Ciel's "Deja-vu Dub" of RITA BASS' "Shaped Curve" turns the original left-field pop meets emotional drum and bass track into an affective concoction of IDM and breakbeat drum programming meshed with the original encompassing vocal harmonies. She presents a more club-oriented focus perfect for Summer sets in festivals across Australia and murky dance floors across Europe and the Americas. Ciel says on the remix:
"What I like about 'Shaped Curve' is the UKG-inspired drum breaks so I used that as the inspiration behind my remix. I love working with vocals but I prefer to treat vocals like an instrument and not focus too much on the lyrics. I removed some of the more in-your-face vox with lyrics so that we're left with only the backing vocals which I think gives the remix a dreamier vibe. The concept that began to develop as I worked on it felt very organic, and was as much shaped by the source material as it was by myself. What we have here in the source material is a piece of electronica with strong trance and hardcore vibes, and so I set out to make a remix that was like a trancey UKG track, and something that would sound really beautiful as a closing song in a DJ set. I hope people enjoy playing and listening to it as much as I liked working on it".

Everything Octo Octa releases is just delicious. This EP is especially important as part of the profits are going to SRLP. In an increasingly anti-trans context, uplifting and supporting trans-led orgs is of utmost importance. And you can do so by listening to great music and supporting an amazing artist! éloi
