Mike Storm’s tenth album landed on Ben Sims’ Symbolism imprint with the same hardware-driven aesthetics that have defined his work across Axis and Warm Up. There was no software sequencer, no recall, just the spontaneity that comes from making sound in the moment. Now material from it gets reworked, firstly by Ø [Phase], who flips ‘Exo 1606’ into something full-bodied and thumping. After the original cut ‘Blocks’ comes a Deniro remix of ‘One Colour’ that is wrought with pent-up tension that never resolves, while a send remix strips things back to a lonely groove that has wispier synths up top and a growing sense of unease.
