“A: “Silicon (Mindscape remix)” – Noisia

AA: “Sea of Change (Pyro & 154 remix)” – Pyro

Paul Reset’s notes:

Hungarian dnb supercollective Mindscape turned in this amazing remix of “Silicon” (originally released on NERVE009) as a swap for Noisia remixing Soulproof’s (another Hungarian dnb supergroup!) track “Untrue” and what a job they did. Stripping back the track a little and adding even more of that alien funk that we love so much!

For the flip – Pyro teamed up with friend 154 for this remix of his “Sea of Change” track (originally released on NERVE008). While keeping the atmosphere and epic vibe of the original, they managed to up the dancefloor factor and add a harder edge.

Once again – artwork duties were carried out by the guys at Yuva.TV.

(oh and again I’ve nicked the artwork from Rolldabeats temporarily until I get my own versions online)

Pyro’s Notes:

The Mindscape remix of Silicon is the kind of track that bores itself straight into the heart of most neurofunk addict.  It was pretty much perfect for the time as Noisia had really solidified their position in the meantime.  Our little remix on the flip was a child of hard labour.  It was basically how i felt the original should’ve ended up (these days I’m not so sure though) and we spent weeks getting it to sound right. Like oldman reset said I’m pleased with how we managed to keep it very atmospheric while still aiming it at the floor.

A: “Silicon” – Noisia

AA: “Tomahawk” – Noisia and Mayhem

Paul Reset’s notes:

Well – things had ended rather badly at our previous distributors Epicentre (they went under) so we needed a new start. Some discussions with Alphamagic (who’d previously distributed NERVE001 and NERVE002) then followed and we ended up back onboard with them. So we thought we needed something a bit special to relaunch with. I’d been friends with Ant Mayhem for a while and he introduced us to the Noisia guys. We snapped up their “Silicon” track and also their collab with Mayhem for the flip – “Tomahawk”. This was Noisia’s debut release.

Both sides were amazing, “Silicon” with its rollin bassline that just grabs you by the hair and throws you around the room and “Tomahawk” with its skippy breaks and smooth bassline. This turned out to be the 12 that people would constantly ask me about over the years.

Noisia went on to do massive things on Subtitles, Ram, Virus etc etc and their own Vision imprint has become one of the top labels in the scene. At the time of writing there an album is in the works from them featuring collabs with Foreign Beggars amongst others. Mayhem also went on to release more amazing material including another collab with Noisia – “Moonway Renegade” on Ram. He has a new album forthcoming on his Shadow Law imprint and early signs indicate it’s gonna be a belter!

More info on Noisia can be found on their Myspace page. More info on Mayhem be found on his Myspace page.
