Benedikt Frey’s arresting Out Of Here was the second entry of our Blanc series. Originally a vinyl-only limited relea- se, now the track gets a fresh new treatment in the hands of two mainstays of European techno: Roman Flügel and Simon Haydo. Flügel’s Cosmic Disco Drama Rework lives up to its name, maintaining the noir disco spirit of the original track but infusing it with tension-building sequences and strings that give it an extra mischievous twist. Our favorite frankfurter also straightens the rhythmic skeleton and adds shuffling shakers to make it a relentless dancefloor weapon. Haydo’s remix delves into a more dismal terrain, transforming the vocals into haunted echoes, adding esoteric synths and topping it all with razor-sharp percussion in what sounds like a storm of ice asteroids falling into a lake of steel.
The 12” comes in a beautiful sleeve featuring an exclusive illustration by Barcelona-based artist Pau López and design by Arnau Pi.
