rsi is a new label affiliated to the tusk wax empire, and for their first release they look to the unexpected choice of the posthuman duo of rich bevan and josh doherty. hecatism sees the pair wander into deeper corners than their music is usually known for, trading electro breakbeats for a mid tempo production filled with resonant textures and vocal chunks that could nominally be described as house, while helioshock sees them break out the 303 for some heady acid grooves. the remixes of the title track come expertly chosen also, with disco bloodbath resident damon martin taking the track even deeper into something approaching balearic groove, and pork intl, who adds a distinctly more interstellar flavour to the original with its danny wolfers-style analogue house chords.

the second track on the ep is a wonderful remix by burak sar aka sis, who recently released his second album *confidance* on his label cocolino. the sis remix stays close to the original track, but reduces the spherical sounds and puts a greater focus on the basses, resulting in a great piece with a lot of deepness. nice!
