The latest release from Years of Denial <\/strong>is one of those albums that needs little introduction. Suicide Disco 2<\/em> was, in our opinion, one of the best LPs of 2023, so the source material was already tremendous. Add to that a lineup featuring some of electronic music’s most prominent artists – from the legendary The Hacker <\/strong>to heavyweights such as Kris Baha<\/strong> and Phase Fatale,<\/strong> – and you have something special. There is also a strong representation from VEYL Records, one of the most distinctive and tasteful labels in dark electronic music today. The label is represented by one of its key figures, Maenad Veyl<\/strong> alongside Velvet May.<\/strong> The digital version includes Supreme Low<\/strong>, the project of Jerome Tcherneya himself, who released an EP in 2022 with a curious mix of darkwave and hip hop. Suicide Disco Vol. 2 Remixes<\/em> was released in October last year and features six remixes, two more in the digital version: in addition to the aforementioned Supreme Low<\/strong>, the great Geistform<\/strong> does his magic to “Art Break”. As usual, we’ll focus on the vinyl version, which we have in our collection.<\/span><\/p>

Years of Denial<\/strong> had already remixed The Hacker <\/strong>in the past, in a superb remix that appeared on Barro 004<\/em>. Now it’s the legendary French DJ’s turn to tackle one of the duo’s tracks. Michel Amato makes a smart choice with \u2018Lover’s Crime\u2019, one of the best compositions of the original album, turning it into an irresistibly danceable track with his signature touch. Kris Baha<\/strong> hits the mark with his choice of \u2018Wrong\u2019 delivering a remix in his EBM techno style. Although he is now more focused on the music he makes as Ghost in the Machine,<\/strong> here he returns to the sound we’ve always loved him for. The A-side closes with the hardest-hitting track, a dancefloor-ready version of \u2018City Lights\u2019. Its creator, Phase Fatale<\/strong>, has likely already tested it during his Berghain sets. Never<\/strong> (Stefano Santi’s project that released a cassette on VEYL three years ago) and Maenad Veyl<\/strong> offer another take on \u2018City Lights\u2019 that couldn’t be more different from\u00a0Phase Fatale<\/strong>‘s. Their powerful remix explores the track’s darker, more unsettling elements.\u00a0Velvet May<\/strong> (who released a highly recommendable album on VEYL this year) handles the next remix, reconstructing the track through his industrial vision – my personal favorite of the collection. The B-side concludes with the excellent Codex Empire<\/strong> bringing his characteristic force and darkness to ‘Regarding the Pain of Others’.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
