junior boys: big black coat robert hood remix

"Big Black Coat", the title track of the celebrated Junior Boys album, has received praise for its unconventional mix of techno elements and the signature laid-back Junior Boys sound. Detroit techno legend Robert Hood was an obvious choice for a remix, but with this reworking of the track he has once again outdone himself. As much as the original is in parts a nod to him, Hood's remix in turn gives "Big Black Coat" special treatment. Rather than opting for an all-out techno banger, he carefully deconstructed the original material, rebuilding it as an essentialist industrial club anthem.
