The Hermit / The High Priestess (Blawan Remixes)

Berlin based Zehnin ask Blawan to remix it's inaugural EP from Lucy. First up is Blawan's version of "The Hermit" which is seven spacious and mysterious minutes of creeping pads and implicit rhythms. Dark but inviting, it's stripped-back, hollowed-out techno that manages to be hugely absorbing and menacing without any clearly defined drums. On the flip is the equally beguiling "The High Priestess". Deep, subliminal kicks set the tone as groaning riffs, train-track percussion and distant, tortured pads all slowly hypnotize. This is evocative dead-of-night music that says a lot in impressively economical ways.
