Alex Attias is a man of many guises. In the past decade the on the go producer from Lausanne has released a remarkable number of records under monikers like Beatless, Catalyst, Freedom Soundz or Mustang. Nonetheless impressive is the list of acts that called him in for remix duties: 4Hero, Joakim, Roni Size, Tony Allen, Ennio Morricone and Incognito. Most recently Dennis Ferrer picked Attias remix of Brifo’s “Mi Piano Rofo” for the In The House compilation on Defected and after the Rose EP on Num Records Alex is about to drop his second solo release for 2007 on Compost Black Label.
“Let The Rhythm Get In” is an exclusive unreleased track from the Mustang project to abridge the waiting time for the next album. The song was originally recorded with vocals but then Alex prefered the dub version for the Black Label release. The EP gets topped off by two dope remixes and some kind of generations clash. First up we got the Compost heavyweights Jan Krause and Michi Mettke – down since day one – reminding us that Beanfield is still a name to count on. The second remix is done by Quarion who made his debut on Compost just some months ago with his stunning Karasu EP on the Drumpoet Community sub label.
Alex Attias is currently working side by side with his brother Stephane on a more dancefloor orientated style than before. The project name is simply Attias and boasts with releases on Still Music, Reincarnation, Planet E and Freedom Soundz. Mustang will return with fresh goodies probably early next year.
