Ten Years Behind the Scenes


Keeping anything alive for a decade is worthy of a kudos—but when it comes to club culture and dance music, 10 years is an admirable milestone indeed. For Indigo Raw, it represents another opportunity to bring in the left-field, high-grade dance inducers. And this time, the raison d'etre of IR's tenth anniversary release is a certain infamous duo known as Midnight Operator.

Centered around the eponymous creation by Nathan and Mathew Jonson, Behind the Scenes EP is an ode to the kind of off-kilter, moody techno the pair have become infamous for. And on this particular occasion, we're taken for a journey in more than one sense. Equipped with a classic Jonson bass line and a scant little phrase that carries the track all the way through the end, Behind the Scenes is a lesson in transmutation. Sombre beginnings undergo a gradual shift into dancier, sunnier territory—until we are left with the impression that we've tuned into a channel that runs all the way through hills and past Martian wildlife. From dark to light, the brothers lift a veil to reveal a resolutely ecstatic piece of work. One that, in arriving at a very different place from where it sets out, earns all eight minutes of its wandering.

In continuation of the jubilee excursion for this anniversary release, reworks of the flagship track have come in from across the globe.

From south of the equator, AtomTM delivers an assertive piece that takes the darkest aspects of the Midnight Operator original and, with the help of a relentless stream of stabs and a sped-up beat, brings them into the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Nerosky—as in Nerone & Fosky—try their hand at it from within the confines of a smoky Catalan studio. The result is a fuzzy old school banger that celebrates the original's melodic phrasing.

Finally, the palate cleanser comes courtesy of label head Mirus and pal Eviltapes. Atmospheric to the max, this downtempo creation puts the slow-moving cherry on our excursion.
