Do you remember ‘filter house’?

Denis Karimani aka Remute certainly does. 

The term sprung up towards the back end of the nineties to describe the mainly French sound of a crunchy analogue filter chomping on an ceaselessly repeating sampled loop. Or in other words, producers hearing ‘Homework’ and wanting some of that sweet action.

Better known as a purveyor of inhumane, messed-up minimal, Remute has been there or thereabouts for the last few years, minus the breakthrough track that would prick up the ears of an entire scene. 

And while ‘Ouahahaha’ certainly won’t please en masse, it’s a track that smacks of a Miami moment that has yet to play out.

A stuttering synth line lulls you into a false believe of the tracks intentions before the floor crumbles under foot and you fall, feet first into a bygone musical era.

The whirring aesthetics of the aforementioned sub genre envelop the entire thing, while Remute-like electronic flourishes vie for attention amid the disco chaos - think Bel Amour’s ‘Bel Amour’ with some added Germanic clout.

Be sure to snap this up on it’s 24th March release so you can can claim to have been there at the beginning of this latest revival.
