Super Flu’s latest full length, “Halle Saale” gets a remix package to compliment the quirky, light-hearted techno of the original tracks. Dropping on the 24th of this month, the album will receive five renditions of Halle Saale from Format B, DJ Koze, Stephan Bodzin, Andhim, and Martin Waslewski. All of which push sounds from the originals into peculiar-but-inviting territory, making for an excellent little remix compilation.
This remix from Format:B is the pick of the bunch for us. While the original was a heavily percussion led tech house cut, featuring the noticeable drum work of Monkey Safari, Format:B’s version strips the track down and incorporates a powerful main melodic line which drives right through the edit. This is definitely the more club orientated version of Super Flu’s track that would really go down in a set fused with techno and a touch of electro. Check out the Format:B’s remix below alongside two other equally intricate versions of “Jo Gurt” and “Gether” from none other than DJ Koze and Andhim.
Known primarily for his lush remix of Mount Kimbie’s “Made To Stray”. DJ Koze’s rendition of “Jo Gurt” is the darkest of our picks from the album, its synths are Jagged and harsh and the repetiton of “Ok” may even seem odd, but its baseline and atmospherics hold a certain warmth and depth that will keep the listener engaged throughout.
Finally Andhim bring us to a sensual, sonic conclusion with their version of “Gether”. While the original drove forth with a slow and steady four to the floor kick, here we find the Cologne natives adding a subtle breakbeat swing, alongside psychedelic sampling and oceanic textures.
