Squaric :: 808 [Remixes] (Diffuse Reality) — [concise]

A masterclass in refined experimental bass’n breaks, where each remix pulses with precision, yet vibrates with raw, unconstrained energy.

A new dimension of sonic exploration

Easily one of the most seismic remix collections of 2025, Squaric‘s 808 [Remixes] thrusts the legendary Roland TR-808 into overdrive, unleashing a stunning array of raw electro, breaks, rave, and techno reimaginings. Featuring a formidable lineup of artists—ADJ, Data Assault (x2), Ian Martin, Interdimensional Warlock, Jauzas, Jin Cromanyon (x4), Nasty King Kurl, and Transparent Sound—the EP delivers an exhilarating collision of infectious rhythms, intricate electro-nics, and dark, fidgeting soundscapes. From Jin Cromanyon‘s four re-workings that draw from Kraftwerk’s mechanized allure, to ADJ’s electrifying sonic barrage at the start, each track unfolds a new dimension of sonic exploration. Jauzas adds a rugged, high-tech frenzy as Ian Martin infuses gritty funk into the mix, while Transparent Sound‘s closing acid-techno juggernaut brings the intensity to a fever pitch. Nasty King Kurl pushes the boundaries with punchy, overloaded techno, and Interdimensional Warlock’s remix sends the whole collection into a relentless, turbocharged climax. This is a masterclass in refined experimental bass’n breaks, where each remix pulses with precision, yet vibrates with raw, unconstrained energy.
