Over the weekend I got a chance to hear two
new Pole remixes. The first was on Laub's
Institutional remix cd on Yo Kitty. I dont
remember the exact name of the track he
remixed but I do remember it was an amazing
mix sounding unlike anything Pole has
previously released. Instead of his sultry
spacious dub stylings, Pole opted for a
very dark glitchy experimental style that
one would associate more with Touch, Ash
International, Mego, K-raa-k, Miau-Miau, etc.
Unfortunately none of the other remixes
on Laub's Institutional remix cd interested me
so i passed on the release but if this mix is
a sign of things to come from Pole then I'm
very excited to hear what his next release
will be like.
The other new Pole remix is from a Frilkyiwa
remix 12" called Lobi Traore on the Cobalt
label. I'm not familiar with the original artist
so i cannot differentiate what sounds are
from the original track vs the remix but it
sounds like Pole mixed his signiture dub
sound at a low level under a much louder
mix of middle-eastern-sounding melodies
and samples. The overall effect gives this
mix more of a world music flavor not unlike
tracks by Loop Guru, The Orb, or even
some Muslimgauze. I was not as impressed
with this mix as I was with Pole's Laub remix.
The other remix on this 12" was by Chari Chari
and was mix of light jazzy techno/breaks over
tribal chants.
