exzellente kollaboration der chicagoer produzentin kate simko (traum, ghostly international, hello repeat) mit dem ausschliesslich weiblichen streich-ensemble london electronic orchestra, das in einer traumhaften fusion aus klassik und electronica mündet. interpretationen von schubert, the xx und parra for cuva treffen auf orientalische melodien, regenwald-samples, philip glass-minimalismus und klassische 808 drum-beats. als gäste dabei sind popsängerin katy b und der britische house-dj jamie jones

following the recent release of so low, a compilation of early ‘80s synth, industrial and cold wave classics and undiscovered gems curated by optimo’s jd twitch aka keith mcivor, the vinyl factory are set to release specially commissioned remixes of two tracks on the 16-track compilation by rising uk producer powell and hamburg’s helena hauff. powell’s pneumatic sound is perfectly suited to ‘49 second romance’ by german minimalists p1/e, which he deftly deconstructs, while hauff adds glistening synths to belgian electro-industrial group the klinik’s ‘moving hands’ for a driving, nocturnal version.
