Re:Visions on 10’’ are musical trips that establish feedbacks between the past and the future. The current 10’’ is a part of this series, which was started by Alois Huber and Oh Gee in 2009.

From the start, Re:Visions vibrated in dub parameters: For the first release, samples of Supermax, the visionary Austrian dub pioneer, were reworked into psycho-sonic dubstep heading towards Detroit techno. In the typical 10’’ format, too, with a version included. The second vinyl transformed «So wie du dir das denkst, geht das nicht» by the German band Dub Voyagers, this time with a mix by Sam Gilly of House of Riddim. The 10’’ «So nicht!» (Not like that!) became the 2011 summer hit. After the electronic experiments of Max, So nicht! was mostly committed to a Roots-Reggae approach.

Signs now comes full circle and opens up new practices: Signs is a condensation of the homonymic number of the beat-boxing band Bauchklang from their 2010 album success, mastered by Falm (Formation ohne Name – FON).

Just like the preceding albums, Signs continuously sounds the depths of the relationship of the old and the new and oscillates between dub read as techno and roots riddims as practised minimal. «Signs», a socio-politically committed and driving Bauchklang number recorded with nothing but human voices, is submitted to an extensive transformation in Signs-10’’.

With its pitching beat, the bass monster «Snuggery Mix» bores into brains and hips like a virus. The mix purges the original number until a psychedelic maelstrom emerges which transforms the a cappella track into an electronic pressure chamber.

Gilly’s uptempo mix on the other hand creates associations with the sophisticated stoicism of bands like The Congos or Rhythm & Sound. The track treats the vocals in a more playful manner, enhances the dub atmospheres of the Bauchklangtrack, and the bass runs skilfully roll into eternity.

The constellation of musicians, producers, content and influences leavesno doubt: This 10’’ is something like a Lower Austrian tour de force. Alois Huber, Sam Gilly, Bauchklang and Falm are all local boys. And simultaneously, listening to Signs might suggest that Lower Austria is a province of Jamaica.

The operating principle of Signs is circulation.
