The Downwards label precede the intriguing release of a new album from multi disciplinarian Russell Haswell with this remix release brandishing wildly different reinterpretations of the Coventry based musician’s work from William Bennett, Kevin Drumm and label boss Regis. Haswell and Downwards seem like a good fit given the former’s long career of boundary pushing music across labels as varied as Editions Mego, Warp Records and Carlos Giffoni’s No Fun Productions, while the latter have remained uncompromising in the direction of their release schedule. It’s a rare occasion when you can identify a Regis remix as the most accessible contribution to a release, but that’s certainly the case here, with the Downwards chief delivering a twitching, loopy techno workout of “Chua Rave,” while Whitehouse founding member William Bennett – another former collaborator of Haswell’s – has remixed “Harshing” which is quite aptly described by Downwards as a “stereo head f*cking, brain floss session”. This is surpassed in the “skin crawling brutal sonics” stakes by the minute remix of the same track from the Chicago-based experimental musician Kevin Drumm.
