Over the past decade, Sasu Ripatti, better known as Vladislav Delay, has released a series of sonically exploratory and innovative albums and singles under his Luomo, Uusitalo, and other guises (including his current stint as an integral part of the Moritz von Oswald Trio), working with labels such as Chain Reaction, Force Tracks, Mille Plateaux, Staubgold, and Leaf, etc.
Slightly lost in all that shuffle over the last ten-plus years was one of his earliest projects under the name Sistol, recorded for and released by Phthalo Records back in 1999.

In the wake of news that Ripatti has remastered his earliest album for a deluxe 2CD reissue, pubs like Pitchfork and Resident Advisor have already posted excitedly anticipatory news of these 2010 releases, including an all-new full-length CD. But first up, prepping audiences for these two albums, is our Sistol (Remakes) 12” EP, featuring current-day contemporaries of Vladislav Delay’s dancefloor productions. The 12” features reworkings of the 1999 material by 2010-era techno and electronic luminaries such as John Tejada, Carsten Nicolai as Alva Noto, FaltyDL, and [a]pendics.shuffle.
