Limited 12" EP: Translucent Vinyl
More Info
Following an exciting end to 2020, which saw them sign to Houndstooth, release a blistering single ‘Deadlock’ and named in the NME 100 for 2021, SCALPING released their first full body of work, ‘FLOOD’ EP, and now this, ‘FLOOD REMIXED’, six remixes available on translucent vinyl.
‘FLOOD REMIXED’ continues the band’s stellar trajectory. Over the past few years, they have become an unmissable live act and gained notoriety as one of the essential, electrifying new bands in the UK.
Scottish post-rock icons Mogwai step up to remix ‘Cloud Burst’. Stretching and expanding the track, creating new drum patterns, and continually ratcheting up the drama inherent in the original; a naturally sensational slab of post-rock.
Fellow Bristolian, Hodge remixes ‘Monolithium’, a hybrid of hefty bass, tribal techno and sophisticated, polyrhythmic drum interplay.
The pre-eminent genius, multi-instrumentalist and composer Laurel Halo supplies a remix of ‘Deadlock’, a single originally released in 2020. Laurel’s slick addition of a tight 808 groove underneath the bombast subtly tweaks the atmosphere, creating a juxtaposition of futuristic club and rock with vintage electro.
Tokyo-born, Beijing-raised, London-based producer and DJ object blue’s remix is a typically high-calibre experimental club cut, which puts the propulsive drum beat front-and-centre underneath every whispered vocal.
‘Empty Cascade’, remixed by the rising producer Azu Tiwaline, leaves almost no elements of the original untouched, creating a blissful and complex dub percussive driven ecosphere almost unrecognisable from the source material.
Aphex Twin favourites, AQXDM, deliver a raucous, rambunctious flip of the single ‘Deadlock’. Packed full of blown-out breaks, maximalist bass shots, icy synths, and cascading trance fragments; perfectly excavating the elemental rave substance at the core of SCALPING’s music.
