Skudge (remixes) Part 6 vinyl

The boys over at Skudge Records present the sixth instalment of their luxurious line of remix EPs. This time it's techno king Marcel Dettmann who reshapes "Man On Wire" with two suave remixes of the original, followed by another reinterpretation from German mystery man, Answer Code Request. Both of the Dettmann retakes share an interesting subtlety which exposes yet more skills by the Berghain resident, with the first being a dub-filtered techno excursion complete with soothing pads and a grainy, progressive layout of snares and hi-hats. For his second piece, Marcel injects a heftier bassline which squelches and mutates its way through a skippy percussion with almost sub aquatic effect. We have a completely different vibe on the B side, as Answer Code Request creates an irresistibly catchy breakbeat, which transports a myriad of menacing sub bass infusions, sharp percussions and raved-out synths, making his voice the louder of the two for this release.
