TRACKLIST:

A - Humano - Death (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B - Inigo Kennedy - NGC6826 Blinking Eye (LF Hardspace Mix)

INFO:

For this latest entry into the LFRMX-catalogue Len Faki has chosen two synth-driven tracks of anthemic proportions. Reeko, also known as Architectural, with only one release under his Humano-guise, gets picked for its dramatic strings and larger-than-life stabs, slowly building towards a driving momentum, taking on the peak time with style.
The flip sports mainstay Inigo Kennedy, whose original track built heavily on atmospheric IDM-breakbeats, but works just as well with a straight corset issued by Faki, now highlighting the poetic synth work at its core even more.

TRACKLIST:

A - Robert Armani - Hit Hard (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B - Musik Aus Strom - A2 Untitled (LF Hardspace Mix)

INFO:

More unheard edits from Len Faki‘s personal vaults on this release, harking way back to the mid-'90s and their relentless, hard-hitting styles.

Chicago legend Robert Armani, also still hailed as one of the originators of hardstyle by many, makes an appearance on the A-side. And it‘s that characteristic, punishing kick sound, which is still present in the modern edit, carrying on the original‘s obtuse force albeit shrouded in a much more ominous and austere veil.

German IDM-duo Funkstörung well left their mark on the millennium’s last decade. Even with their side-project Musik Aus Strom that restricted itself to a series of forward-pointing, no-nonsense acid-techno albums. Len Faki picks out a track showcasing the raw and vital essence of that Acid Planet-time and molds it into a soaring, sizzling and well-balanced tool, tricky and perky at once.

A1 - Mod21 - Epilogue 4 (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
A2 - Mod21 - Epilogue 1 (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
B - Irakli - 34 Choices Of Gender (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)


INFO:

On his newest triplet, Len Faki lets loose alien-induced sounds and strange frequencies from far outer space. The A-side goes for Mod21, an enigmatic Italien whose instinct for building a sketchy vibe shines through too on Faki‘s remixes. They‘re both radiant,
sparkling from somewhere buried deep down, their hollowed-out drums and crisp sonics conjuring up an orbital charge! The flip boasts a beefed-up version of Irakli‘s 34 Choices of Gender, its bassline subtly morphing underneath a string of complex net of woven sounds. A slowly brewing vortex finally discharged in true Faki fashion.

A2 - Refracted - Depth Charge (LF Deepspace Mix)
B1 - Craft - Time Will Tell (LF Deepspace Mix)
B2 - A Sacred Geometry - At The Gates (LF Deepspace Mix)

INFO:

For the first time, Len Faki decides to dish out a full foursome of his Deepspace-mixes, sharing one of the most profound entries into the series yet. Originally released within the last couple of years. The atmospheric and dubbed-out ’Biker Scene’ is one of riding blissfully under a sky illuminated by the milky way, followed by a streamlined update on the soaring metallic shuffle that is ’Depth Charge’, its tribal undertones prowling in the underbrush. The flip tucks NYC‘s Craft‘s wild synth work into a tight corset, channeling its lively energy even more effectively for the floor. Closing out with A Sacred Geometry, the Berlin/Rome-connection‘s finely plucked synths glide above elated pads and a skittering rhythm.

TRACKLIST:
A - Plastikman - Hypokondriak (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B - Tres Demented - Brainfreeze (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:
Celebrating its 20th release, this edition of LF RMX features appearences from two of the scene‘s cutting edge producers: Richie Hawtin under his guise of Plastikman alongside Carl Craig‘s Tres Demented-alias.

While Hawtin‘s original might seem a minimalistic bleeping experiment to some, Len Faki‘s edit has plenty of groove to it. Equipped with substantial low-end frequency and a solid kick, the track slowly develops an ambience thats spooky, tribal and mesmerising.

The flip carries an equally strong rework, its grand acid riff and standout-vocals holding center stage, with newly added percussion driving the momentum that turn this one into a peak-time hitter in true crazed-out Tres Demented-style.

A2 - Basic Pain Procedure - Untitled B (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B1 - Sounds & Sequences - Shining (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
B2 - NTHNG - Blazer (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)


INFO:

Forging recent sounds together with long-lost tracks from the '90s, label head Faki dishes out an EP full with favorites, his dubby takes on them sure to cause a fever on the floors.
Starting things off by honing two old-school tunes, the first one a fast hardware-jam, which gets its lead synths toned down for a fresh perspective. Then a classic blueprint for dub-techno, which Faki already remixed in 2015 for its 20th anniversary, is now brought back for a more lively and dynamic interpretation.Taking to novel releases, Sound & Sequences' reverb-heavy journey into dub is amped with percussive forces, granting it an additional drive without sacrificing any of the meditative qualities of the original. With trance missing in the mix, NTHNG comes to deliver, and Faki returns the track
as a deeply soothing version ripe with cosmic energies.

TRACKLIST:

A Wishmountain - Radio (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B Wishmountain - Bottle (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)

INFO:

When Len Faki tackles an old school Matthew Herbert record (released 1998 under his rare Wishmountain moniker), the outcome couldn‘t get any better. Granting the haunting ’Radio’ a proper kick to beat along the chugging, percussive craze of the original, it quickly turns into a mesmerizing trip down memory lane. On the flip Faki leads an excursion deep into the jungle, with ’Bottle’ sporting an atmosphere so immersive, it‘s easy to get lost in the underbrush of this one!

TRACKLIST:
A1 Planet Love Ink - Living In Pain (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
A2 Brotherhood Of Structure - We Are Structure (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B Illuminatae - Tremora Del Terra (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:
For this edition of the LFRMX-series Len Faki is turning to 1990‘s trance and acid. The bpm might be lower than back in the days, but there‘s just as much energy coming off these irresistible tunes in their updated versions.
Featuring the original‘s sizzling synth work by Kompakt co-founder Wolfgang Voigt‘s early collaborative projects, Planet Love Ink strikes an upbeat chord in order to show off its grand piano break for maximum effect.
Equally tapping into the early nineties, Structure – We are Structure is a weighty acid banger with no frills attached. Straight, honest and nailing era‘s vibe to the core. B-Side‘s all about old school trance, booming breaks, and epic synth-sweeps, in this instantly captivating, elevating and driving rework of Illuminatae – Tremora del Terra, a hymn to many back in the days.

TRACKLIST:
A - Mathew Jonson - Folding Space (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
B - Jens Zimmermann - Flusenstaub (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:
Len Faki strikes back with his recent update on two timeworn classics, inhaling them with new life. First up is one of Matthew Jonson‘s finest deep space explorations. Polishing out the fine electronics and giving it even more room to breathe, this one now sounds as fresh as ever. Same goes for Zimmermann‘s Flusenstaub, a wacky track for special treatments on a crazed-out floor. Here Faki retains the original‘s weird vibe while providing it some extra oomph and rolling power to get the extra mileage.

B2 Litüus - PRTN:_002/.2 (Len Faki Hardspace Mix 2)

INFO:

This time we‘ve got a full round of straight-forward floor-weapons for you, contrasting two producer‘s very different approaches and their respective reworks by Len Faki. The A-side is packing heat in form of classic, jacking acid house courtesy of Michael E, whose tracks have that special Ultramajic-sparkle about them but hit with the tight punch and accute precision of a true LF-engineered edit.
Similar goes for the ominous reworks of Litüus‘ experimental synthesis on the flip. Released originally on Shifted‘s Avian label, these heavily modulated analogue sequences merge seemlessy together with Faki‘s metallic percussion.

B1 - Cristian Vogel - Xpute The Woop Woop (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B2 - Marcelus - Multiply (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)

INFO:

Len Faki is sharing his newest edits, which this time are tackling classic minimalist techno from Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems moniker, some technoid funk from Cristian Vogel and fresh fodder off Marcelus‘ recent LP.
Twelve takes the A-side for six-minutes of run and gun, vocal playing center sticking to you long after coming home. Bouncy Xpute The Whoop Whoop already was a lot of fun when it first came out ten years ago! But now the LF-Hardspace Edit brings it back in a way which can be easily thrown together with today‘s more linear techno productions. Working as a breath of fresh air, Multiply breaks up the streamlined grid in favor of introducing a softer and more intricately woven and set of Deepspace-grooves.

B2 L/F/D/M - Sands (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)

INFO:

Next up on LFRMX is another batch of state-of-the-art club weapons. These tools are squeezing the last drop out of their original templates, making for a fun and exciting bag of trickeries. The A-side features a rare appearance from Ian Pooley‘s classic Silvershower-alias brought up to modern times, backed by DJ ESP’s millennial acid-hymn You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do, which still feeds on its iconic riff and vocals in this slower yet just as forcefully booming remix. On the flip, we find Faki‘s edit of an unreleased gem from his own label‘s artist Setaoc Mass, before the EP deliciously closes out on some abyssal ambient synth-cascades by L/F/D/M.

A Kotai – BA3 Breathing (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B Kotai – BA3 Breathing (Len Faki Hardspace Tool)

INFO:

Revisiting another classic for this issue of Len Faki‘s edits, he chooses Kotai‘s 2002 track BA3 Breathing, a standout-cut for it‘s ringing vocals and ominous bassline rumbles. With the original clocking in at the 10-minute mark already, Faki‘s tribute mix is not much shorter, but manages to fill the spaces between beats with lots of fresh details, lifting the song‘s energy to a new level, while retaining the soft but sexy vibe of Kotai‘s compostion. Tightening up the mix and making away with vocals alltogether, the Hardspace Tool-version then solely puts its focus on busty beats and percussive prowess, staking its claim as contender for bossiest bassline of the night.

B1. Randomer & Cadans - Anchor (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B2. Ribe´ - Outlines (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:

This newest installment of the ongoin series presents four very different Hardspace Mixes, each one of which allowing a different shade of Len Faki‘s musical guise to shine through. On Guidance a quick-paced bounce grooves on top of a three-note bassline, suspenseful strings and sensous vox giving the track an unsuspectedly burning itch. Equally smacking, yet both tribal and technoid is his rework of F.E.X‘s Never Give Up, which keeps breaking down in order for the slicing hats to come back in and do their magic. Tackling a current UK-Techno-favorite on the flip, Randomer & Cadans‘ Anchor has got a grimey grind to it, which here gets churned into an even more wicked version of a twisted trip down the rabbit hole. Closing the EP out on a bleeping note, Ribé‘s Outlines is a deep-spacious, echo-laden affair, oscillating in tune and zoning alongside skitting percussives.

B Austen/Scott - Space Taxi (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:

Back with another pair of his heavy-hitting Hardspace Mixes, Len Faki hands two mighty club-weapons. Aimed at no less than unleashing havoc on the floor is the edit of frantic drum-roll-fest Lazer Beam. Already quite a force to be reckoned with, Faki manages to beef-up the mix even more, adding rumbling bass-weight and injecting some extra steam to make it roll out until the end. On the flip side there‘s the hypnotic groove of Space Taxi. Captivating and enveloping, this mix alters the original signature bass in order to shift gears into what feals like full forward – there‘s no escaping this one!

A – Firedance (The Sunrise) (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B – Firedance (The Night) (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

INFO:
Taking on a true trance classic and a personal favorite of his, Len Faki takes us back to the golden era of big melodies and early raves, sharing two very distinct interpretations of Firedance by Odyssee of Noises, the prolific production outfit helmed by Ralf Hildenbeutel. Originally released in 1994 on legendary label Eye Q, this track marked a special period for Faki, when he was fully immersing himself into the scene, and accompanied him through his most formative times as a dancer and a becoming DJ.Brimming with the iconic elation of those nights, side A keeps with the emotive theme of the original‘s Sunrise version, tweeking only slightly to cater for the needs of these days‘ dancers. Re-shaping the classic to match modern productions for it to be mixed with current bangers, Faki packs the tune‘s anthemic appeal into a propulsive ride down memory lane…

A2 DJ Shufflemaster - HD4 Untitled (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B1 Valentino Mora - Elevate (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
B2 UBX127 - Barabrus (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)


Info:
Len Faki takes on a couple of classics for 007 of his ongoing special edits series LFRMX, striking a perfect balance between the old and new.

First up is a tweaked version of Steve Stoll's 1998 LP-excerpt Reciproheat, elegantly edged while carrying the proper weight to move. DJ Shufflemaster's booming Housedust release from the same year however has a wacky tack to its groove, it's mind-bending qualities yet amplified by Faki boiling down the tempo to more current confines.

The flipside goes all deep, starring a rework of Valentino Mora's recent space odyssey. Building upon the original's lively tribal percussion, the prevailent mystical mood is spliced up, readying the track special moments in an otherwise up-tempo-environment. A gently pulsing edit of UBX127's Barabrus eventually puts a meditative and soothing finishing touch to the EP.

TRACKLIST:

A1 Alex Danilov - Inside (Len Faki Deepspace Mix)
A2 Alex Danilov - Inside (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B Developer - Lost Moments (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)

Info:

Len Faki isn't showing any signs of slowing things down over on his special edits-platform, already lining up the second round of 2018 and thus bringing the catalogue total up to LFRMX006.

Alex Danilov's Inside comes in two new versions here, both of which build upon the Russian producer's trademark filter action, making for a groove that funks as strongly as it remains subtle. First off the charming Deepspace Mix patiently unfolds into crisp breaks and lush strings, followed by a remarkably atmospheric Hardspace Mix, which soon steps it up a notch and gets smacking in order to get that floor chugging away to its choo-choo-chimes.
Meanwhile on the other side, Developer's steaming Lost Moments is treated to an array of additional elements, the outcome sounding razor-sharp and agile as ever, yet still channeling a considerable amount of propulsive force.

As with all releases of LF RMX, the proceeds of this record will be donated to the Berlin charity project Straßenkinder e.V. to be used in actions against child poverty.
