Photek: "Levitation" [Altered Natives Remix]

Altered Natives droppin' a gem on 'em. In his own words:

"It was a great honour to get the opportunity to remix one of my musical heroes, Photek's drum arrangements and sense of percussion always inspired me when I was younger so it only seemed right in my mind that I remixed his work in my own percussive style. I chose to follow his song's original structure as I loved the classical feel and progression of the original version plus his use of more organic sound, so I chose to rewrite using less of the original's parts instead replaying it all with sounds organic/inorganic more familiar to this end of my own production spectrum. I hope you enjoy the reworking"

Filterwolf: "Brooklyn Via Montmartre" [Altered Natives Remix]

The original mix was pretty tight but Altered Natives made a smooth ass road trip out of the motherfucker. The differences are subtle yet notable: the virtually unprocessed analog piano of the original has been compressed into a more suitable deep house thrum, the bass accentuated and the jazziness made more dancefloor friendly. Filterwolf's third LP - in a genre that almost openly disdains the long play format - is regrettably entitled Viva La Rave and there doesn't seem to be a release date, but the single is available on Beatport.
