Andrez Bergen (a.k.a. Little Nobody) has said that he first stumbled across James Ruskin and Justin Berkovi around the same time. He picked up Ruskins 'Prelude' EP on the mans label Blueprint and Berkovis 'Crouton' from Mosquito, and both records became pivotal parts of Bergens DJ sets and radio show back in Melbourne just over a decade ago. Apparently theyve also never left his record crate.
Hes been a huge fan of both producers since, keeping an eye on their stylistic tangents as much as hes followed up on their releases through other labels like Tresor, Pro-Jex, Sativae, Neue Heimat, Meta, and Berkovis own Predicaments.
So when Elektrax got together with Bergens label IF? to create a new vinyl release of remixes of the sublime Little Nobody track 'Metropolis How? - as the debut showing for our brand new side-label Gynoid - we couldnt think of two better practitioners to suit the moment... along with, of course, another canny remixer in the guise of Elektraxs main-man, DJ Hi-Shock.
The resulting 12-inch is nothing short of revelatory.
All three artists have hear picked up on the slow, grubby, vaguely distorted acid slant of the original track and made the journeys conjured up their completely own entities.
