Press Info:
Regal’s “Remember Why You Started” LP faces its final rework. The last package welcomes Regal and Sita Abellan, Thomas P.Heckmann, _asstnt & Roll Dann and Alignment to shine their production skills to the Spanish techno luminaries first album.

Regal & multi-faceted Spanish artist Sita Abellan collaborated for the rework of “Cult of Personality”. Their rendering leans heavily into the realm of electro, with heavily distorted synth lines marching through like a freight train. Darting keys rush and reverberate back upon themselves before a powerful female vocal sample takes over from the male voice that commanded the original. Germany’s Thomas P. Heckmann takes on “Before I Die”. Heavier and beefier than the original, the kick drum and baseline of Heckmann’s remix take control and dominate the landscape. He retains Pau’s distinct vocals, leaving a familiar dash of the original in this bolder rework.

Straight from Madrid’s underground scene are producers _asstnt & Roll Dann, who team up for the remix of “Respect”. A cut up, distorted rework that grows darker and more robust throughout. Bottomless kick drums ring out, while a heavily distorted electric guitar sample brings grime and a sonic haze to the track. Italian producer Alignment wraps up with the accurately placed track “The Last Dance”. In this final remix of the series the kick drum received a complete overhaul, instantly pivoting the track into a darker place. Only the melodic key sequence pours light into the track and brings with it an overwhelming sense of positivity to the closer.

Press Info:
Regal will drop the second remix EP from three packages lined up on his Involve imprint, “RWYS Remixes Pt.02”. He invited some of techno’s finest producers to rework his debut album, including JKS, Ellen Allien, Clouds & Lady Starlight.

Parisian Producer JKS takes on Regal & Z.I.P.P.O’s track “Run” for the opener. Modifying the pads, he emits an elongated, ravey sound that’s accompanied by a vast emphasis on the original samples. Following is almighty German force Ellen Allien, with her equally ferocious rendition of “Dungeon Master”. She shifts the original by injecting wavering synths and bubbling chords, marrying the psychedelic realm created by Allien with the track’s original demonic flare.

Revered Scottish duo Clouds are next with their concoction of “Requiem from a Friend”. Originally a melancholic cut from Regal and pianist Fabrizio rat, Clouds transform the wistful keys and understated synths into deep, howling sonics with sharp, stabbing spasms. NYC producer Lady Starlight closes with “Burning Old Idols”. Maintaining a number of elements from Regal’s composition, she manages to amplify the powerfulness of the track with a robust and tenacious sound, perfectly maintaining energy until the close.

Format:

Tracklist:
A1.
She Dances Alone
(Slam Remix)

B1.
Dealing With My Pain
(PTU Remix)

B2.
Fearful Nights
(Boston 168 Remix)

Press Info:
Involve Records boss Regal presents “RWYS Remixes Pt.01” – the first installment of three immense remix packages from the Spanish techno giant’s debut album, “Remember Why You Started”. Recruiting international powerhouse duo’s Slam, PTU & Boston 168 to rework the earth-shattering originals.

Scotland’s luminary duo Slam kicks off with their edit of “She Dances Alone”. The pair’s distinctive tweak is the alchemization of the kick drum, pivoting into a thunderous force. The kick is paired with claps that ricochet above a determined synth line, while the low-slung baseline mists under twinkling keys and sprinklings of hoover noise, giving the rework an old school feel.

Next, enigmatic Russian twosome PTU transform “Dealing With My Pain”, a once low tempo mid-point track, into a primary dancefloor weapon. This heavily industrialised rendition utilises an incessantly deep bass drum while maintaining the commanding male vocal sample. The thumping kick drum drives the track forward, looping electrical elements that ring out from ear to ear, surrounding you with wild noise and energy.

Italy’s acid techno aficionado’s Boston 168 step up to close with their interpretation of “Fearful Nights”. In true style, the duo mould the very start of the track to blend with their signature sound. A bumping kick drum and quintessential 303 manipulate the melody, resulting in a far more venomous composition than the original.
