patrick russell: the bunker remixes

Patrick Russell is perhaps best known for his genre-bending DJ sets at the now-infamous No Way Back parties in Detroit and beyond. Here, he delivers three cuts of heady, cerebral bliss. In Russell's hands, Clay Wilson's "E4" becomes a spaced-out stepper's delight. His rework of Romans' "Coptos" lets the acidic undertones of the original run free while snappy percussion holds focus. And his remix of Zemi17's "Rangda," stripped to its bare essentials, is almost a purer representation of the original than the original itself, designed to lift a willing crowd into a trance state.
