Played by: Juno Recommends Downtempo

Review: Blindsmyth's "All That Fiberglass" album, released in February 2022, has been met with much love from fans and DJs alike, with several tracks finding their way onto playlists and charts. Connaisseur, known for their remix releases following an album, has once again curated a diverse collection of remixes for Blindsmyth's originals, now being released in four parts as 'Refiberd Vol. 3' The first installment of remixes is led by Norwegian duo Ost & Kjex, who deliver a banging remix of "Connection Error," infusing their trademark blend of techno, electro, and disco to create a standout track with a demanding bassline and relentless energy. Adding some bouncy deep house vibes, South African-based producer Deep Aztec brings a feel-good and danceable remix of "Delete Your Cloud," masterfully weaving together melodic basslines, organic percussions, and infectious vocal samples. NORLYZ takes "Uberfahrt" to new heights with an electronica/breakbeats version, creating a mesmerizing journey through intricate beats, atmospheric textures, and captivating melodies that seamlessly blend into a sublime and immersive sonic experience.

Refiberd, Vol 2

Played by: Juno Recommends Deep House

Review: Last month, Connaisseur delivered a tidy, three-track EP featuring remixes of cuts from Blindsmyth's 2022 album 'All That Fiberglass'. This partner release features another trio of inspired revisions of tracks from that set. The mighty Adana Twins step up first, brilliantly re-imagining the album's title track as a moody, bass heavy peak-time house workout featuring suspenseful synth strings, vocoder vocals and ear-catching piano riffs. Schtu's rework of 'Die Tiefe' is a deep, drowsy and atmospheric tech-house treat with tactile melodic flourishes aplenty, while the Borneo revision of 'Remember The Days' is a sweet, glassy-eyed treat in which gorgeous chords, subtly soulful vocals and twinkling pianos rise above a densely percussive house groove.

Refiberd Vol 1

Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech, GATY LOPEZ

Review: Since 2014, Simon Schmidt aka Blindsmyth has been a freelance artist, producer, live act, and DJ based in Berlin. His latest release comes out via Frankfurt's esteemed Connaisseur titled Refiberd Vol 1, which features remixes from his second album All That Fiberglass that came out last year. The inimitable Floyd Lavine delivers an Afrofuturistic techno funk rework of "Remember The Days", Macho Cutie's Shit Disco Mix of "Transhuman" takes the track into elevating territory with its rich tapestry of melodies and 303 acid underpinned by tribal rhythms, plus there's Imperieux's off-kilter and experimental Reconstruction of "Emotion Per Byte".

All That Fiberglass

Review: Sometime Diynamic Music contributor Blindsmyth (real name Simon Schmidt) is renowned as a musical explorer, with his various releases to date flitting between styles whilst remaining rooted in electronica and dusty, experimental synth-pop. All That Fiberglass, his second album, continues in this vein, sitting somewhere between the heady, off-kilter electronica of James Holden and Jon Hopkins, the opaque synth-pop bliss of the Junior Boys and the kind of melodious, semi-glitchy tech-house that's so prevalent right now. It's a successful musical blend all told, with the album's flow and feel enhanced by Schmidt's occasional excursions into both ambient melancholia and James Blake style experimental pop.
