Review: By now, it's perfectly normal to think of Illum Sphere as an OG; the artist has been involved in the modern 'bass' scene since the inception of the term 'post-dubstep' into our minds and, over the years, he's come up with nothing but quality tuneage for all sorts of club DJs. That, of course, has been the beauty of contemporary dubstep since day 1. This time he's only around for a cameo, because his recent Glass LP on Ninja Tune has received the proper remix treatment from a squad of unexpected remixers and auteurs. Horror-show techno specialist Beau Wanzer gives "Fuel The Fire" his trademark treatment - this time an eerie techno wormhole fit for nightmares - and Machine Woman follows up with an equally sinister, mid-tempo techno experiment. Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being drops his usual cocktail of distortion and funk on us, in his remix of "Red Glass", whereas Govsborg's version of "The Journey" lingers to an outsider framework, and Fotomachine's take on "Wounded" offers some old-school Detroit business that recalls the likes of Ron Hardy's edits of Leron Carson's bangers. BIG.
