2-Jozik Dubatron remix
3-Tevo Howard remix
4-Andre Crom remix
5-Thomas Lagner remix

Released last year on Anjunadeep, Dusky's brilliantly diverse "Stick By This" album put them on the map as one of the most exciting outfits around. Described as "a beautiful album - one of the albums of the year" by Pete Tong, the LP gained BBC Radio 1 support from Rob Da Bank, Toddla T and Tong himself, as well earning rave reviews in DJ Magazine and on Resident Advisor.

Having since further cemented their position on the deep house scene, with EPs like "Henry 85" on Will Saul's Simple and the huge "Flo Jam" EP on Dogmatik, Dusky's album now comes under fresh focus thanks to a series of remixes.

On the first of two special remix EPs, this house and deep techno focussed collection takes in reworks from jozif (Crosstown Rebels/Culprit), Chicago's Tevo Howard and Berlin's Andre Crom (OFF Recordings).

Taking on the soulful "It's Not Enough" feat. Janai, the fast rising jozif delivers a slow-burning, bittersweet deep house groove full of musical depth and texture - available in both Voxatron and Dubatron form. A cult legend in underground circles, Chicago's Tevo Howard twists out a raw analogue and true school electro reshape of the lush deep house classic "Lost Highway".

Fresh from recent EPs on Freerange, Exploited and his own OFF Recordings label, Berlin's Andre Crom smooths out the classic "Lost In You" (feat. Janai) into a hypnotic twilight house groove. Rounding things off, fast-rising Polish producer Thomas Langner brings an infectious, clubby deep house groove to "Falling".





Dimitri Kechagias review: Summer is coming slowly to its end but just before we say goodbye to the finest season of the year will be perfect idea to go for a nice late night beach party to swim naked and dance a long with the summery deep house remixes of Dusky's tracks taken from their groundbreaking album Stick By This. First of all Jozif presents two great alternatives for vocals and non vocal lovers. His remix  on It' not Enough is a hypnotic deep tech house track with lounge and chilly atmosphere in the breakdown and amazing deep basslines and funky laid back drum beat with that jazzy dark edge that brings goosebumps and help to release all the pressure from inside and feel the erotic vibes coming from the speakers and taking us over and away. His Dubatron remix is stripped down alternative vocaless but still high quality from start to finish. Tevo Howard remixes Lost Highway and what he does with it must be heard to believe it. Superb percussion programming that is so groovy that will act as magnet and will bring many on the dancefloor waving their bodies hear and there feeling the soundwaves splashing in their ears. Andre Crom put his magic hands on Lost in You and he recreates the track in a very cool deep tribalish tech house version with silky basslines and great build up towards its final  part that includes repeated vocals and little piano lines to add a latin feel to the track as well. Last but not least Thomas Lagner remix of Falling is another top notch version that transforms the original into a deep house version with acid overtones and rave old school piano riffs as well giving the track a balearic acid house appeal. Highly recommended. Love it!
