach
is very different yet funky as hell and deep at the same time. People who already know his EP on
Level might be reminded of his highly regarded „Anymore“-Track which features a similar kind of
bassline.
A2 by the Mexican artist Fax is a very surprising remix. It starts off with very grounded groovy loops
with a quite solid feel, sustaining in a traditional micro-house manner until unexpectedly, beautifullymodulated,
dreamy chords emerge from the solid base groove. Surprises like this make many of
Fax’ tracks so special.
Side B starts with labelhead Daniel Fritschi who creates a track which does only loosely refer to
his previous releases. Daniel picks up the slightly dark mood of the original, develops it to a nicely
grounded sequence and garnishes it with a grooving bassline plus dubs.
Anders Ilars remix can be regarded as an appetizer for his forthcoming EP on Level. He builds up
a dense and beautiful athmosphere which feels like wide spaces, populated by millions of gentle
clicks, all kept together by the warm and dominant bassline of the Millepieds original.
The final track by Jeff Milligan is a more free interpretation of the original, focused on the dominant,
beautiful warm chords, sparkling beats and hihats cutting sharp like scalpels.
