ABS Remixes by EKS-port: A Fusion of Electronic Styles Across Borders

On July 1st, 2013, the first release of remixes for the track ABS was unveiled to the world, drawing from the second album 7788 km/h by the innovative EKS-port duo. This remix project stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of electronic music, blending global influences and styles. With contributions from Piotr "Kromproom" Krompiewski, co-founder of EKS-port, along with remixers Dubtron from India and Vulturius from Poland, ABS Remixes delivers a multifaceted take on the original track.

ABS (Radio edit)

The release kicks off with the radio version of ABS, a more condensed, yet punchy take on the original. Though shorter, it retains the core energy of the track. The beat is powerful and irresistibly danceable, resonating with a breakbeat intensity that hooks the listener from the start. The track's theme centers around car safety, symbolized by its title, referencing the anti-lock braking system (ABS). MC Else lends her voice to the short, catchy lyrics in English—“When you drive a car, watch out on the ice”—which are also repeated in Czech and Polish. This mix of languages adds a unique multicultural touch, making it a strong, breakbeat-driven anthem.

ABS (Vulturius remix)

The second track is a remix by Polish electronic music producer Vulturius. Known for his expertise in mixing genres such as drum and bass, dubstep, and ambient, Vulturius delivers a remix that seamlessly fuses drum and bass with dubstep. His distinctive underground style is evident, though he smartly incorporates a touch of commercial sound, ensuring the remix appeals to both hardcore fans of electronic music and the mainstream audience. The remix is a sonic journey through space, with Vulturius demonstrating his skill in balancing frequencies and creating a dynamic, energetic atmosphere.

ABS (Dubtron remix)

Dubtron, an electronic artist from India, offers the third remix, infusing ABS with his signature style, which blends elements of reggae, jungle, retro, funk, and breaks. His remix is a dancefloor-ready track that maintains the fast-paced energy of the original while introducing a new layer of groove. Dubtron’s use of delay effects on MC Else's vocals adds a compelling twist, giving the remix a unique texture. His remix stays true to his artistic roots, showcasing his talent for crafting engaging, energetic tracks perfect for the dancefloor.

His remix stays true to his trance-inspired style, with pulsating beats and hypnotic loops that create a powerful, immersive soundscape. As co-founder of EKS-port, Kromproom brings a deep understanding of the track's essence, making this remix a fitting conclusion to the release.
