In the space of two short years, Shlømo has quickly established himself alongside the likes of Marcelus, Bambounou, Francois X and the Antidote Records crew as a key figure in Paris’ current techno generation. Having established his own Taapion Records label in 2013 and built a roster around a core of local producers including Roman Poncet, PVNV and Antigone, in addition to enlisting Stephen Brown, Conforce and Sterac as remixers for the label’s releases so far.

For its fifth release, Bright Sounds – run by fellow Parisian Kennedy Smith – revisits last year’s Rechaïm ‎EP (BSRX003), with a trio of remixers offering their own takes on Shlømo’s established deep and expansive sound.

First up is the aforementioned 50 Weapons artist Bambounou, who offers a dynamic groove-based version of the title track that bounces along with an elastic kick drum with cut-up fragments of the original’s atmospheric pads providing further impetus. Label owner Kennedy Smith takes on Theory Is The Worst by bringing its dub textures to the for while filling the track’s empty spaces with intricate drum patterns.

Finally, Italian techno pioneer Donato Dozzy turns Grounded Queen into a classic Dozzy slow-burning techno trip, with his trademark layered sound complimenting the track’s subtle rhythmic backbone.
