The waiting is finally over! After all the ups and downs of the past year, we can happily report that Joshua Eustis now firmly intends to continue Telefon Tel Aviv as a solo project. In order to mark his decision with a bang, the wonderful title track Immolate Yourself is being released as the second single from the current LP. The song has been entrusted to highly acclaimed and diverse remix artists who have skilfully stripped down the epic album track to more club-friendly formats.
The A side is delivered by label-mate Thomas Muller, whose finely detailed techno soundscapes can now be enjoyed on five BPC 12" releases. His Immolate remix takes a much more direct approach. He reduces the lush arrangement of the original to a powerful basic framework, leaves out the vocals almost entirely, and creates a surprise when the track crumbles into sonic chaos towards the end.
Miss Fitz aka Maayan Nidam has had singles released on labels including Raum Musik and Freak n' Chic, and these have been remixed by renowned artists such as Ricardo Villalobos. Her version of Immolate also makes a clear break from the album track and serves up her very own brand of abstract, dancefloor-friendly house. Once again, all the opulence of the original is thrown overboard; a dry beat is placed at the centre of the arrangement and enriched with sinuous vocals.
Ben Klock needs no further introduction he is the epitome of the bleak, hard minimal sound. His album One is currently available on Ostgut Ton, and as a remixer he has earned the highest acclaim for his version of Depeche Modes Peace. Bens Jack Mix is fittingly titled and lives up to all the expectations of the name. The track is stripped back to a resounding, hammer-like beat framework  minimised for maximum effect.
BPitch legend Sascha Funke delivers a surprise with another astoundingly reduced remix, at least by his standards. He turns away from the melodic richness of his current album Mango in favour of repetitive fragments and an extended arc of tension which will surely make his Immolate remix a massive after-hour hit.
