Tracklist: CV313 - Skycrossing CV313 - Skycrossing (Federsen Dub) Federsen - Skyway Federsen - Skyway (CV313 Dub) Repressed! Echospace Detroit’s CV313 aka Stephen Hitchell joins forces with Federsen for the second instalment on the latter’s newly minted Alt Dub label. Over the past decade and a half San Francisco based artist Federsen has been making his mark on the dub infused techno and house sound, delivering his vintage tape delay and analogue gear driven sound. Here both artists remixing each other to run alongside their originals across the 12’’. CV313’s original mix of ‘Skycrossing’ opens with eight and a half minutes of deep soundscapes, spiralling dub echoes, muted drums and a subtly unfurling feel throughout. Federsen’s ‘Dub’ remix of ‘Skycrossing’ then follows, offering a more refined and reduced feel with subby pulsations and crisp drums intertwined with dubby fragments of the original tracks. On the flip-side Federsen’s original ‘Skyway’ leads, employing a sturdy rhythm section with nuanced dub echoes and rumbling low-end swells. To conclude the release CV313 offers up his ‘Dub’ interpretation of ‘Skyway’, stamping his mark on things with phasing atmospherics, intricate oscillations and fluttering percussion. VU Staff Comment - D'Arcy says, 'Couldn't wait to get this on the deck. Insanely good hypnotic deepness here, with all the right repetitive beats, warm bass and additional noises to fly around the dancehall. All about the CV313 'Skycrossing' original and Federson dub for me. The only problem is both tracks end.....eventually.'
