Cadenza’s new release ‘SeventyNine Remixes’ is a techno fans wet dream – Chilean masters Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have contributed remixes of ‘Tahktok’, taken from Mirko Loco’s recent album. Detroit legend Carl Craig has penned a remix of ‘Love Harmonic’.

Ricardo’s 20 minute minimal take of ‘Tahktok’ is suitably epic, with scatty layers of machine funk and broken beats layered beneath the vocals of children singing.

Luciano’s remix is more uptempo, reworking the vocal into a hypnotic chant that’s driven forward by aggressive bleeps and minimal drums, that notably lack any of the Cadenza bosses trademark bongo loops.

Carl Craig’s Soundscape Remix of ‘Love Harmonic’ sees the techno master return to organic drum patterns, that contrast beautifully with the trance-like sounds of the main riff. Anticipation in a can.
