Track-By-Track: BSU #12
Three years after the first Casa Sports volume and the label is still going strong. Last year saw a number of superlative digital releases, including label boss OCB's 'Brussels Electronic' on the C12 compilation (star of Peach's extended RA mix) and a couple of in-house VAs called Data X Press Vols 1 and 2.
My picks of the two collections are 'Intercity Bahn' on Vol 2 and this Flint track on Vol 1, which I first heard in one of Ben UFO's Rinse shows. Sprightly, angular and in some way more about the space between the sounds than the sounds themselves, this is what the best electro does.
It's also a lot of fun to mix, although I think it's important to find a suitable harmony with the unusual tone of those pads...something I rather glossed over on my way out of the Abstract Eye tune.

Note: this is an entry in the Track-By-Track series for my mix for Butter Side Up.
Track-By-Track is a series that looks back at records you will have heard in my mixes, one by one in the order they were played. Who made them, and when? How did I come across them? And what do they make me feel?
