MIXBONE

On the Mixbone EP, two tracks from Eric Copeland''''s 2017 record Goofballs get reworked by five of leftfield electronic music''''s heaviest hitters. The Goofballs LP finds the Black Dice founding member conducting hectic, dancefloor-oriented experiments; The Vinyl Factory called it a 'mangled, spangled journey into the fringes of industrial disco and hallucinatory club tackle.' Mixbone capitalizes on this direction with remixes that recontextualize and reshape the propulsive energy of the original songs into wholly different forms.

New York techno powerhouse and Allergy Season boss Physical Therapy contributes two aptly named takes on 'Mixer Shredder' ' the 'Tegel Mix' churns with industrial EBM low-end, and the breakbeat and wubby bassline make the 'Gatwick Mix' unmistakably English. NHK yx Koyxen remixes Eric for the second time, with a jittery and woozy electro interpretation of 'Neckbone.' Cooper Saver, best known for his Far Away parties in Los Angeles, turns in one of the most unexpected remixes, keeping it 4/4 and creating what sounds like Shep Pettibone making acid house.
