Function 4 Remixes: Episode 2 vinyl

Mote Evolver return with another salvo of reworks from three of techno's biggest names, following last year's remixes of Planetary Assault Systems' massive "Function 4" from Marcel Dettmann and Chris Liebling. Dettmann returns for more with a "Base dub" remix which is a more stripped back affair than his more full bodied first attempt, concentrating instead on subtle rhythmic nuances. Stroboscopic Artefacts' Lucy provides two remixes - one utilising a minimal breakbeat over shrill pads, and one that piles on the atmosphere with its swathes of reverb. Our pick however is Shifted's slickly executed revision, with a rolling rhythm that's packed densely around abstract tones.
