EP: Jon Hopkins- Collider Remixes

The stark, repeating minimalism of Jon Hopkins' Collider meant it was always going to be a good song to remix. So unsurprisingly, the 12" release of mixes from Pangea, Karenn and Objekt is definitely a good thing. (If you haven't heard Hopkins' original yet, check out the live session he did in January with Seattle's KEXP Radio here)

The most impressive thing about this release is the variation that comes out of one song: Pangea hardens the beat, bringing out the distorted snares and adding old-school synthwaves other the back half of the track; Karenn flips the laid back patience of Collider upside down, turning the track into a constant acceleration; and Objekt glitters smooth xylophone arpeggios over cold, percussive backing. The record can easily be listened to one sitting despite each song stemming from the same beat, something definitely worth doing if Hopkins' LP Immunity stood out for you as a highlight of last year.
