TROY PIERCE (aka Louderbach, Slacknoise and one third of Run Stop Restore with Magda and Marc Houle) unleashes one of the year’s most anticipated tracks with ‘25 BITCHES’. The original track goes back a while, coming into creation as a joke composed while stuck waiting in an airport. Not like humor is never ever a part of Troy’s music or persona, ‘25 Bitches’ has been knocking down doors in his and fellow DJ’s sets like Magda and Richie Hawtin since last fall. Pierce’s bass-heavy mix starts off full of dark ghosts, working into a dub bassline and surgical mix of effects and vocals. Remixers for Volume I stepped up to the challenge with steam and force. Detroit’s BERG NIXON moves two ships in the night, colliding his vibes in the razor-sharp edit on side A that swells and ping’s while shifting to his more melodic and animated B side version with Berg’s ‘ZigZag remix’. MATT JOHN hits the chip from Berlin with his ‘25 Pitches’ remix. Matt slices thru the bassline by creating a new intimate close-up version with a monotone pulse and subtle sneak-attack. Both remixers deliver the energy for DJ’s and dancefloors while also working in subtleties for deeper listening.
