Following the critically acclaimed release of their debut album Channels in March, London-based electronic duo Kassian deliver Channels: Remixed — a complete reimagination of eight tracks from the original record, revisited, deconstructed, and reassembled entirely by Warren Cummings and Joe Danvers-McCabe themselves. Out September 4th, 2025 on !K7 Records, this album presents a new lens on the tube warm, sample-based sound of Channels which among others caught the attention of the likes of Pitchfork and Mixmag and was selected for Dior’s Fall 2025 Show. Channels: Remixed dials for movement, momentum, and polyrhythmic exploration, reframing their most personal material to date with the energy of the club in mind.

Where Channels reflected Kassian’s 2019 origins as a duo with its texturised, warm sonics based on live instrumentation, field recordings and sampling, this new remix album repositions that material firmly in Kassian’s present sound world. It reconnects with the raw, barrier-breaking energy of their more recent body of work, where acid, bass, polyrhythm, breakbeat and techno drive the musical narrative. It’s a pivot from reflective storytelling to physical intensity.

Channels: Remixed transforms the album’s core ideas, placing them into a more kinetic space. Tracks are stripped down, warped, and rebuilt with a harder edge and meticulous sound design. Eight out of the original twelve tracks have been reinterpreted and designed for the club, exchanging some of the original album’s softness with skillfully crafted propulsive drums, searing basslines, chopped vocals and electro-heavy synth work.

On Spring (Club Mix) an optimistic-sounding core synth melody leads the way as groove and string elements unfold around it. Sun (Club Mix) erupts into a polyrhythmic percussion storm, while on Metro (Club Mix) chopped vocals float through the dense fabric of relentless, bouncing drums and roaring basslines. Sitting atop a steady, head-shaking breakbeat, an uncompromising, forceful bass rolls from low into high registers, beaming the listener into new spheres on Sunset Park (Club Mix). In a similar tint, Peech Blue (Club Mix) constantly plays with the liminal range between the dark and the light, flipping from the more psychedelic ends of bass music to warm, vocal-driven crests only to then drop back into the central oscillating subbass sitting underneath the 2-step beat. The energetic, forward-pushing groove on Joss Bay (Club Mix) feels like galloping along the coastline as waves hit the shore. Limoncello (Club Mix) and Mockingbirds (Club Mix) pull things back into the warmer, more playful hemisphere. Carefully interwoven pads paired with discreet synth arpeggios lay the ground for a calmer side of the remix album. Throughout their eight reinterpretations, Kassian rework not just the tracks, but the emotional framework, replacing quiet introspection with bold, body-moving statements for those healing moments on the dancefloor.

With Channels: Remixed, Kassian bridge past and present — distilling the emotional depth of their debut album into a sharper, more physical form, all while completing a conceptual loop: from early sketches developed over five years ago to a debut album that captured grief, transformation, and beauty — and now a full-body rework that points to Kassian’s continued evolution reminding listeners of their artistic versatility at the cutting edge of the UK’s electronic underground.

Originally released in 2002, 'The Red EP' was a bold fusion of techno and garage from the mind of @mrartwork. Drawing from his Grain techno project and the UKG sound he championed for years, this release laid the groundwork for what the world would soon call dubstep.

Big Apple Records now delivers a repress of the seminal EP, adding the punchy new track 'RELIC'. You'll be hearing this one all summer.

Hotflush is a record label launched by Paul Rose aka Scuba in 2003. Its early period was spent as a central part of London's Bass Music scene which exploded in the mid 2000s, although the label has always been difficult to pigeonhole musically and recent output has focused on Techno and House.
