Supply Records returns with a seventh release which finds Will Martin make his label debut and build on the budding production partnership with John Barera, which commenced with a standout contribution to a various artists 12″ on Dolly last year. Much like “Reality” from that aforementioned release on Steffi’s label, the four tracks here commence on a disco flecked tip with “Awake” which is filled with driving soulful strings and cracking drums. Classic Rhodes punctuate “Say It Now” whilst the flip shows a different side to the pairing with “Unknown Factor” heading into stab heavy techno territory, whilst title track “Yen” displays Martin and Barera’s mastery of haunting atmospheres. Supply meets demand once again!

Previous remixes in the Nightmares on Wax 25th anniversary series – from the likes of Special Request and JD Twitch – have been fairly reverential, sticking to the sweaty spirit and sub-bothering bleep techno feel of the original material. Here, Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer take the opposite approach, turning in radical revisions that recast “Aftermath” as a minimal techno after-party anthem. There’s very little of the original present, though what is used – most notably the vocal, cut-up and reversed, plus a few notes here and there – is brilliantly woven into the fabric of their wonky, 18-minute Dub. Adventurous DJs should check the thrillingly odd Electric Jazz Version, which re-animates the track as a quirky tech-jazz wig-out of epic proportions.
