Remix Project vinyl

Finnish duo Renaissance Man delivered one of last year's most interesting constructed albums in the shape of The Renaissance Man Project, a debut notable most for its obvious attention to sound design. Sensing there was room to explore the many layers on those twelve tracks, the duo's label Turbo are set to release an impressive looking and self explanatory Renaissance Man Remix Project CD and four of the best reimaginations feature on this 12" sampler. Any record that features the collective production talents of Dexter, Jori Hulkkonen, Joakim and Call Super is worthy of attention and each remix is quite excellent. Klakson boss Dexter takes on "Stalker Humanoid" retaining the clanging sonic textures amidst ominous dojo vibes, whilst Hulkkonen goes prog acid in the best way possible. The best is reserved for the flip as Tigersushi boss Joakim turns in a reliably mental take on "Trance Central" whilst the Berlin dwelling Call Super takes you through the murky recesses of machine funk with an equally individual "Proto Forma" take on "Vancouver".
