    NEW RELEASE ON FALK RECORDINGS - BENEATH THE REMIXES (August 8)

    A bit slow putting this one up on the site, but better late than never.

    Our first album, Beneath the Grain was released earlier this year and from the date we put it out we had talked about putting together a collection of remixes to follow it. We got in touch with some artist that interested us and compiled four fantastic remixes of tracks taken from the full length.

    Falk Recordings was gracious enough to release the EP (for free). The EP features Chord, Sinusstoev, Lokua and Nadia Popoff delivering remixes ranging from tech-house, through techno and dub-techno, finally resting with some atmospheric broken beats.
