Ambiq Remixed: Ricardo Villalobos - Tobias

• Track Listing

Ricardo Villalobos and Tobias Freund bring electro acoustic music into an alternative techno-environment with remixes of two tracks from Ambiq's 2014 self-titled album (AM 703 CD/LP). Max Loderbauer, Samuel Rohrer, and Claudio Puntin create floating states like those of Brian Eno or Moritz von Oswald, all paired with great groove sensibility, a superb human touch, and world-class mastery of their instruments. Villalobos's stripped-down, repetitive aesthetic reshapes Tund with constant bass, chimes, and other mystifying sounds captivating the ear. Freund creates a minimal and industrially brooding remix of Toxic Underground with eerie minimal twangs and a grating discord.
