For their 62nd release, Edu Imbernon’s label Eklektisch drop a very special one from the duo Far&High. ‘(Ur Under Total) Digital Control’ reflects the frightening world of digital dystopia shown in the literature of the middle of the last century. The oppressive atmosphere of total control through the use of Big Data tech and the once free Internet has become a reality today. The works of Orwell, Huxley, Gibson and other authors have had a great influence on modern culture and largely predetermined the modern reality in which the authorities are able to use pervasive digital technologies not only to ensure security but also to suppress the individual and persecute any unwanted dissent.
Musically, all of Far&High’s work, and this track in particular, was most influenced by the music of the 80s and 90s. Here you can distinguish both the electronic coldness of The Chemical Brothers and the electro-funk from Daft Punk. Remixing, German duo Avidus takes the original elements from Far & High “and create a new timeless rave track with a certain melancholic vibe people might know them for”.
You can now listen to the full premiere of Avidus’ remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
