On “Mascat”, analog space junk flies in and out of an orbital framework built upon nearly nine minutes of bubbling bass and peripheral percussion. Space boogie at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn anti-gravity exercise in repetition, \u003cb\u003eLee Douglas\u003c\/b\u003e remixes \"Macsat\" for the flipside. Reaching a zen state through mantra-like looping that would make Steve Reich proud, Douglas reworks Lauer’s sounds from a delicate and pensive place to a muscular and propulsive groove. Most if not all of the synthesized glitter from the original is eventually forgone in favor of blasted percussion and an unrelenting bassline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital bonus remix by \u003cb\u003eThe Backwoods\u003c\/b\u003e - aka \u003cb\u003eDJ Kent\u003c\/b\u003e, one half of Tokyo’s \u003cb\u003eForce of Nature\u003c\/b\u003e - floats “Macsat” back to earth. The soulful piano that backbones the track conjures sunrises off the shores of Orion and a galactic hangover from all the space juicin’. The Backwoods brings some brawn to the original arrangement and allows alien interception by way of a mangled but melodic celestial sound choir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 12\" from Beats in Space Records features original artwork in considerate and serial form. BIS004 12\" features artwork by \u003cb\u003eKensei Yabuno\u003c\/b\u003e, whose mutant life form illustrations lurk in corners all over the design universe. The 12\" packaging constructed by Will Work For Good features a removable vinyl BIS logo cling. The 12\" is available from fine retailers worldwide and digitally version from the drab internet universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eVideos\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/49433206\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BIS004","offers":[{"title":"DIGITAL - $4","offer_id":13130875469893,"sku":"BIS004DIGI","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" - $14","offer_id":13130875535429,"sku":"BIS004LP","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6993\/6709\/products\/p-5684-142_bis004_cover_a_500x500_bd521f50-8e9a-419e-abf0-e903025f623b.jpg?v=1535219069","url":"https:\/\/igetrvng.com\/products\/bis004","provider":"RVNG Intl.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
