Over the past 15 years veteran Aussie techno man DJ Hi-Shock has constantly proved he's moving with the times - and often ahead of them.
Here he's picked a prescient, talented, respected and diverse cast of fellow practitioners to remix his landmark track 'Darkness Below'.
Japanese mover and shaker Go Hiyama (Stroboscopic Artefacts/Perc Trax) grants two diverse takes that push the metallic funk beneath the driving tech rhythms, while the Dutch wunderkind Bas Mooy (Planet Rhythm/Darknet) goes into deep, mesmerizing territory, The Blunted Boy Wonder (aka the legendary Steve Stoll) flanges and curls the beats in a relentlessly cool manner. DJ Hi-Shock then reinvents himself as Advanced Human with spaced out metallic dub, and Germany's 88uw (Synewave/Gynoid Audio) rounds off the release and goes for the jugular of a peak-time driving dancefloor.
Love the driving squelchy vibe of 88uw’s remix and Bas’ is nice, deep and dubby. Both got my vote!
