Release Note ......::
With the release of this set of remixes Figure head Len Faki reveals previously
unseen shades of both the source material and his own musical identity.
Produced over the course of last year and originally never intended to come
out, the Hidden Objects were to remain just that hidden from anyone but Faki
himself who was privately developing a different side of his in the studio.
This effort first lead to deliberately constructing an antipode to Slams
Cirklon Bells. Contrasting grainy distorted noise and stuttering drums against
the light and ambient melody of the original, the remix turns into a
bittersweet yet beautifully soothing listen.
Feeling inspired by this novel approach of turning a tracks atmosphere and
energy by means of opposition, Faki decided to apply it again to one of last
years biggest remixes, his own re- interpretation of Scubas Black on Black.
This time going into the opposite white direction, a more musical and melodic
side of Len Faki is allowed to shine through when big, anthemic pads hover over
a bouncy bassline and an epic breakdown gives ample room for the tracks groove
to rebuild from scratch.
Finally the newfound workflow sees Faki take on Philippe Petits Suspened off
his recent EP for Figure SPC. Building upon the originals quivering melody,
Faki injects it with serious momentum by carefully added skittering percussion
and some deeply moving bass, thus taking the already uplifting vibe even
further.
