While listeners around the world continue to play the rich array of tracks on Coloray's debut album Future Static, Atomnation now serves up some tasteful remixes of it by Baril, Sam Goku and Nadia Struiwigh. The album served as a portal to a different world with stylish synths bringing plenty of colour and emotion to the club-ready grooves. Now they are all reworked for different moments on the dance floor but with equally high levels of design.
Baril - one of the main artists of Coloray's Intercept label - flips 'Broken Mirrors' into a scuffed-up groove built on crisp breaks with a faster tempo. Melancholic pads bring a sense of sombreness while the airy, half-pitched vocals add plenty of soul. A perfect piano-laced breakdown builds the energy so that when it drops again hands are sure to go in the air.
Sam Goku's own music was the subject of a fine remix EP late in 2020 and now the Munich-based artist shows off another side with his cosmic take on 'Line Break.' Slivers of synth shimmer and shine while suspensory chords bring more bright light to the tight, twisted drums and bass that take you ever higher.
Sydney-based Dutch artist Nadia Struiwigh offers the final remix of 'Center Of The C#' after establishing her unique sound on labels like on Central Processing Unit, Denovali Records and Nous'klaer Audio. She slowly builds a vibe over seven enthralling minutes, initially with majestic ambient synth work and then with subtle drum rotations that lock you into a state of hypnosis.
All three of these remixes bring a fresh perspective to the still essential originals. On top, a peak time bonus remix from collaborator and friend Eagles & Butterflies is in planning this summer for when the 12" vinyl will hit shelves. Stay in tune for more!

Percussion like the creaking of the forest, momentum like the flow of rivers, voices and strings echoing across mountain ranges - everything here coheres wonderfully into a sonic representation of wild landscapes. Perimeter is straight up euphoric. josh epps
The Italian label Raw Culture is a force to be reckoned with & this album is proof of its powers, packed with subterranean industrial heat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2023
