I'm really excited to introduce remixes for my Half Light Half Dark EP from 6 immensely talented & unique artists from all over the globe whom I really admire. I've been interested in putting together a remix EP for a while now & my Half Light Half Dark EP felt like the perfect batch of tracks to hand off for some new ideas.

In case you're not familiar with the artists involved, here's some context:

Adam Strömstedt is a Swedish producer, growing up in Stockholm, but currently residing in Sydney, Australia. He runs a label called Lyssna Records alongside fellow Swedish producer Flord King (lyssnarecords.bandcamp.com). They have such an awesome catalog of really tasteful & insanely groovy house on the deeper side. Adam has been running a regular radioshow in Sydney throughout the entire pandemic called Always Sometimes. He was nice enough to have me on the show twice for guestmixes & the show became my regular evening cooking / wind down soundtrack during the week for the last year or so. They just had their 50th & final Orbital Radio episode earlier this month (all episodes can be found here: soundcloud.com/always-sometimes). His music is incredibly meditative & groovy with so much thought & care put into sound choice, rhythm, witty vocal samples, etc. He has these extremely punchy, clean & crisp mixdowns that I've envied since first hearing his Redfern EP back in 2019. Adam just released his debut album Escalator Music at the tail end of 2021 on the legendary KANN which is a must-listen: kann.bandcamp.com/album/escalator-music-kann44

Ben Kaczor is a producer out of Basel, Switzerland who has his hand in a variety of different projects that have caught my attention over the years. He releases music regularly from a number of these projects as well as other Swiss artists on his own platform KCZ / CZT (benkaczor.bandcamp.com/music). The label showcases a really nice contrast between his ambient releases (CZT) & his techno releases (KCZ) - a lot of which have ended up in a bunch of my mixes & DJ sets over the years. He also has a project called Tarik Hensen (benkaczor.bandcamp.com/album/tarik-hensen-saknar-a-nde-ep) with Swedish producer Martinou which consists of a tough, gritty, moody techno that is a really nice blend of each of their sounds. Ben has such a breadth of music knowledge across the worlds of techno & ambient music - everything he puts out surprises me & I constantly find myself in awe of his releases & mixes. He also has a new album on the way: benkaczor.bandcamp.com/album/ben-kaczor-sun-chapter-one

Icelandic producer Jónbjörn is the cofounder of Reykjavík-based record label, Lagaffe Tales. I met Jónbjörn in Berlin a few years back & we've stayed in touch since. He & his label-mate Viktor Birgliss have done an amazing job curating a fantastic catalog of music that to me has always true to the roots of electronic music while also having a uniquely Icelandic tone which is accompanied by Jónbjörn's own, otherworldly artwork designs. Jónbjörn's music to me sounds like the geologic activity in his backyard - techno & electro that is raw & full of tension, crafted for those early morning hours in a sweaty warehouse party or a HÖR livestream. You’ll get the idea rigth away when you hear his latest BROT 4 EP: jonbjorn.bandcamp.com/album/brot-04. His label has releases from him as well as many other artists from Iceland & around the world spanning all the way back to 2012 & you can really hear how their tastes changed & developed over the last 10 years: lagaffetales.bandcamp.com

Sanguine is a producer from Sydney & runs a really great downtempo mix series called 13th Chime that had me on board a few months back. He just released a new album of music that he made during the pandemic called The Absence of Colour which I highly recommend checking out: roberthughes.bandcamp.com/album/absence-of-colour

Argentinian producer Forest On Stasys is a prolific artist in the techno scene with releases on labels including Harmony Records & Lowless. He also runs his own label with two fellow Argentinians called Danza Nativa (danzanativa.bandcamp.com) which focuses on showcasing a unique style of mesmerizing ambient techno. Forest On Stasys’ music is deep, hypnotic & sonically sublime. A lot of his tracks have a very tribal feel to them with tight rhythms made up of toms & bongos, field recordings & enchanting vocals. His music puts you into a trance & takes you to some outdoor dancefloor in the middle of the jungle. I highly recommend diving into his Mantrum EP on Harmony: harmonyrec.bandcamp.com/album/mantrum

Last but very much not least is Caldera - an artist whose productions have had me in awe for ages. German but living in Brighton, UK, he runs a monthly radioshow on 1BTN. Caldera's sense of rhythms, texture & the overall hypnotic & dubby sides of techno is something I’ve always been super inspired by. His Leafs EP released back in 2020 is a must-listen (bokharirecords.bandcamp.com/album/leafs). He also just released his second album One Last Glimpse on a label called Noorden - it's full of insane detail & is super impressive: noorden.bandcamp.com/album/one-last-glimpse
