Funkstörung: Laid Out Remixes – 12-INCH SINGLE

Remixes of Laid Out, the first single from Funkstorung’s 2015 self-titled album (MONKEY 059CD/LP), featuring Anothr on vocals. Anstam’s genius remix stacks various rhythms on top of each other; it’s bubbling bass drone at the center and fractured synthesizer arpeggios create a hyper-futuristic dance track. Mouse on Mars continue fleshing out bass music until it funks; their remix is somewhere between UFO trap and synthesizer footwork, and it’s the heaviest banger here. Both Funkstorung themselves and Alex Banks turn the original into a smooth, euphoric track fit for the dancefloor but not too focused on the primetime.
