Eat You / Ups & Downs Remixes by Eitan Reiter

The two-track record serves as a prelude to his forthcoming retrospective album "20," a collection celebrating two decades of creative milestones. For this edition, he invites two heavyweight names from the German electronic scene, each offering a distinct reinterpretation of his work: Patrice Bäumel and Extrawelt.

Patrice Bäumel, a German-born and Amsterdam-based producer often described as crafting "techno for grown-ups," brings his signature balance of precision and emotional restraint. Extrawelt, the Hamburg duo of Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe, is famous for their genre-defying approach and forward-thinking sound design.

The release opens with Bäumel’s reimagining of "Eat You", stretching across twelve minutes and fifty-two seconds. Despite its length, the piece unfolds with seamless momentum - psychedelic yet meticulously structured. Layered frequencies and evolving textures create a sense of continuous motion, immersing the listener in an alternate dimension. Bäumel preserves the emotional core of Reiter’s original while imprinting it with his own disciplined and hypnotic sensibility.

In contrast, Extrawelt’s remix of "Ups & Downs" charts a different course. Infused with elements of Electronic Body Music (EBM), their version thrives on unpredictability - trippy modulations, abrupt pauses, and oscillating rhythms that constantly shift the listener’s footing. The result feels like Reiter’s composition magnified and distorted, bursting with kinetic energy and a sense of controlled chaos.

More than a simple remix release, "Eat You / Ups & Downs" captures the essence of Reiter’s twenty-year creative journey. It not only revisits his past but expands his musical universe through the unique perspectives of two of electronic music’s most inventive artists.
