Oberst & Buchner – Doves (Alex Q Remix)

Vienna’s Schönbrunner Perlen label is an always interesting outlet that offers truly musical dance sounds.  Following on from a Various Artists EP and solo efforts from Lupo and Denis Yashin comes the labels 7th release from the Bavarian collaborators Oberst & Buchner, featuring vocals from  Mimu.

Their new single ‘Doves’ is a patiently building, hugely sensitive bit of house with punchy and playful drums alongside ethereal soft focus synths. Mimu’s breathy, stylish vocal inflections add an organic element to the track.  Alongisde this rich and powerful single are 4 unique remixes that add their own elements to the original.

It’s no easy task picking out a favourite track from this release, but for us the one that gives us the most goosebumps is the remix from German producer Alex Q.  The man behind the Kleinstadtfeeling and Farbton labels remixes Doves into a bouncy bit of drum led house. His textures are frayed, warm and organic and are rhythmically playful as the icy Mimu vocals layer over the top for an intensely rich piece of listening.  I can’t recommend this release enough, check it out when it drops on the 8th of September.
