Dan Curtin remixes Galcher Lustwerk on new split 12”, ‘Can’t Believe’

Mix is named after the freeway that runs through Ohio

Techno titan and Metamorphic Recordings founder Dan Curtin (pictured) has remixed Galcher Lustwerk.

Arriving after a flurry of creativity from Lustwerk – including the Information LP, ‘Proof’ EP and ‘Information (Redacted)’ LP, all released earlier this year – Curtin’s remix of ‘Can’t Believe’ now appears on a new follow-up 12” via the Ghostly label.

On ‘Can’t Believe’, Lustwerk – an outspoken critic of the music industry – channels his distaste for the rat race in favour of living his life the way he sees fit (“saw it, didn’t want it”).

With driving also being a core inspiration for his music, Lustwerk maintains that the “hypnotic activity” is an essential part of the formation of techno, and is irrevocably embedded in techno culture. 

Curtin’s ‘I-90 to Infinity’ remix channels that very same mood. Both Curtin and Lustwerk were are native to Ohio; the title of Curtin’s remix comes from the long cross-country freeway that runs through the US State. 

Curtin’s long-standing Metamorphic label has remained active since 1991, with the artist still putting out records on the imprint. Spanning represses of sought-after classics, his own productions, and new projects by up-and-comers, Curtin’s remix of ‘Can’t Believe’ signals even more activity from the label. The remix 12″ is out now.
