This week, it’s 5 years ago that my Lawaai Remix EP was released on Dark Descent!
Lawaai was originally a (heavily distorted) underground track from my 2nd release on Neophyte’s Symp.tom label in 2005, which got a good amount of DJ-support.. even on a few cyber gothic parties!
One of my heroes & friends Embrionyc badly wanted to remix it, and did so on his 2013 album “Not Quite Forgotten”. A few years later, I thought it might be interesting to do an entire remix EP and asked my Symp.tom buddies Mute. and The Relic for additional remixes, as well as one by Demanufacturer. Meanwhile, Embrionyc made a 2nd remix that was heavily experimental, and to put the finishing touch on the project I also made a remix of my own as well as a proper full stereo remaster (my original version had mono distortion due to the limitations of a plugin I used at the time).
Unfortunately, Demanufacturer couldn’t make the deadline in time, so his remix was postponed to be released on my Turmoil EP on the Belgian Traumatic label in 2020.
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of this EP, I’ve put it on my own Bandcamp with a nice discount for the people who don’t have it yet. This complete edition includes two extra bonus tracks; Demanufacturer’s remix and a DJ-friendly (and slightly extended) edit of Embrionyc’s remix that I used in my own DJ-sets. This one can be downloaded for free. Enjoy!
