Mutations Modifications & Other Alterations – Synaptic Cliffs 19

pdqb is a producer whose name reads like a cipher and here offers eight masterful remixes that help unravel his musical code. Each track is a world of its own: rhythms twist, synths vaporise and melodies mutate into alien shapes. From super funky Hardfloor reworks to rugged downbeat reconstructions like ‘Sycorax (DJ Di’jital remix)’ the originals are dismantled and rebuilt as the faint heartbeat of pdqb’s signature warmth remains buried within. Electro heads will fawn over the cinematic journeying of ‘Verquerer Weise’ as reworked by Lloyd Stellar and Electro Nation shows a darker and more unsettling style on their snappy, breaks driven take on ‘Pseudoliparis Swirei’.
