Bicep – Satisfy (John Talabot’s Alt Mix)

Barcelona native John Talabot – who has released a string of exceptional remixes and original pieces over the duration of his career – is back on the map with a swirling alternate mix of the track he just recently remixed for Bicep.

While Talabot’s original remix of “Satisfy” is a gem in its own way, it’s the alternate mix of his remix that really steals the show. Arpeggios attack the track and elevate it to cosmic heights while the downbeat percussion, which is to be expected of Talabot’s production style, litters the ambience with a much needed sense of drive. The end result is a moody, mysterious hypnosis that slathers its techno sensibilities in rich velvet producing a novel contradiction that’s both infallibly organic and remarkably cybernetic in tone. This particular mix really does aim to “Satisfy.”

You can download the alternate mix for free via Bandcamp.
