Salon Des Amateurs Remix EP 1 vinyl

Fat Cat usher in the first of two Hauschka-gets-the-remix-treatment EPs that precede an autumn release of a full album's worth of remixes based around the German producer's acclaimed 2011 LP Salon des Amateurs. On the basis of the artists chosen here, Fat Cat are preparing to unleash a real gem of a remix project, with Ricardo Villalobos once again collaborating on a remix, as "A Cube" is transformed into a typically abstract minimalist composition that dissects the orchestral elements of Hauschka's production into mere shards that sit in the backdrop of a spritely little groove. Complementing this, Kompakt boss Michael Mayer comes through with an excellently paced remix of "Radar" which seemingly takes a glorious age to fully blossom but sounds so melodically enriching when it does.
