Almost exactly five years to the day since her critically acclaimed ‘Techno Monkey’ EP first did its damage across international airwaves and packed, sweaty warehouses, Berlin-based artist and Kuukou Records label boss Simina Grigoriu now looks to breathe fresh life into one of the most iconic record in her expansive career discography, as she announces a ‘Techno Monkey’ remix project of colossal proportions.
Over the course of this year, Simina Grigoriu and the Kuukou Records team will be releasing a total of nine huge remixes of the 2016 original, brought to you by a carefully curated selection of the most exciting names in electronic names, new and old. The campaign launches with the first star-studded EP, which comes complete with an eclectic trio of contributions from electronic music royalty, Paul Kalkbrenner, American techno maven Camea and Kuukou Records favourite, Hito.
Speaking about the project, Simina Grigoriu commented: “I love that this project has come to fruition—it’s been a long time in the making. My original Techno Monkey track was part of the first EP I released on Kuukou six years ago. I was a bit wary of releasing nine different remixes of my original but I was also excited to see what everyone would do with it. Each artist has brought his or her personal flavour to the project and I’m super excited to share this with you guys!”
We are presenting the remix from US-born, Berlin-based techno sensation, Camea. With an array of diverse releases clocked on the likes of Bpitch, M_nus, Plus 8, Get Physical, Clink Recordings and her very own Neverwhere over the course of her esteemed fifteen-year career, the über-talented artists finally makes her long-awaited debut on Kuukou, as she re-paints Simina Grigoriu’s ‘Techno Monkey’ with her own frenzied palate of dystopian, sci-fi electronica.
‘Techno Monkey Remixed Vol. 1’ EP will be available after the 7th of July HERE.
