Ofi (Apollo Mixes)

Order now!

Five new mixes coming from Sei A, Shadowchild, Synkro, Indigo and Colonel Red respectively. First up on the EP is the Sei A mix, in which the Glaswegian producer slows the original down to a cosmic funeral march and twists the rhythm into a futuristic piece of R&B tinged deep house, stripping things down to a simple, hypnotic rhythm track that drives along on it's own minimal path for over seven minutes of perfectly pitched late night dancefloor action. In stark contrast to the Sei A mix comes the Shadowchild mix, an instant burst of anxious energy wrapped round a dubstep rhythm with a big, bold, colourful sound palette that gradually erodes and warps as the track progresses. Shadowchild brings to the fore the intricate, manic synth work of the original mix, which serves to underpin the whole piece and yoke all the various parts into a huge, pleasantly unhinged whole. Next up is the Indigo 'Transmission Mix' - a darker, more pensive proposition altogether. Setting the tone with a wash of white noise and pushing OFI through a dubbed out filter - Indigo creates a post-apocalyptic soundscape with just the merest of hints of the original pushing through his trademark murky haze of static and feedback. Following on from Indigo, we have Synkro's aptly titled Slow Jam Mix, which utilizes the sounds of the 808 and takes OFI onto the fringes of slo-mo instrumental 80s funk territory.
