Resina - Traces Remixes (2019)

Ben Frost, Ian William Craig, Lotic and Abul Mogard rework pieces from the 2nd solo album by Polish cellist Karolina Rec aka Resina

The original mix of Karolina’s jagged ‘Trigger’ fronts the suite, sitting in stark contrast to the way Abul Mogard’s remix diffuses all the tension into a widescreen, glacial swell that eventually becomes engulfed by its blackened bass undertow. Ben Frost also electronically renders a cinematic drama from ‘In In’ with his billowing designs, whereas Lotic reworks the same original elements into a sloshing and curiously curdled sort of 4.1 world expression of bittersweetness, and Ian William Craig is perhaps most faithful to the original material with his patented, distressed distortion and additional vocals buried in the mix.
