However you describe riveting Venezuelan-born, Barcelona-based duo
Fur Coat
's style, there's no denying that theirs is very much the sound of now. Fusing bold, dramatic synth lines with heady atmospherics and rhythms that seamlessly blend the organic and electronic, they have won fans far and wide with their releases on Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, Culprit, Get Physical, My Favorite Robot, and BPitch Control, and debuted at #66 in Resident Advisor's Top 100 DJs of 2014. Their mix for Balance is their first official compilation, following online mixes for the likes of Red Bull Music Academy, Deep House Amsterdam, and Rinse. "We mixed the compilation live in Barcelona, at
Israel
's house, with TRAKTOR and an Allen and Heath mixer. We really wanted to have that DJ feeling, the actual feeling of it being mix; not just dropping the tracks on Ableton and mapping automations" --Fur Coat. We begin in deep and mysterious fashion with the throbbing beats of
Mathew Jonson and The Mole
's remix of
Tobias
and the spooky afro-tech of
Masomenos
, before the soaring riffs of
Patlac
's remix of
Embassy of Joy
.
Âme
's classic
Akabu
remix sends the mix into spine-tingling overdrive, with
Chardronnet & Afrilounge
(feat.
Phetote the Poet
) in hot pursuit.
Francesca Lombardo
plunges us into a more hypnotic place, teeing up
Radio Slave
's incessant
Tokyo Black Star
remix and more introspective, subtle material from
Cesare vs Disorder
and
Luke Slater
(the latter remixing
Slam
).
Efdemin
's remix of
Simon Flower
's "Phosphenes" continues to delve into the deepest reaches of Fur Coat's record box -- all throbbing low-end and mind-bending slivers of sound. Fur Coat's exclusive "Monday" -- made specially for this compilation -- brings the mix out of its depths with bold lead lines, twinkling arps, and plump bass toms.
Agoria
's haunting
Metronomy
remix increases the tension, segueing into the mesmerizing melodies of Fur Coat's now-classic "U Turn." The grunting synths of
Roman Flügel
's "O.T.H." provide some relief from the tension, before
Malandra Jr
's "Infinity" brings back the brooding feel.
DJ Koze
's "Mariposa" provides the perfect foil to its predecessor, maintaining a sense of majesty while bringing the energy down to a simmer.
Barnt
's tough-edged, industrious remix of
Michael Mayer
's "Voigt Kampff Test" brings the mix to a rousing close with eerie melody and swathes of fizzing white noise. As a whole, it's a very cohesive listen that manages to sound at once contemporary and classic.
