Not being familiar with Void Complet in the slightest, I approach this package with an oopen mind, rather in the spirit of one of today’s teenagers being asked to review anything by peak Public Enemy. Remix packages are often hit and miss, but that’s the glory of the digital platform You take what you want innit. Anyway, as far as my early Tuesday morning brain is concerned, this is quite good. There are three versions of ‘D’Acid’ which, I’m pleased to say, all sound quite distinct from each other. I particularly like ‘ Void Complet’s 6am Refix’, which takes the track in an energetic, tranced out direction. The ‘ LDLDN Darkness Mix’ does what it says on the tin, being a dense piece of sonic warfare, while the ‘Slow Assembly Remix’ is a stripped back, bare bones on break beats banger. Kassian’s remix of ‘ Picture This’ is excellent. A bass-heavy, apparently baile funk influenced piece of rampant tribal tension. (Checks note. I love baile funk, while knowing nothing whatsoever about it). ‘ Nortworks Deconstructed Dub’ is the sound of molecular dissonance trying to reconstitute over a fragmented surface of sound, and ‘1011 90M1(Zoid Tazer8 Remix)’ utilises break beats over an undulating bass mattress to come up with something which is  an immersive, improvised piece of off key drunken jazz. Lovely stuff.
