Hypnotic Podcast - Mandarin

It's Kim Kemi's return to our label. Danish and actor of the Berlin scene, we find all his influences on his original song Sea Bass. A raw formwork title with rock, melancholic and futuristic accents reminding us of our first rave parties. And to make this release a unidentified musical object, it is not less than 5 remixers who set to work for a rendering of the most confusing. A more techno vision for Sascha Dive and Yapacc, a minimal orientation for Nicolas Duvoisin and Girgio Maulini while Mandarin brings its house touch to Sea Bass.
