Tri Angle Bi Post No. 3 - New remixes of two Holy Other tracks

The Bleep exclusive tee

As you may or may not know, we have a little tradition going here at Red Cup of posting two TriAngle releases together. We like to call this (almost) feature Tri Angle Bi Post (check out the first and second ones too). It seems that while a TriAngle has three sides the label's good news usually come in two.  This time the good news came in the form of a Bleep exclusive digital compilation (check out the exclusive tee shirt too) of the online shop's favorite tracks from the label's roster plus exclusive remixes of two Holy Other tracks.

First up is the label's latest signing The Haxan Cloak and his remix of Holy Other's "Feel Something" off the "With U" EP.  The remix is multifaceted and changes direction a number of times starting off in ominous territory and then back to eerie minimalism.  Listen to it below:

Next up is Andy Stott's remix of Holy Other's "Know Where".  Here the sound of the original is further degraded with a resulting cheap sampler/dusty organic cavern feel.  The rhythm is driven and hypnotic, the sort of primal techno Andy Stott is know for. Listen to it below:

Tri Angle Bi Post No. 2 - New songs from Holy Other and Water Borders

Good things come in Tri Angles.  In our second Tri Angle Bi Post, the label that changed everything offers up two new tracks, both remixes, that are definitely worth our attention from Holy Other and Water Borders.

First up is Holy Other who, with a short yet incredible back-catalogue and an equally impressive array of eclectic remixes that rarely leave much of the original intact is back with another remix (have a listen to his recently posted remix of  Walls’ “Sunporch”, compare it to the original and you’ll see that this man is as faithful to the tracks he remixes as Aphex Twin famously was i.e. not at all).  This time, our favorite Tri Angle artist offers up an impressive rework for Black Dunes’ “This Will Destroy You”.  Don’t know about that but this will definitely leave you asking for more:

Next up is Water Borders, who we discovered late yet we’re glad we finally got on board thanks to that quaint and perfectly odd mix for Dummy magazine that we reposted not too long ago.  Have a listen to the excellent remix of their track by Machester based Damu.  The resulting sound is a carousel whirlwind of bleeps and electronics featuring a snare sound that is so delicious it would be worth a listen even if it wasn’t  heroically chopping though all that atmosphere. Listen to it or download it here:

Stream: Walls - Coracle LP

Go ahead and listen to 'Coracle', the latest and greatest album by Walls, in its entirety.  If you've been reading this blog you might have noticed we've been raving about stand out track "Sunporch" as well as its Holy Other remix for a while now.  Listen to the entire album below or oder it here:

Holy Other - With U EP

Holy Other is back with the EP "With U" which you can listen to in its entirety here and even download some of the tracks for free.  His sound is usually described as witch-house but could more appropriately be described as syrupy ghost-hop (term affectionately coined by Red Cup).  Holy Other uses pitched-down vocals to an unsettling effect and like many of his peers borrows heavily from the sounds of chopped and screwed hip-hop.  However, where Holy Other stands out is in the relatively high production quality and the sheer catchiness of the tunes.  Don't be suprised of you find yourself mimmicking in song the barely audible words to the track "Your Touch" in a ridiculous slow motion voice.
