# EB Premiere: These Hidden Hands Remixes II
It goes without saying that we like, no, *love* austere techno around
these parts but sometimes austerity becomes a little... wearing. It's
those producers who can bring a sense of subversion to the rigid,
unyielding sonics and bruising timbres that really catch our attention
now (see also the [Fifth Wall][1]{: target="_blank"} stable). The
pairing of London-Berlin transplants [Tommy Four Seven][2]{:
target="_blank"} and [One Million Mangoes][3]{: target="_blank"}
founder Alain as [These Hidden Hands][4]{: target="_blank"} exemplifies
the latest wave of the new brutality. Friends in the UK before they made
the move to Germany, the project renews the junglist rhythms of their
youths with touches of nineties IDM and, of course, the [breeze block
industrialism][5]{: target="_blank"} that Tommy Four Seven was releasing
on CLR way before severe techno was *de rigeur*. This month, a cache of
artists began the task of remixing their excellent self-titled debut,
with *Remixes I *presenting de- and reconstructions by [Marcel
Dettmann][6]{: target="_blank"}, SHXCXCHCXSH, and Old Apparatus. On
December 2nd, the second instalment is released, and we've got the
exclusive premiere right here. On it, Uwe Schmidt in his [Atom™][7]{:
target="_blank"} guise, Raster-Noton's [Kangding Ray][8]{:
target="_blank"} and kindred dark spirits [Ancient Methods][9]{:
target="_blank"} set to work. The results, we have to say, are
staggering. Be the first to hear them, above.
[][10]These Hidden Hands' Remixes II *is released on [Hidden
Hundred][11] on December 2nd, 2013.*
