Ewan Pearson, Alex Smoke Rmxs! Vinly only!
Sales Information:
To mark a decade of their live techno outfit, Exercise One release a new album and series of vinyl remix EPs by friends and fellow travellers from along the road. Choosing 10 remixes for their 10 years of performing live and 9 tracks on the album for 9 years of releasing records. Electric Glare’ revs into action with a dank riff locking itself on top of a feverish bassline. After the cinematic ‘Stay’ serves as a blissful palette cleanser we’re back on the pulse with the abrasive thuds of ‘The Raven’, perhaps their most stark work to date. For the EPs, Exercise One invited some of their talented friends from along the journey to remix their favourite tracks of the duo’s back catalogue, for vinyl and digital release. EP 2 continues the overrun of talent with Ewan Pearson masterfully remixing in typically grandiose style, putting on the breaks and laying down an irresistible groove from which he tinkers with thick swathes of valve-heated melodies and bulbous bass. Alex Smoke’s charred contribution has an air of narcotic outlandishness with the swirl of Farsi poetry recorded by close Persian friends of the duo in their old flooded basement studio. And Berlin band subQ10x cover Exercise One’s very first release ‘Roll With U’, with Ingo on drums.
