Stave Interpretations by Standards & Practices
Standards & Practices is proud to present "Stave Interpretations” — remixes of original material by Stave, featuring Israel Vines, Patrick Russell, Ken Meier, Karkossyn, and YŌKA.
The first interpretation comes courtesy of Patrick Russell — who, in addition to being a visionary DJ, has proven himself to be a terrific remixer and producer in his own right — contributes a version of "Drum Four" that is arguably one of his best to date: a sinuous, grimy excursion into unknown waters brimming with atmosphere and menace.
Following Russell, Krohn himself brings us a disintegrated, alternative take on "Drum Three."
Karkossyn, aka Bristol native Tavis Hitchcock, is easily one of the most thrilling discoveries we've made as of late. His split EP with Stave ("New Values" on S&P) is only his second release to date, and both devastating interpretations of “Relearn/Forget” on display here, two juddering, broken beat behemoths, hint at even greater things to come.
Newcomers YŌKA contribute a suitably monstrous, industrial-tinged version of "Drum Two."
Veteran DJ and producer Israel Vines, who recently released a pair of brilliant EPs on Tresor — including a superb collaboration with Camille Altay as CAIV — uses a fast-paced, halftime approach to rethink “005", full of energy and an almost unbearable, nerve-jangling tension.
And finally, S&P co-founder Ken Meier, who recently completed a triumphant solo venture on our sublabel Double Standards ("Imitable Behaviors”), delivers an 85 bpm version of “002" that turns the original on its ear — all terse, clipped sonics, stripped to the bone with lush pads that add cinematic sweep and grandeur.
