Filterwolf's debut album Music From Tomorrow has been received very well for its fast-paced electronica with reminiscence of Kraftwerk and Carl Craig, combined with sampled oriental and middle-eastern Burial-esque vocals. The lead single Nocturne, with its initial remixes by Bodycode, Corrugated Tunnel and Olibusta got airplay from Huw Stephens (BBC Radio One), Eddy Temple-Morris (XFM London), Paul Hamill (BBC Radio Ulster), Alexander Theory (Kiss FM Melbourne), Dave Mothersole (Proton Radio) and on Berlin's BLN.FM.
DJ Rob Warner in New Zealand issued a "Total Bomb Alert" for the single Nocturne, whilst Michael Stukes from WHCR called it "Pretty fuckin' daring and amazing". Hrdvsion called it "Pretty booty melodic hump" and the Bodycode remix of Nocturne was featured on XLR8R, Happy Please and the Anji Bee Chillcast. The entire Get The Curse crew from Paris got behind Olibusta's excellent remix of the track. And it inspired Munich's Koto Kodama to create a sexy video around Nocturne.
Now it's time for the second set of remixes, each of which gives a very different direction to Nocturne. First up is dub KULT, the man who released Filterwolf's very first release on his Living Records label. He has been somewhat quiet recently, but his Nocturne remix is as deep as we would expect from him.
The second remix is by Partikel from Zürich in Switzerland, who released his debut EP on Plexo Solar last year. This slowed down version, with lots of unusual instrumentation, is strongly aimed at the back room and after-parties. Then it's Argentinian Luciano Benz's turn, who turns the track into a fantastic latin american salsa monster. And closing the ranks is Obsidian from California with a mega Drum-and-Bass remix.
