(Bedrock) BEDSVRMX2
Release: 20th January 2014

From ambient soundscapes, down-tempo vocal tracks and slo-mo house, through to deliciously deep experiments, firing tech-house and acid grooves, “It Is What It Is”, the supremely exciting double-disc debut artist album from Stelios Vassiloudis, was released on Bedrock at the tail end of 2011. Then, at the height of summer 2012, came the first of a planned series of album remix packages featuring interpretations from some of the most exciting producers from around the world, fittingly titled “It Was What It Was”. Now, at the start of 2014, comes the next highly anticipated, super-exciting selection of remixes.

The original album is rich with the many vocal talents it hosts, one of the most glorious contributions coming from Astrid Suryanto on “Feed”, giving Russ Gabriel (whose name has been synonymous with UK Techno since 1993) the perfect backdrop to create an absolutely beautiful, fresh interpretation. The brilliant One Of Them (aka New York based Niko Dalagelis) continues with the beauty theme, taking the vocal contribution of Japan’s Tomomi Ukomori on “Green Is Blue” into a deeply chilled house excursion, whilst the Japanese music master, Satoshi Tomiie, interprets things a more upbeat manner that is equally enthralling for his remix.

Guy J’s work is always touched with a magic and emotion that few rival and his remix of “I Burn Like” is yet another example of why his productions are so special. This time the distinctive original vocals of Darren Murphy are meshed into a deeply hypnotic journey. In contrast, Wiretappeur (the production partnership between Florian Kruse, Nils Nurnberg and Stelios himself) turn “I Burn Like” into a seductive slo-mo vocal house masterpiece.

Dieb Audio’s John Dalagelis (brother of the aforementioned Niko) was heavily involved in the original album project and returns here with a delightfully adventurous, jazz-influenced, widescreen techno take on “Repetition”. The superb selection of creative remixes is brought to a finale with India’s Arjun Vagale joining forces with Spain’s Ramiro Lopez to put together a frenetic percussive acid interpretation of “What's That” (odd one out here as the original track first appeared on the Bedrock 14 compilation album).

Anyone open to the emotions on display here really should check out “It Is What It Is”, the original debut artist album by Stelios Vassiloudis, as it is much more than a collection of great tracks. It’s an exceptionally exciting, bold and brave body of music that defiantly stands the test of time, beyond fickle trends and fashions, and remains a benchmark release from Bedrock to this day.

The original is by two very young and talented Medellin-based producers who I'd had my eye on for years. We later connected and they started to send me quite a lot of demos and this one stood out the most. It was just one of those tracks that harked back to the old Tenaglia marathon sets that I'd loved so much, especially the stream-of-consciousness pitched down spoken vox. And I loved the tense, hi-pitched string in the background and the moody deep stabs. I wasn't even sure that I'd sign it as my release schedule was already quite full but every time I'd play it out I'd think about doing a remix as I felt that I could do some sort of driving, epic, alternate version. As I recall it was one of those remixes that was FUN to work on because the original parts were so great. I'm quite happy with the mix I did, especially the long, drawn out intro. And I think that it helped the boys gain some more exposure.

With over 200 tracks and remixes to his name David Herrero is a prolific and widely supported producer. His blend of organic, deep and tribally grooves has seen him feature in the sets of Hawtin, Carola, Dice and of course, SCI+TEC boss, Dubfire. 

Today David lets us in on his ‘Secrets’. A brace of new tracks that showcase the not-so-secretive talents of the man from Asturias. The title track hypnotises with its metronomic beats and spoken-word vocal. The warm, solid bounce to its groove make it a perfect floor warmer. 

On the flip ’Never Fall’ continues in much the same vein, with its laid-back groove and feisty breakdown, its another strong addition to David’s already glittering playlist. Both tracks are accompanied by exclusive SCI+TEC DJ Tools to complete the Secrets package.

Don’t be fooled by the ominous title, it’s a family affair this one! Simina Grigoriu teams up with sibling Moe Danger and life partner Paul Kalkbrenner on the Shark Island EP, with K-Paul on remix duties and a special appearance by the label’s youngest member, Paul & Simina’s daughter.

The title track sets the tone with throaty vocal chops that add mystery to its clacking percussion and devilish synth lead. The effect is an intense build up, with the tension gradually released in the second half, by the way of dreamy synth arpeggios that lighten up the overall mood.
Kalkbrenner applies a staccato feel that tilts towards a more bouncy version of the original. Giving the track new life through a novel melody, it evolves into a deeply affecting piece, as its pulsating rhythm keeps the energy at a constant high.
You might know K-Paul as the electrifying half of the 90’s dance duo Lexy & K-Paul, a trait that applies to his production style, as well as in his remixing effort for Shark Island. With a more enigmatic, hyper-gradual release technique, this particular remix unveils jarring electro synths with brooding countermelodies.
