Dopplereffekt Release New Remix for the Exaltics
Dopplereffekt have released a new remix of The Exaltics, with the positive review from Resident Advisor stating:
“Unexpectedly, Dopplereffekt’s version of ‘Instinct’ is the most propulsive of the lot. It reins in the glassy ambient tones of the original and sews on a simple, three-note bassline, turning it into a deadly techno-electro hybrid.”
Dopplereffekt have forthcoming dates at MIRA Festival in Barcelona, Semibreve Festival in Braga, and Marathon! Festival at la Gaîté lyrique in Paris.
Resident Advisor Mix of the Day: Tim Exile
“This was recorded at a show I did at a festival called Riddim Collision in Lyon in September 2013. As always in the last few years it was completely improvised using the instrument I developed myself which I’ve been playing since 2008. It’s a studio-in-a-box centred around a looper, tied together with some workflow magic allowing me to wander freely: Making, looping, processing, resampling, chopping and so on. All the audio happens on the laptop inside the ensemble running in Reaktor… no analog modular I’m afraid… and it’s controlled by a flightcase full of MIDI controllers.” – Tim Exile
