Just recently, we wrote about his latest tracks with<strong> Neon Electronics<\/strong> and his remix for <strong>Luc Van Acker<\/strong>\u00a0and he\u2019s already recorded a new digital EP released today on Dancedelicd. The new composition from the Belgian musician is titled &#8220;Running Up the Hillside&#8221; and comes with two remixes, one by <strong>Mass Formation Audio<\/strong> and another by <strong>Formshift<\/strong>. This track is another proof of the incredible creative moment that the former member of <strong>The Neon Judgment<\/strong> is living. It\u2019s a catchy tune, in line with what the Belgian musician has been doing solo lately, a bit more industrial this time, featuring some great guitars and a groovy bassline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Together with the main track, we have two remixes that are definitely worth mentioning. Let\u2019s dive into a bit of information about the remixers: <strong>Formshift<\/strong>, the EBM project of Dutch artist Gavin Bucktrout (previously known as <strong>D-Spirit<\/strong>), has collaborated with <strong>Dirk Da Davo<\/strong> before on his single &#8220;Crash\/Overtime&#8221; (2016) and the album <em>E-Society<\/em> (2018). We took the opportunity to revisit them before writing this review, and we can say they have stood the test of time. For this single, <strong>Formshif<\/strong>t presents a blend of raw and aggressive techno that will make you dance. As for <strong>Mass Formation Audio<\/strong>, it\u2019s the new project of Matt Brock (active since the nineties and known for his dark electro band <strong>Dicepeople<\/strong>). With this new alias, he released a four-track EP last year titled <strong>Authority<\/strong>, which is not bad at all (we recommend checking out &#8220;Automaton&#8221;). In his remix, filled with intricate details, he brings the track into his sonic universe, blending EBM and industrial, and making <strong>Da Davo<\/strong>\u2019s distinctive voice almost unrecognizable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Dirk Da Davo: Running Up The Hillside  (Mass Formation Audio remix, 2025)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UrHKqVxIyQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a busy year for Dirk Da Davo!!!
