To celebrate the release of On the Bright Side (PHC04) – just recently declared by publications like Resident Advisor and Pitchfork as some of noted techno stalwart Sasu Ripatti’s (Vladislav Delay, Luomo) most propulsively energetic material in the past few years – Halo Cyan has taken Sasu’s new full-length album and asked some of electronic music’s biggest current names to have their hand at re-imagining what the album’s “ur-disco pattens and textures” might sound like when filtered through the lens of techno, dubstep, and hypnagogic pop.

On two collector-caliber, 180g, deluxe-pressed 12″ releases in Halo Cyan’s “On the Brighter Side” remix volumes, we’ve included reworkings by Redshape and Jori Hulkkonen. The first, Redshape’s remix of “(Permission to) Avalanche”, has the German producer run the original’s synth lines through an exaggerated series of 4/4 kickdrum punches and breakbeats. Sasu’s fellow Finland countryman Jori Hulkkonen takes “Contaminate Her” and adds a slew of additional melodies and elastically thick bass elements.
