COMBAT 25D :: Point B : Suicide Beauty Spot RMXs Part 1 – OUT!

Upon completion of the Point B’s Suicide Beauty Spot album, several artists stepped forth for remix duties to give their own unique interpretation of the album’s tracks. In most cases, artists just went straight to work without hearing the originals, resulting in several very interesting, diverse takes on Point B’s work.

First up is the mighty Cursor Miner , who applies his dancefloor knowledge to give an immense beast of a mutant electro/breakbeat track that’s torn several venues apart at peak-time, including the Centrifuge party in Berlin earlier this February. Already championed by Surgeon and Rob Booth.

Thorn Industries’ Blackmass Plastics takes a more restrained, considered approach on his own dark 2-step version, which snarls and prowls dark alleys deliberately and with martial precision, armed with razor sharp beats and a cold, impassive face.

Crackling, fizzing distortion features on the melodic but much harder remix by Cloaks of Suicide Beauty Spot. The experts of precision-noise electronics took the original parts and processed them into something excruciatingly beautiful; fragile part-melodies encased in crystalline distortion and shards of precision noise, set over a dubstep beat.

Pushing things on a more melodic, downtempo tip is DC Recordings’ Kelpe, a long time colleage of Point B. He reworks Forgotten Ritual into a colourful, bouncing, hip hop track infused with bittersweet melodies and a fat chugging bassline.
