**Transparent Vinyl - Individually numbered edition of 300 copies** Vatican Shadow and Lakker provide remix reinforcement for the killer debut from Berlin's Tommy Four Seven and Alain from One Million Mangos Mastering as These Hidden Hands. Their original 'Ivy' is heavily informed by the romantic dystopia of mid-late '90s IDM and D&B's grander gestures, gazing out on drizzly grey north European synth skies whilst the reduced tech-step torque ticks and prods like a not-so-dystant cousin of Raime. Flip it and Vatican Shadow charges the atmosphere with a more driving intent, rolling out with ruggedly offset kicks and jabbing hi-hats whilst keeping the funereal goth-techno ambience intact but more elusive, buried just out of reach in the mix. The techiest of the trio, Lakker remind of 'Tri Repetae' era Ae with a more broken, complex take revolving splintered drums and amorphous bass shapes ranking among their best. (Boomkat)
