Surgeon - Muggerscum Out Remixes (Soma309D)
As far as we are concerned, Surgeon is quite simply royalty in Techno. He has made and played music as he likes, disregarding traits and trends, for 15+ years. Over these years he has worked with the likes of Regis (as British Murder Boys) and more recently Ben Sims (as Frequency 7), making records that have been a corner stone of the Birmingham Techno scene. Shortly after Surgeon had broken through with his eponymous debut EP, Magneze, on Downwards circa 1995, the original Muggerscum Out was released on Soma Records.
A strictly British selection of remixers work this hidden gem in the Surgeon and Soma catalogues. The Black Dog offer two mixes of Surgeon in their archetypal heavy, Northern style, while London’s Perc and Glasgow’s Alex Smoke turn Muggerscum Out in their own unique way.
Perc’s broken beat remix twists the original into an even more aggressive track (if that is even possible!) A mammoth kick drum sits on deep sub bass, while claps and cracks fill the holes in between these monstrous beats.
