Another slice taken from Elninodiablo's latest solo effort, "Body Electric" EP, the wild and sizzling "Vaugahyde" gets thorough rework treatment from a wide-ranging array of remixers in the persons of John Tejada, Emperor Machine, Aurum Miles, Theus Mago and Matisa. Turning the original's cucumber-fresh bounciness into a further subdued parade of ankle-breaking moves and fractalised dub tropes, John Tejada shows us how it's done and in what dextrous, intuitively genius manner. Frenzied electronic signals flex it alongside inch-perfectly programmed drums, and Tejada has us rafting across ruptured sine wave rapids and into a pulsating kaleidoscope of flickering shapes and motifs.

In the hands of Aurum Miles "Vaugahyde" morphs into pure EBM/New Beat filth, as the rhythm picks up and distorted arpeggios entangle with eerily cold vocals, casting a spell of veiled menace upon the dance floor. Getting jiggy with the more disco-friendly side of Elninodiablo's base material, Matisa reels out a proper chugging, feelgood belter of a revamp: a hi-NRG cocktail of sexed-up Chicagoan vibes, soulful vox stabs and unrelenting loops of Roulé-compatible filtered house-ism.

Theus Mago's refix opts for a more progressive yet weirdly unpredictable approach, taking "Vaugahyde" out for a ride in oddball techno territories with its heavily FX-drowned piano stabs and obsessive landslide of crisp clicks, bleeps and cracks. Last but not least, the Emperor Machine dishes out a symphony of early computer-era P-funk grooviness, Californian beat and micro-housey experimentalism, squeezing as much disco juice out of its robotic workforce as it has you dreaming of cruising down palm trees-lined avenues in your freshly painted, bouncing low-rider. One for the outerspace Gs.
