Two aspects of Maison Fauna’s world collide on this one, as Bristol’s K-65 energetically remixes Durham-based Chainletter’s ‘Lyric St’. Originally a full on techno adventure, K-65’s interpretation introduces an urgent, driving and pulsing electro elixir to its veins, complete with flurries of timbral rides, whirling sound effects, and teasing builds tailored for the dance-floor.
