One thing many people don’t realize about Battles drummer John Stanier–despite his stints powering the pistons of much more muscular bands like Helmet and the Mike Patton side project Tomahawk–is what a huge techno head he is. He’s so into the music, in fact, that we had him DJ a Battles/Black Dice after-party a few years ago, a task he pretty much owned for an entire hour.
As it turns out, Stanier is tight with the folks at Kompakt and was actually living in Germany the last time we checked, cutting a Cologne ‘supergroup’ record with the Field, Ada, Jörg Burger and a few other label staples in 2010. So it indeed makes sense that Stanier marked Battles’ new remix collection (Dross Glop) with a proper FACT mix this morning, one that includes a trio of unreleased Hudson Mohawke tracks and exclusives from Michael Mayer and Junior Boys. Grab it below, alongside the full tracklisting…
