Download: WhoMadeWho, “The Plot” (The Mole remix) [Gomma]
Although The Mole’s productions rarely step outside the comfy confines of house and techno, his often loop-centric style seems at home with less electronic source material. So our ears perked up when we heard he was joining French merrymakers Nôze and Discodeine in remixing the latest from Danish dance-punks WhoMadeWho. His thick and hoary take plays up the track’s foreboding mood with scores of textural elements: shrapnel percussion, hollowed out vocals, sharp inhales, and tense melodies whining in the background. You might not hear this one caned in clubs near you, but don’t be surprised if you get sucked into its sonic cyclone for a few repeat spins. You can purchase the full Gomma single at a fine retailer near you.
interesting track. very moody but still funky in an understated way. less crazy about the singing though.
love the track. thanks!
