Mix: Demon - Physics Mix

His first solo 12" since starting the label two years ago, the 'Physics EP' sees Demon showcase a new maturity as he experiments across each cut with a different balance of bass, drums and midrange. Lead track 'Gravity' weighs in heavily with a soft-moulded sub lending the track's melodic drive, whilst 'Morning Glory' is a more characteristic dose of the kind of coarse mid-range upon which the label was founded. 'Molecule', meanwhile, sees the drums take the rein in driving out rolling rhythms, occasionally cut through with a clapped snare.



To support the release, the man himself hit us up with a 40 minute mix of tough material from the extended MUD family, which is available to stream and download below.

The 'Physics EP' [MUV008] will be released on the 16th of September 2013, in 12" vinyl and digital formats, and is available to pre-order now from the Macabre Unit Surus store.

Free Download: Sparxy & Fused Forces - Leviathan Remixes EP

After a somewhat overwhelming response to December's remix competition was the task of picking out a winner to be released on Bacon Dubs and a selection of runners-up to have their efforts collected on a free EP. With the original intention being to put just three entries on the free release, our final shortlist of five was proving difficult to whittle down any further and so the decision was jointly made to include four entries.

First though, is first place: Yungwanz took the 140 template and bent it to a techy drum & bass stepper, playing intricate percussion off against the original's Reese bassline to a startling effect. His remix is available to preview below, and will be included on Sparxy's next release on Bacon Dubs.

There's similar variation to be found among the runners-up too, each of whom set to take the remix stems and shape them to a new mould and mood. Feonix took the minimal approach, stripping the entire project back to its core elements of bass, space and swinging drums; Syxx, meanwhile, stepped to the other extreme and amped the entire track up with the Reese sound dominating, puckered only by latent synth plucks and a heavy snare; ARtroniks went for atmosphere and came back with plenty of it, along with meditative head-nod drums and those Reeses twisted in on themselves; of all of the entries, just1 arguably took the biggest turn left from the original tune and made of it something almost entirely new: a warm sub with dubby drums and piano and choral samples lilting throughout.
