Haszari & nsu - It's Not Real / Neutron Star MMX (CBR003)

“It’s Not Real / Neutron Star MMX” is the 3rd release from Dunedin-based label Cartoon Beats, and the first to feature work by nsu. The double EP (unofficially known as “The Deep Space EP”) comes with a title-track each by Haszari and nsu, with remix support from NZ legends Aural Trash, Greg Churchill and LA-based Snake Charmer.

The foundations of the EP lie in the distant depths of cosmos with the original numbers flying the tech-house banner. The party is then crashed proper by nearing the speed of light thanks to the more energised electro trash and fidget cuts, courtesy of the remix expedition crew.

The EP is available now in digital format from iTunes, JunoDownload.com, AmazonMP3 and other online retailers.

The Mystical Tree - Remixes

We’re back with a bang, and the first release featuring new material is a duo of quality thumping remixes of “The Mystical Tree”, originally a downbeat track.

Sydney-based Nikolozi kicks the proceedings off with a stomping and teasing tech banger. Redsquad follows this up with a driving, but deep, fidget treatment of the original.

006 looks back at a couple of original works from 2008. “Pluton Bleed”, previously known as “Nosebleed / Plutonic”, is a mash-up of two dark techno/dub crossover tunes. This is followed up by “Pulsar Dub”, a minimal dub rework of “Neutron Star”.

Darkness - NCMF004DD

…a more subdued and moody affair – “Darkness” is an unstructured and atmospheric piece of ambient music, built on synthesized strings, piano, ethereal pads and a music-box-like melody, portraying beauty in imperfection.

The XPNDR Rework, by John Woolfie of Lethal Sound Device, reconstructs the original as a minimal tech house number, that gets a bit of a thump going on.

Neutron Star Remixes NCMF001DD

The first in a series of retrospective releases is a duo of remixes of the first digital single “Neutron Star”. First up is Romantech‘s spacey liquid drum’n'bass take on the original. This is followed up on the “flip side” by an excellent polished-up techy/progressive (with a hint of tribal) version by Ralph’e’.

While the remixes were available previously under the late e-lusive banner, they are now available in high quality 320kbps MP3 format as a free download, with embedded artwork.
