Berlin-based record label Woodland Creatures return with a sprawling remix compilation, ‘Rising Despite Circumstances: Remixed’, curated by London-based producer Adam Gillett.
Revisiting Gillett’s recent long-player, a time capsule filled with the deconstructed breaks and UK house stompers. The compilation enlists a diverse cast of producer including Brooklyn-based Luko M, the ever-evolving Grant Deane, SP404 innovator King Grump, Ducks!,German producer Timo Maas and Special Zip.
Our standout remix is Benito‘s version of ‘Like An Animal’. A downtempo voyage into dream house, space-echoed frequencies with dubbed-out drums. From the second minute, the remix spirals into a soft cyclone of memory triggered by a hypnosis of chord progressions, floating like a cumulus cloud.
‘Rising Despite Circumstances: Remixed’ is scheduled for release on 8 August via Woodland Creatures Records. Order a copy from Juno.
