Berlin’s much-loved Phon.o – Carsten Aermes – blends melody and a hint of madness in a deceptively subtle Clash mix that takes in atmospheric techno and harder bass-driven moments.
Beginning with the night-soaked electronics of Throwing Snow, Aermes’ mix hits harder as it progresses, displaying his love for crisp, clicked rhythms. The shuffled swing of Carl Craig’s ‘At Les’, Martyn’s consistently progressive tones in ‘Red Dancer’, Aphex’s always-enjoyable Acid edit of ‘Windowlicker’ the mighty Moderat’s Seamonkey (via a haunting, horror-film tech remix by Surgeon), and Phon.o’ own ‘Fukushima’ (one of the stand-outs from the recent ‘Modeselektion Vol.2’) all find their way in to this compelling treat of a mix.
