This latest instalment in an impressive run of EPs sees Chris Colburn drop one more classic sounding cuts, Wide Awake (jacking, Detroit-inspired minimalism). Having asked to remix >Wide Awake< after receiving the track directly from Chris, Rebekah showed just how much she liked the track by delivering two remixes. Her Fully Awake remix is typical of the no-nonsense heads-down style that has earned Rebekahs previous work plaudits from Adam Beyer and Chris Leibing, while the Half Asleep mix reworks the original stab pattern to deep hypnotic effect.
Under the stewardship of Alan Fitzpatrick, 8 Sided Dice Recordings continues to maintain its reputation as one of the most consistent techno labels via a steady stream of well-received releases. The label operates as both a home for high profile artists and an outlet for emerging talent; striking a balance between output from Fitzpatrick and his contemporaries including contributions from Rich Jones, Chris Colburn, ON/OFF, Harvey McKay, Hans Bouffmyhre and Nicole Moudaber. Established in 2008 as a vehicle for Alan Fitzpatrick to release his own music, 8 Sided Dice has evolved on an impressive trajectory in line with Fitzpatrickʼs own career. Recognised as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from UK in recent times, Fitzpatrickʼs brand of infectious, modern techno has propelled him towards the upper echelons of the scene and has encouraged an impressive mixture of established and new talent gravitate towards 8 Sided Dice as a label. A permanent fixture on 8 Sided Dice in the last 18 months, Chris Colburnʼs abrasive techno has made a big impact on Alan Fitzpatrickʼs label.
