The latest in the series of remixes of 'Instability: Closer Than You Will Ever Be' sees childhood friend and long time collaborator of James's, Matthew Puffett being handed the keys. With his Future Beat Alliance moniker, Puffett has been a mainstay of the underground techno scene for the last three decades, having had releases on Tresor, Delsin and !K7.
Here he pulls the track into familiar FBA territory, with a finely tuned rework that heightens the more delicate elements before turning up the dial with a synth and string laden crescendo, replete with skittering percussive flushes.

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
