Rounding off Buran's latest EP, ITI are hyped to have the mighty Void Complet on remix duties. Fresh off the back of his
breakthrough release on CHOBU Records, London based super producer Chog Burley takes Alnitak and reimagines it in his own image. Launching with a rich, metallic arpeggio, we’re drawn into an analogue dream, before realising that’s all a ruse. We have been lulled into a false sense of security, because we’re about to be clattered around the head by that savage 303 riff from the original. We’re caught in the crossfire as glitched vocals and bit crushed acid lines vie for dominance. 

This correspondent knows not how to fully encapsulate the terror of this remix… watch out dance floors around the world!

Darone Sassounian - Synthetic Instincts LP

Darone Sassounian hails from Los Angeles, where he heads up the Rocky Hill label. He has a wide range of styles in his arsenal and takes inspiration from music made in the 70’s and 80’s as well as disco, soul, jazz, international obscurities and vintage house. In 2021, he released the highly acclaimed compilation ‘Silk Road: Journey of the Armenian Diaspora: 1971 - 1982’ on Terrestrial Funk, which got support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Danilo Plessow and Palms Trax. His own famously raw productions come on Rocky Hill while he holds down a monthly residency at the Los Angeles venue, Club Tee Gee and has a radio residency at Los Angeles’s highly acclaimed Dublab. 

His debut album, ‘Synthetic Instincts’ doesn't hide from reality. It’s a full-length journey that grows ever more thought-provoking and revealing the longer you listen. It takes from the world’s political landscape, loss of life and native land and the trajectory humanity is walking towards while offering a sense of hope that the future may hold brighter days. It is an album of forward motion with a touch of history designed to move listeners, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally. 

'St Vincent’s Alley' opens up with deft, Detroit-style deep house that is backlit by pensive chords. 'Good Morning' is perfectly smoky and atmospheric and the wonderful 'Clementine's Absentia' then comes on as a soul-lifting introduction to the full-length record that is sure to please the dance floor. 'Habibi Albi' is another masterclass in evocative synth work and perfectly reduced deep house drums that speak to your heart, and 'Synthetic Instincts' ups the ante with more bump in the drums, but the painterly synths still whirl with heady effect up top. 'Twisted Remedies' is lo-fi but high-quality house with dubby undercurrents, scuffed kicks and muffled spoken words, all infusing the atmosphere with late-night intrigue. 'Drought' adds a little tension with the detuned chord riffs and raw percussive edge to the drums, and 'No Man’s Land' closes in epic fashion over ten immersive minutes of dreamy deep house with wispy pads drifting in and out of focus and contouring nostalgic thoughts.

Hailing from Belarus, and based in Hanoi, Vietnam, producer and DJ Mishouju treats us with a project from overseas, filled with his signature broken electro sounds and deep hypnotizing 4-on-the-floor style that locks you into the dancefloor. “Memphis Electronic Inc.” is an inspired adventure into different sounds and genres like house, breaks, electro, dub & techno that is centered on Mishouju’s favorite hip-hop tunes growing up, mostly Memphis hip-hop.

“Mishy Oi” starts us off with a cheeky reinterpretation of the New York hip hop classic “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” by Ol’ Dirty Bastard, with Mishouju injecting his signature style to a very familiar sample, creating a suspenseful build-up and worthy payoff thus, further enhancing an already ubiquitous song into a banger worthy of a club. Next up, “They Done, Fxxked Up” is a breaky rendition of Memphis legends Three 6 Mafia’s “Yeah, They Done Fucked Up”, using all kinds of percussion into delivering a hypnotic head nodder. “Beton Boots” is an emotional track that gives us a sentimental feeling of nostalgia, even if you aren’t familiar with the sampled “Cement Shoes” by DJ Spanish Fly, another Memphis hip-hop originator. Completing the project is a powerful remix of “Beton Boots” by Italian artist Lucretio. Filled with a filthy acid bassline and a driving kick, this remix is sure to rock your socks off.

The artwork and videos of this project was created by Hanoi based artist “Drowadora”, aka Daria Kokoreva.
