“adaptations” is the first remix compilation from Melati ESP’s debut album hipernatural, featuring Salamanda, Kasymin (Gabber Modus Operandi), Air Max ’97, Tristan Arp, Sattle and Kaazi.
Seoul dream duo (and Melati ESP’s recent touring partners) Salamanda [Good Morning Tapes, Wisdom Teeth] open the collection with a wondrous, psychotropic reimagining of KITA VS MEREKA, deconstructing Melati’s hyperreal vocals and masterfully weaving them back together into a euphoric textural landscape.
NYC via CDMX via Detroit sound specialist and Asa Tone member Tristan Arp [SLINK, 3024, Unknown-Untitled] quickly steps up the pace with a spritely slice of deft dancefloor hedonism, reconstructing ANDA KATAKAN into a perky, pointillistic club-ready form, road tested on various systems and Boiler Room sets over the last few months.
Timedance wonderkid Air Max ’97 comes through with polyrhythmic percussive workouts and low-end artillery for ITU CUKUP! (That’s Enough!) sharing a sweet peak-time crossover tool, pairing Melati’s vocals with black hole subs in this unique bass-bin stomper.
Fresh off his recent collaboration with Björk, Kasimyn’s genius is on full display here as he offers a new vision from his usual work with Indonesian legends Gabber Modus Operandi presenting a delicate, long form and ultimately profound reworking of KUPU KUPU ELEKTRONIK (Electronic Butterfly) in which he masterfully reworks Melati’s original lyrics “dekolonisasi pikiran mu” or in English “decolonize your mind.”
hipernatural co-producer and founding member of Asa Tone, Kaazi [Leaving Records, 100% SILK] re-imagines INTUISI as a sensitive spectral multiverse, pairing Melati’s delicately cracked vocal with deep space lows and crunchy saturated fractal electronics, crucially suited for the after hours, backrooms, 5am sets, et al. “Somewhere between home listening and the club.”
Rounding out this diverse collection across various styles and continents, Javanese-born Bali-based upcomer Sattle (Plumbah) dives into an exquisitely produced 10 minutes of liquid DnB euphoria, effortlessly moving across hypereal 160bpm moods and half time breaks in this sparkling, ecstatic rework of DI ATAS.

“Logan Takahashi caps off a dynamic year that saw the producer and one-half of Teengirl Fantasy release his debut solo album, NoGeo. An album set to its own unique pace, NoGeo was an opportunity for Takahashi to bring listeners into a world he built from the ground up. For NoGeo Remixes, Takahashi provides a wide canvas for Sporting Life and Kaazi to reinterpret two of the album’s tracks. Sporting Life takes “Cella” head on, injecting the single with an even amount of bounce, while Kaazi polishes “Kazoku Ogawa” into a dance floor contender, giving the track a deeper bottom end and an extra ounce of melody.”
