Expanding on 2020’s album Mirage, Ben Lukas Boysen shares his brand new follow-up EP Clarion featuring remixes from Kiasmos, Mogwai and Foodman.

Containing two brand new tracks from the Berlin-based electronic composer and producer, plus three very special remixes from Erased Tapes label mates Kiasmos, Hyperdub producer Foodman and Scottish post rock legends Mogwai, Clarion picks up where Mirage left off.

“Hearing how Kiasmos tamed the somewhat rough nature of Clarion and elevated it to a focussed and highly energised dream-like state made my day when I first heard the remix.

The floating and driving rhythm of this version distils the original into a luxurious percussive meditation,” Boysen says.

About the making their remix of the title track, Kiasmos' Janus Rasmussen explains: “Sometimes remixes can be a joy to work on, especially when the original material is as strong as this one. Immediately after hearing the stems, the idea of the remix was so apparent. It was almost as if the song had already existed in this remixed form. The main melody is so catchy yet intriguing that it's a perfect fit for a Kiasmos remix.”

The remix of 2020 album track Love was crafted by Stuart Braithwaite of Scottish post rock band Mogwai.

“To have Mogwai join the team of remixers felt like a badge of honour. I knew their music even before I was making music myself and to have the minds and instruments of legends reworking one of my pieces, especially in the imaginative way they did, makes this release more than special to me,” explains Boysen.

“I really loved reinterpreting Love. It’s a wonderful piece of music and it was an honour to remix it.” — Stuart Braithwaite, Mogwai

Clarion is out now both digitally and in a limited 12” vinyl edition.
