Centered on Germany's 50WEAPONS, and with the recent smash "In Brackets" released via Bristol's Black Acre and NYC's Mister Saturday Night still fresh in memory, the new record from mechanically minded London electronic trio DARK SKY features astonishing, monochrome yet lustrous remixes from a stellar pair: Trevino and Marcel Dettmann.
Released on MONKEYTOWN, the parent label of 50WEAPONS. Beyond the pale allure of the original vocal track A1 "rainkist (original version)" (sample3) — what you might call aesthete soulful techno — there's A2 "rainkist (Trevino's Heartbeat remix)" (sample1), a fine rework in which sci-fi synths and an electro-minimal groove seem to gently warp the timeline, plus B1 "rainkist (Marcel Dettmann remix)" (sample2), a grand, supremely elegant techno-and-soul remix from the much-talked-about Marcel Dettmann that's already being hailed as one of the best remix jobs of 2014. Issued on heavyweight vinyl with great sound quality, high volume, and pleasing stability.
