After a long break, Tympanum Records is back with a remix pack for the seminal collaborative EP between EAS and Garrett Hunter, “Bored Machine”. With a wide array of stylizations being depicted, and with a bevy of remarkable talent, this compilation is not one to miss for any Techno enthusiast.
We start with Ascetic Limited boss and dear friend of Tympanum Records, Secus. This rendition of ‘A Trial’ features dark grooves, foreboding soundscapes, and a hypnotic energy. A wonderfully atmospheric remix, an interesting juxtaposition to the original’s slamming, distorted, synthesized Berliner ideals.
Next up is a slamming rearrangement of ‘A Trial’ from the UK living legend himself, Perc. This remix from the Perctrax bossman contains saturated madness, piercing snares, blistering highs, cathartic groove building, and an unrelenting energy sure to destroy dancefloors.
From there, we 180 back to the dark stylizations of Tympanum co-owner, Josh Sturges. His take on the titular ‘Bored Machine’ is a plunge into broken-beat, synyster machinery, with trance-inducing, yet gut-punching percussion, vocal repetition, and chilling ambience.
The collection is concluded with a wild, Hardcore take on ‘Bored Machine’ by Crisis Of Man label boss and fast rising SoCal talent, Selective Response. His remix is a nod to the Gabber style, breakneck speed, devil may care attitude, hammering kick drums, and distorted, crunched haymakers of pure percussive power.
The ‘Bored Machine Remixed’ EP is an unrelenting, emphatic compilation of a variety of styles, all done with true mastery. It’s a pack sure to spark the excitement of any underground rave, and many dancefloors to come.
