Lost In The Instability (remixes) – Midgar 02 X

Italy’s Ruhig, otherwise known as Luigi Cicchella, put out his first EP last year via his own Midgar imprint, an offshoot of parent label Natch Records. The Lost In The Instability EP featured five cuts of raw, sparse and forward-looking techno for the off-piste moments, a release which sees a good makeover by four remixes herein. First up is the might Edit Select (Prologue, Ostgut Ton), who rewires the title track into a bleeping, off-the-wall piledriver with plenty of grizzly ambience and squelching bottom ends, followed by Natch Records casual Synthek and his dreamy rework of «Nibelheim». The B-side contains a remix of «Alba» by the young Luigi Tozzi, another fine slice of techno hypnotics for the floor, and Japan’s Wata Igarashi’s dubby take on «Pulse Width». All in all, a quality episode of ethereal club music.
