Kolor (Incl. Carl Craig Remix)

Mirko Loko follows his 2015 album Comet Plan (CADENZA 016 CD/102 LP) with Kolor in a return to Cadenza after his 2009 debut Seventynine (CADENZA 038EP). Mirko is obviously indebted to the techno music of the Motor City, and these classic Detroit tropes are certainly used in the building blocks of the original mix of Kolor, sprinkled with a dusting of xylophones, bells, and chimes. For his remix, Planet E founder and legendary Detroit producer Carl Craig keeps the 4/4 framework of the original mix and strips back the percussion somewhat, working with elastic synths, flanged percs, and a heavy low end.
