With origins that stem from classical piano and ‘cello, Basek has been a fixture on the Australian scene for well over a decade. Basek has proven himself as a truly diverse composer and producer with his vast array of musical projects including; the Junkbeats label, 20for7, his solo work and studio collaborations. Basek’s original productions have always found their way into the box’s of the world’s most discerning DJ’s including John Digweed, James Zabelia, Phil Smart, Hernan Cattano, Robin Porter, David Duriez. His latest genre-defying EP is his first for Long Distance and hopefully the first of many. We at LDR fell in love with the cinematic "First Rain" immediately, so we're chuffed to have it as our second release alongside the J-Tech inspired "Tokyo". The package also includes a lovely deep remix from Chopstick & Johnjon from Germany's Criminal & Baalsaal Recordings; a solid main room mix from Australia's Nick Galea and an epic minimal reworking from newcomer Mortlock, who is certainly someone to watch out for in 2009.
