The Blue Hour (Valentino Mora Cosmic Trans Rephase) The next move from Artefakt and Delsin is a selection of their label back catalog remixed by four producers that can’t do no wrong in modern techno days. The artists they chose are all debutants on the label where it feels like a perfect fit. It resulted in a collection of involving drum grooves, hypnotic loops, smoky dub techno and cinematic ambient. Forest Drive West is up first, coming off the back of a fantastic album on Livity Sound that showcased his hi fidelity take on bass, jungle and techno. Here he flips 'The Fifth Planet' into eight broody minutes of involving drum programming and groaning synth drones. A subtly uplifting tune thanks to the gorgeous pads in the background, but real bass heavy system music when it comes to the dance floors. Swedish producer Evigt Mörker turns 'The Fifth Planet' into an utterly hypnotic, rolling, lumpy kick drum workout that pulls you into a state of techno meditation. Paris deep techno stars Polar Inertia then remix 'Tapeloop' into a cavernous world of smoky dub techno. The vast emptiness sucks you in and the deft sound designs make for atmospheric, cinematic additions to this mental trip. Closing is Spazio Disponibile artist Valentino Mora, whose slowly unfolding odyssey is built on gentle hand drums and spooky pads and take you deep into some oceanic abyss.
