The Wraetic 'Ad Absurdum' LP is one of our favourite records by Alex Smoke - and a special one we're proud to have released.
Something we always admired about Alex, is his openness to experiment and explore new directions and to honour that, we had good fun commissioning remixes by our favourite contemporary producers for the whole album. The track titles alone have been enough to get us excited!
From the bedroom to the big room, the package includes some wonderful reworks by friends of the label, those we've admired for a long time and we used the opportunity to approach some fresh faces. We're chuffed with the results all round. Some sound close to how we imagined, others have completely blown us away in a different direction..
We've found these big Bandcamp comps a really useful way of discovering new artists and in turn, we hope to expose you to some new faces from our world. Spanning Australia, Egypt, France, Georgia, Japan, Lithuania, South Africa, Tunisia +++ Berlin - Bristol - London - Munich - Glasgow - Istanbul.
If you buy the original LP on vinyl, the remixes are free.
Any proceeds raised over the release weekend will be donated to The Unity Centre in Glasgow, whose work couldn't be any more vital now ~
