The Newcastle born, London based label Jaunt serves ups a second part of its remixes series to mark ten years in action. After Inland, Jonas Kopp, Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff and Gian appeared on the first instalment, now come Tripeo, Aubrey, BNJMN and Markus Suckut with a versatile pack of techno quality.
Techno mainstay Suckut goes first with a big, bouncy version of AWOL’s 54 973379, 1 614705 that is laced with uplifting piano chords. Inventive melodic master BNJMN then slips into dance floor mode with his tunnelling and deep remix of Artefakt’s Wanderings. It is a hypnotic track that never lets up and then Aubrey reworks Luke Hess’s TDY into a mind melting affair with looping, glowing styling lines spraying about over high pressure and urgent drums. Last of all, Tripeo reimagines Deep'a & Biri Pilgrim into a punchy, hard hitting track with raw percussion and supersized drums that will rock even the biggest warehouse. This is high functioning techno in a range of equally compelling styles and marks another vital EP from Jaunt.
Frosty, hypnotic. Everything you can want from techno, proving that it isn't all about how rumbly you can make your kicks, it is about the energy and control that is infused in the beats. Simon Whight
This is such an attention getter when dropped at the right time. I've come into a set strong with this or even as a change up track. It always works....especialy on a big system. love it! I'm happy to have a digital copy now. I can save my vinyl safely at home..
