A1 - Analog (Johannes Volk remix)

B1 - Analog (XDB reshaped)

B2 - Analog (Beatless dub)


After receiving such a warm reception from those around the world who appreciate timeless electronic sounds, it was only fitting that Patrice Scott’s “Analog Dreams” would eventually rise again, refreshed, in the form of a remix project. Knowing the mixes had to be special while maintaining the authenticity of the original, Patrice tapped two of the worlds finest electronic craftsmen for the honor, both hailing from Germany – XDB and Johannes Volk. These talented artists bring forth just enough vibe from the original mix and offer their own unique interpretations, which are sure to delight those with a tasteful ear.

A1 – Johannes Volk Remix A hypnotic, slow builder which utilizes key elements of the original whilst injecting dubby stabs and deep tones, this is the kind of hypnotic groove we love here at Sistrum – simple, effective and layered with lovely textures for the body and the mind. But don’t be fooled – there’s a stiff kick and a bubbly bass pulse backing things up and making this a one of a kind, deep dancefloor delight. Many thanks to Johannes for delivering this one, as only he can.

B1 – XDB Reshape XDB brings lush synthscapes to the forefront as classic percussion patterns emerge to give just enough shuffle and shake. Resonant synth bass stabs accentuate the groove even further and analog strings soar above, providing more layers of melodic texture. In keeping with the tone of the original, XDB’s mix is meaningful both on the dancefloor and in your living room. Play it loud, play it soft, there are details to be enjoyed in this excellent re-interpretation. Quality, period.

B2 – P. Scott Beatless Dub Rounding out the EP, Patrice offers up a fine and fitting closing statement in the form of his “Beatless Dub,” stripping away the kick drum and letting the rest of the sounds work their magic. Beautiful, haunting and hypnotic, this one is strictly for the mind. Relax, close your eyes and be soothed.
