This is by far my favourite of the new Activ 8 mixes - nice work!

Following the summer release of the ‘Unspeakable Things / Breakable’ single, http://soundcloud.com/shadowdancerofficial return with the first of two remix EPs on http://soundcloud.com/gnd-records from some of the Farrier brothers’ favourite producers. Firstly, we present Breakable Remixes: Jokers Of The Scene open proceedings with one of their customary epic remixes which adds even more spaced out pads and plucked strings. The mysterious http://soundcloud.com/matrixxman takes things on a dubby journey into the heart of house darkness and http://soundcloud.com/jtijn strips the original to the bone for a full-on crunchy looped techno workout. We continue with Unspeakable Things Remixes next month!

ALTERN 8 // Activ 8 (Come With Me) (SHADOW DANCER Remix)*Preview* // (NETWORK, 2013)

Tracklist:
1. Radio Edit
2. The Hacker Remix
3. Vin Sol Remix
4. Posthuman Remix
5. Club Version


To prepare you for Shadow Dancer's second album 'Brothers In Arps', to be released on GND Records in September, here is their new single, a collaboration with David AKZ (Autokratz, Bad Life). First up, we have we have the radio edit of the vocal version of 'Shake', Shadow Dancer’s first ever vocal collaboration. Bad Life Records’ David AKZ provides a wonderfully spooky Gahan-esque vocal and lyric involving black hearts, despairing ‘vultures’ and voices from another land (possibly heard only within his own head). We have no idea what it means but it’s strapped on to an insistent Detroit techno hook that you won't be able to get out of your head! Next we have one of GND Records' all time favourite producers, The Hacker, who delivers a fantastic electro remix that recall Rave-era Depeche Mode and enhances the spookiness of Dave's vocal.

California's Vin Sol (Soo Wavey) delivers a bleepy hard jacking dark dub using a few key elements of the main track to devastating effect. London's Posthuman (Balkan Vinyl) change the pace with a hypnotic moody pitched down acid house vibe. Finally we have Shadow Dancer's own club version with loses the vocals completely to zero in on the insistent main riff that you won't be able to stop shaking to!

Shadow Dancer head straight to the dancefloor with ‘Strut’, a pulsating techno tune with some truly heavy throbbing bass. Deadwalkman (ACYB), the best thing to come out of Colombia since James Rodriguez, turns in a booming electro remix with a rude elastic bassline. But we haven’t finished yet! UK techno legend Mark Broom delivers not one but two different techno-flavoured interpretations: his ‘Loop’ mix is a punchy heavy dub of the original and his ‘D’ mix is a radical overhaul with some emotive Detroit pads.  We’d have been happy with one remix from Mark, so to have two amazing remixes just makes us even more excited about this release! ’Strut’ is taken from Shadow Dancer’s forthcoming album ‘Brothers In Arps’, which will be released on GND Records in September 2014.

Shadow Dancer - September 2014 Mix

Shadow Dancer, two brothers with a love of old synths (particularly ones that arpegiate) and strong coffee, have been releasing music together since 2006. After releasing their debut album ‘Golden Traxe’ on Boysnoize Records in 2009, they have gone on to release tracks on Turbo Recordings, Unknown To The Unknown, Balkan Vinyl and, of course, GND Records. We now present to you their second album: ‘Brothers in Arps’. This album is the culmination of two and a half years of work in the studio from the Farrier brothers.

The album kicks off with ‘Trust’, with sounds of FM synths slowly coming out of hibernation to a groove-laden IDM vibe. Then it’s straight into ‘Shake’, Shadow Dancer’s first ever vocal collaboration and the flyer single for the album (which came with fantastic remixes from The Hacker, Vin Sol and Posthuman). Bad Life Records’ David AKZ provides a wonderfully spooky Gahan-esque vocal and lyric involving black hearts, despairing ‘vultures’ and voices from another land (possibly heard only within his own head). We have no idea what it means but it’s strapped on to an insistent Detroit techno riff that you hopefully will be unable to stop shaking your body to. Next is ‘Manhunter’, a sleazy slice of italo-disco which constantly mutates with increasing intensity until it drags you back to it’s catchy main theme. A track from last year’s ‘Hydrate’ EP (released on Unknown To The Unknown) follows: ‘MATTA’ is an addictive bit of acid with a vocal nagging about ‘matter…energy…dimension…or time’. It appears here in an exclusive remixed form. Then comes ‘Help Center’ a reflective piece of electronica with eerie arpeggiating synths and warm bass. ‘Strut’ follows, a storming, throbbing techno track, which will appear as a single later in the year with remixes. The first half of the album is rounded of by ‘The Light’ a beautiful ambient interlude that recalls Angelo Badalamenti and which demonstrates Shadow Dancer’s versatility and the sheer range of influences that went into making this album.

The second half kicks off with ‘Hydrate’, a jacking house track which was the lead track from last year’s UTTU EP which was first premiered by Mixmag last September and has been Shadow Dancer’s biggest track of the last year. This is an exclusive extended version. Next is ‘Black Fox’, a very melodic slice of old school techno, which recalls early Inner City as well as Shadow Dancer’s own ‘Second City’ track from 2012. Then comes ‘Breakable’, a mutant funk track that was released on GND last summer and was remixed by Matrixxman, Jokers of the Scene and J.Tijn.

‘Haunted’ follows, a spooky hybrid of garage and techno with wailing vocals. ‘Unspeakable Things’ is next. Originally released on GND last summer, an electro track for contortionist head-spinners, with a vocal reminiscing about doing “all sorts of unspeakable things on the dancefloor’. This was recently remixed to great effect by Paul Mac, Dave Tarrida and joeFarr. ‘Racine’ is a track that Shadow Dancer have been playing to devastating effect in their DJ sets for the past few years and has remained anonymous…until now - a frantic mix of cut up vocals and disco hooks. ‘Supertoys’ rounds of ‘Brothers in Arps’, a wistful piece of electronica to take you off somewhere special.
