Following on from the release of FBA21 Collected Works 1996 -2017, which was released November 2017 Matthew Puffett decided to wrap up the project, with a handpicked selection of artists to remix key tracks from the compilation. Amongst these figures are some significant influences on Puffett`s early years.
The set includes Kirk Degiorgio, whose reworking of ‘Cross Dissolve’ reimagines the track in full machine mode, serving up a slab of driving techno for the main room. A fan since the early 90s, Kirk and Matt have been in contact over the years, culminating to this powerful re- creation.
Steven Rutter [B12] has also reworked ‘Cross Dissolve’, but in contrast to Degiorgio, Rutter’s mix brings out an almost abstracted, ambient mood, a characteristically expressive and textured piece from one of the leading figures in UK electronica.
Hardway Bros, Sean Johnston [A Love From Outer Space] tackles ‘Mourning’, a piece of melancholic euphoria. In typical Johnston style, Sean slows it all down, bringing it to a mid-tempo Balearic vibe.
