mad limitado. you know the drama. spreading these out across the board as per. this limited remix 10 inch showcases a remix of break glass from l vis 1990s dance system moniker alongside a vip mix of reflection from sims. the former, featured on sims fabric comp, continues to nurture his raw, machine driven and retro leaning vibes while the theory boss turns in a dense, jacking number.

uk legends ben sims and mark broom are on remix duty for truncates first remix ep. also truncate reworks his own track concentrate on the flip side.

following his well received fabric mix comp in december 2013, ben sims returns to his own theory imprint with yet another ring release in the form of *reflection*, which features two original new tracks, a remix from rod and a vinyl exclusive. the eponymous opener is a strident, 909 + 707 driven affair that fuses overlapping, stereoscopic tones to a gently distorted and brutalist groove that sits somewhere between dance mania and detroit. *break glass* is the second original on offer and has been a heavily requested track for the past few months. the perfect partner to *reflection*, *break glass* is similarly overdriven but heavy on the sort of mechanical funk that sims does so well. rods version of *reflection* is a linear assault which ebbs and ows with purpose throughout a linear and intense arrangement while sims remix of *break glass* zeros in on bone rattling percussive aesthetics and vox samples, in much demand after featuring on his fabric mix cd.

massive reworks of this timeless classic!!

adam beyers unique vision of the afterparty uses phased percussion, tripped out drums and an ethereal like pad and melody to create a stand out remix that blends together two unique ideas momentously. ben klock steps up to take on the afterparty too with the sound ever so synonymous with him. he uses rhythmic stabs and an unusual melody that works so well within the atmospheric landscape he has created.

joseph capriatis remix of can you feel it is a funky techno track that uses stabs to really build a solid groove that will be a sure fire hit. the sandwell district remix of i feel it deep uses the original vocal in an ambient journey with pads and percussion to tell a story.
