Following the recent vinyl reissue of Manuel Tur's cinematic downtempo album Intertextural, originally self-released during the Covid 19 pandemic, comes this package of fresh remixes featuring interpretations of four standout tracks from the record by DJ Counselling, All Is Well, and Yuu Udagawa. London-based DJ Counselling opens the EP with his energetic version of "Omina," raising tempo and hands with an expertly executed arrangement, while the newly added filtered synth chords echo some of Tur's best-known releases of the late noughties. Next up is Montreal's Frédéric Blais aka All Is Well, who after his recent LP success on Drumpoet and another album under his main moniker Fred Everything, turns "Flakon" into a head-nodding groove masterpiece that recalls the subtle '90s trip-hop flavor of the original version. On the B-side, Tokyo native Yuu Udagawa, who has collaborated with Tur on several occasions, unleashes two beautiful and ethereal remixes of "Slow White" and "Shadowgraph" that lets listeners float through her signature sparkling sound.

On Intertextural, Manuel Tur delves into more cinematic ambient and trip-hop realms, reminiscent of short interludes from 1990s classic electronica albums. 12 tracks of shifting beat structures, meandering loops and interlocking dubs, oscillating between sample-based and digital textures, form an atmospherically dense tapestry already familiar from Tur's productions for the dance floor. Originally recorded in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic and self-released as a digital-only album, Intertextural is now available for the first time in a physical format, specially remastered and cut to 180g vinyl.

Clipping me softly! Manuel Tur returns to his own new label Spaced Repetitions for a second round of atmospherically dense DJ tools. Three different cuts for any time of night or day -- did someone say Swiss Army Knife? Suspenseful title track "Soft Clip" takes you on a dark and dreamy boat ride through the midnight jungle, before the energetic "Hip Control" with its distant sounds of a nearby ritual inevitably makes your bodies shake as you approach the riverbank. Finally, back on solid ground, the heavy groove of "Suave Gear Changer" points the way inland. But will these beguiling scent and hypnotic sounds of the surroundings ever let you arrive? Find out in the next instalment of Spaced Repetitions.
