Sound System Aberration S02E04

A favourite song can continue through a version that eventually matters as much as the original. This SSA episode is built from memories of such remixes: Dylan Rhymes works with Evil Nine, Ashoka & Marscruiser with Hotei’s Battle Without Honor Or Humanity, and Poxymusic & Kid Kenobi with Ferry Corsten. Rennie Pilgrem through Plump DJs, Soul Of Man, JDS, Moloko and Sarah McLachlan through Hyper follow.

All twelve entries of an October 2016 selection returned in the 2021 programme. All Out closed it with his own I Know, a response to Hybrid’s music from the 1999 Wide Angle, an album of personal importance to him.

Two forms of attachment meet in that ending. First, a favourite version is kept and played for others. Later, original work can take a place beside it. Within one selection, the distance between those moments becomes part of a long acquaintance with the music.
