Bleep

Ben Frost follows the wonderful A U R O R A album with V A R I A N T, an EP of remixes from some true visionaries. Evian Christ turns in his own brand of devilish trap, twisting 'Venter' into a metallic nightmare jam. Dutch E Germ, aka former Gang Gang Dance drummer Tim DeWit, fashions a sea of noise and shifting sound patterns from the track, while with the moody delights of HTRK take it into somber late-night mode. The B-side is taken up of two different tracks, the first a remix of 'No Sorrowing' from Kangding Ray, whose take is a gurgling body of body techno. 'Nolan' gets a Self Medicating Edit from Regis, a deep and lustrous vision of ice and storm.
