deathstardisco...track by track
01)lfo-freak (kevin mut freaked out droid edit)
deathstardisco begins with the fat beats and of LFO's Freak, edited all to tatooine and back.
the beat disintigrates as...
02)john williams - star wars theme (kevin mut cheap synth remix)
comes into the mix. this familiar theme should be recognized by everyone. if you dont
recognize it, something is wrong with you ;). the reverberated animal noises of...
03)andre kraml - safari (pier bucci's amazon mix)
slowly creep into the mix as the star wars theme wavers in an endlessly mutating feedback
loop before succombing to the deep bass of 'safari.' we are transported along with chewie to
jabba's cantina where han solo is rescued from his frozen carbon state. this leads into....
04)mathew jonson - folding space
detroit has never sounded so good. the funk continues along whilst slowly mutating along its
way. towards the end beats from ghostcauldron's 'see what i've become (superpitcher remix)'
come in before giving way to the ultra funky...
05)subjekt - step back (rob mello's no ears remix) (kevin mut segue edit)
i said step back we dancinnnnnnnnnn' on this deathstardiscoteque. but wait it gets better as...
06)michael mayer - x (kevin mut's yz edit) + (beats from 'computer rock')
shuffle-tastic tones come in. sitting comfortably below lies beats from computor rockers'
'computor rock.' c3po and the shuffle gives way to the orchestral intro of...
07)tiefschwarz - issst (tiefschwarz dub)
takes over before mutating into a wicked 21st century acid houser. which i might add leads
nicely into
08)tiefschwarz - issst (nathan fake remix)
which takes the acid and runs it through your original nintendo box before it churns out its
8-bit funk. this leads into another of nathan's many excellent tracks...
09)nathan fake - dinamo
the title track on his ep for traum. the haunting melody is propelled along by nice acid stabs
as it slowly gives away to...
10)m83 - i guess i'm floating (kevin mut's levetational edit)
whose otherworldy melody shares spaces with the outro beats of dinamo and the intro beats
of...
11) andre kraml - safari (james holden remix)
whose off kilter shuffle and symphony of creature noises reminds one of what it must have
been like to hear the voices cry out from alderan amidst the great disturbance in the force.
darth vader kindly reminds us after some labored breathing that we don't know the power of
the dark side. i think that blackstrobe would beg to differ as evidenced by...
12)tiefschwarz - ghostrack (blackstrobe remix)
who mosterous stabs are what techno is all about. heavy would be one way to describe it.
the palpable riff accented by the droid like melody cannot be stopped as we rebel scum are
reminded by lord vader. continuing the emperial dominance is...
13)nathan fake - undoing the laces
which takes over and replaces the techno with pure acid house. stormtroopers set their
blasters to stun as the all-encompassing tractor beam riff of...
14)slam - this world (phil kieran remix)
sucks everything within its range. this track is death star huge.
15)rocco branco - catch & release
releases the imperial probes amongst its infectious rolling b-line. r2d2 & c3po give their 2
cents before
16)nathan fake - outhouse (km edit)
rips through and absolutely destroys the vacuum of outer space. the outro gets worked over by
17)james holden - a break in the clouds (beats tool)
which stomps along with snippets of 'a break in the clouds (ambient version)' float in and out, leading into
17)james holden - a break in the clouds (main mix)
signifying the dark side's reign has come to end. the
static of lost space transmissions disintegrates into
18)m83 - beauties can die too (outro edit)
which serenely fades into nothing.
