Solotempo are back after a two year gap, since the mighty mighty OCD Ten release, and they have bought along some SM buddies and other friends for some remix fun.

"Egoist (original mix)" drops the heavy beat style that we all love from Solotempo. The MC vocals blend smoothly in with the more industrial style glitch happy melody that rips along at a flip pace with scratches and reverse hacks for one and all. Pure electro styling mash up in a darkened bassbin with glowing red eyes and a eternally firing surface to air missile battery. Awesome.

"Raf & Superdefeckt feat Mark Boombastik remix" take the original and rip it into a million gargling pieces for a laugh I reckon. Truely for the dancefloor, this one takes a beefy bassline and offcuts of Gameboy dreampatterns and ties it all together with the glowing chipset of a courtesy droid, who is intent on getting wrecked tonight. Just give in man, as she wont take no for an answer.Jitter spullter mechanics for all you squareheads out there. Quality. Soltempo then take the baton and prepare to demolish some walls with their foray into this extravaganza, with a remix. Crunch aware from the very start, you know exactly what you are in for, as world shaking beats crumble and shake the foundations, like its some kind of test, whilst small super trained machines pour out of an escape hatch in their droves to a subdued bell ringing melody attack. Just wait until you hear the disjointed vocals over a sci-fi waveform. Class remix, wicked stuff.

Fellow SM stablemates Intricate fresh from their recent 'In pectra' album are here to have a go as well with their 'How white chocolate mix". Sliced vocals fall through the air like descending feathers, as echoing samples etch themselves into the present minute with calculating accuracy, and the "Im only here to make a dollar" vocal blasts out at you in juttering waves, creating a repeat pattern from its own sound, as a playground style universe reaching melody creeps into the foray, adding another element to this rich rich track. More shit hot stuff. Intricate blow it up


Solotempo come back from their time out , with what will be another hyper popular release. Their combination of hip-hop stylings and glitchy beat rocking laboratory experiments, make it impossible to not love it, and along with the calibre of remix artists on this release, it is not possible to go wrong with this record.

Spezial material are HOT.
