In the late summer of 1976 krautrock and electronic music pioneers Harmonia collaborated with Brian Eno to create the now seminal 'Tracks & Traces' release. The resulting abstract experiments, packed with warm harmonies, wheezing drum machines, woozy synths and slide guitar feel as fresh and relevant today as the day they were recorded. Following the recent expanded re-release of the album on Groenland Records, London based DJ/producer/bloggers Allez-Allez are delighted to announce they have commissioned two fresh re-interpretations of the old masters' work by modern day innovators Shackleton, and Appleblim w/ Komonazmuk to ease the retro futurism of Harmonia & Eno's compositions onto a tripped out 21st century dancefloor. Shackleton's effort treats the original ambient excursion with respect, adding a motorik dubstep pulse, cavernous reverb and emphasises the melancholy feel with his characteristic eastern twinge, all combining for an unforgetable ride. Not to be outdone, Shackleton's old sparring partner Appleblim combines with Komonazmuk to rerub 'By The Riverside'... Taking a more driving approach, the pair dub out the original, adding skittering hi-hats and alternating between half / double time to devastating effect, the chords building an urgent tension that's never quite released. Both are tracks sure to mesmerise dancefloors from Berlin to Bogota. The first release on Allez-Allez's new Kompakt distributed Amazing Sounds imprint on the 2nd of November, the sumptuous package will be released on limited edition white vinyl and digital download, with artwork by famed illustrator / designer James Joyce (www.one-fine-day.co.uk) that captures the nostalgic spirit of 70's Germany but with a modern twist.

“Really lovely listening production. Drifting and cinematic.”
Ashley Beedle
“Both mixes are pretty stunning. Appleblim just takes the edge although both will be getting big support from me. 5/5.”
Dixon
“Interesting stuff. Thanks. Loving the Shackleton mix. 4/5.”
Paul Woolford
“Yes indeed - I had read about this on Allez-Allez with a huge degree of excitement. I'm intrigued to hear the originals. Appleblim has been somebody whose work has blown me away over the last 2 years, and it is he who grabs me with his rework of 'By The River'. Particularly from 5.20 onwards... heavy atmosphere. Love it. Well done all concerned.”
Orde Meikle (Slam/Soma)
“Cool as you like – nice stuff.”
Chris Box (Run Sounds)
“Wow – the Shackleton mix is seriously good! Properly blown away by it. A great piece of music. Appleblim mix is pretty heavy as well – can see myself playing both of these tracks in the right place at the right time.”
