'Linoleum Actress' is the third single from the Little Nobody album Hard Foiled, released back in April. It is a twisted jacking and mutant techno offering. 'Linoleum Actress' defies any real categorisation except to say it is Little Nobody in full effect.
Releasing music for over 15 years, he is currently a favoured artist of Detroit legends Aux 88. This EP sees others turning their hand at remixing him.
The Deadstock 33s deliver a remix that takes only the underlying essence of the original and creates a version all of its own in a very clever way. The Deadstock 33s is the UKs Justin Robertson’s new psychedelic disco techno moniker. In the last year or so he has begun to define the Deadstock sound which is reminiscent of both his Lionrock and Justin Robertson works, yet something fresh and uncharted.
Paul Birken is a US techno hardware boffin who creates groove and nuance in his tracks with endless routing and re-routing of signal paths. He is well respected and supported by the underground techno artists of the world such as the UK's Surgeon. His remix is an industrial techno masterpiece, which should not be taken lightly.
Lastly IF? Records boss Sebastian Bayne seems to take things into deeper territory, but is somewhat thwarted by opting to use the most upfront synth parts from the original. What comes out is a big room sound that gets mind bending at its peak. Techno weaponry.
