Booka Shade 'Movements 10' (Blaufield M10)
Booka Shade celebrate 10 years since the release of their career-defining LP ‘Movements’ with this re-mastered version, which also comes with a stack of stellar remixes. Hunter/Game’s take on ‘In White Rooms’ is darker and deeper than the melodic mix turned in by Jonas Rathsman, while Nils Frahm’s grooving, nine-minute version of ‘Night Falls’ contrasts with Patrick Topping’s tech-house rework. Elsewhere, Eats Everything adds quirky mechanical textures to ‘Mandarine Girl’ before Deetron’s squelching edit takes it in a more menacing direction, while Dennis Ferrer’s big-room mix of ‘Lost High’ builds into steady techno.
