Bleep

Glitch and dub techno pioneer Pole closes the book on last year’s tremendous Tempus LP with a tidy remix package 12” for Mute. Known for his adventurous ear as a listener, DJ, and producer, this slate of remixes naturally favours abstraction and pure musical exploration over cohesion or dancefloor functionality, and is all the better for it. Sleaford Mods take ‘Stechmück’ somewhere between queasy downtempo industrial and dub and Rrose weaves a cavernous yet taught techno rework of their own while Alessandro Cortini makes a minor minimal masterpiece out of the title track.
