MEANT™s series highlights producers and takes in their various collaborative creations written on the road. First up, label boss Remain whose roadmap excursion from Paris to Sao Paulo teams him up with Brazilian techno stalwart Clickbox, creating two crisp, restrained, tech workouts alongside two vividly contrasting remixes„ 02 bites with a staccato riff that nags so hard it could make Lil™ Louie blush. Rising with percussive elements and warped humanized textures, it™s built around the timeless energy and dynamic that could crumble the biggest of warehouses or the most intimate of clubs. Remix-wise Swayzak add a darker layer of acid, repositioning the riff so it™s being sung on a lower range while ensuring the stretched, processed vocals are given full attention. 04 exhibits their funkier side with a loose drum arrangement, veered bassline, juicy acid and a wry down-pitched vocal. Strutting with confidence, there is an attractive wonkiness to the kerb-scuffing groove. Meanwhile on the remix Dantom Eeprom realises a different, darker perspective as the bassline™s tones spiral downward with ˜Falling Up™ flavoured finesse. Breaking down into a delicious bit-crushed goo, Eeprom rebuilds the sticky sonics with the help of lasers, dense drums and the perfect amount of cosmisity. A powerful launch piece to kickstart a series that every globetrotter can relate to: one soul away from home linking with kindred spirits.
