Carl Craig aka Paperclip People’s original ‘The Climax’ is in and of itself a certified alltimer - perhaps the most impactful breakdown and drop in all of electronic music, but Basic Channel’s re-shape (is it the only time they remixed someone else as Basic Channel?) - builds the whole thing from the ground up, flipping the rhythm into a sort of woodblock trotter shot with deadliest dub chords - a logic-defying display of kicks and aquatic washes that kills, every time.

'Remake' Basic Reshape from 1994 relates to "Remake Uno/Duo", Carl's sample-based re-interpretation of Manuel Göttschings epochal E2-E4. Basic Channel take a radical, abstract, sample-free approach with a slow motion movement weighed down by that multilayered sound sphere.
