RELEASE DATE

This is Berlin-based producer
Stefan Betke
's (aka
Pole
) third release on his own ~scape label. Originally a string of four limited colored vinyl 12" releases, the
Steingarten Remixes
now assembles all tracks in the series on CD. Remixing Pole is a bit of a challenge. Carefully assembled, piece-by-piece, his seamless, highly-acclaimed
Steingarten
exhibits no gaps, no ornaments, no superfluous flourishes. And a closer look at the tracks' underlying structures confirms: any additions would only distract from their delicate balance.
Steingarten
's eclectic assembly of equally eclectic remixers were well aware of this tricky challenge -- and none have opted for unnecessary embellishments. With plenty of respect for Pole's pared-down appeal, they nevertheless imbue the new versions with their very own signature sound. While Betke's minimal approach sets the overall mood, subtle nuances add different flavors to the mix. Rarely has a remix project been this coherent. An assembly of reworkings by friends and colleagues, the resulting tracks achieve the rare feat of reinterpreting Pole's music without ever drowning out their singular clarity. While
Dimbiman
, for example, starts his version of "Achterbahn" with a bout of gently bouncing beats that evolve into a springy house groove,
Mike Huckaby
takes a more angular approach, yet both remain true to
Steingarten
's bare essentials. From
Deadbeat
's sharp, dancehall-inspired beats to
Shackleton
's sizzling dub grooves and
Gudrun Gut
's subdued vocal samples "a recited A-Z of girl's names," the resulting works refuse to twist Pole's music out of shape, but highlight, cherish and reflect their essence. Here, Betke's distinctive sound finds itself clothed in a wide array of contemporary electronic guises, from deep house to dubstep. And, best of all, despite their sometimes dizzying level of abstraction, all tracks are extremely danceable. Other remixes by
