With a range spanning dark danceability to chase scene adrenaline, Cardopusher has seen non-stop releases of high quality lately. This newly available track is no exception with its tumbling and dynamic drums, each clearly defined as the opposing sides it seems to evoke. While Badawi’s original runs lost in a spiral of dark caves full of reverberating despair, Cardopusher’s version finds hope in revolt. A technified menace makes itself known from the hills with distant melodies, while a fight to keep an oasis of the heart from desertification fills the veins through rhythm. The remix was given out as a free download last week by The Index, a New York based label run by Badawi (now known simply as Raz Mesinai) and Dub War’s Dave Q. Index just dropped an EP by Machinedrum called Nastyfuckk. Cardopusher also saw a new single hit the streets earlier this week on London’s DVA Music. (Art by Peter Skwiot Smith.)
