plaid remix of "relics" is something i either discovered through my good friend jan henrik or on discogs, probably both in combination. it did spark my interest as it deals with a favourite type of remix as mentioned in my entry on king britt's remix of "do something". plaid was much more known as making nice weird techno and electro but they were offered to put their spin on this photek production.
certificate 18 asked a number of artists from different fields of electronic music to do remixes and most notably it included auteche's remixes of lexis' "hypnotise", two lone swordsmen's remix of klute's "silent weapons" and this one. most of the remixes were gathered up on a compilation called "the widescreen versions" and is well recommended.
"relics" in it's original formation is known by this hypnotic melody sequence and these dubby organ stabs along with thunderous subbass hits. plaid's approach was to work the song into a spookier track and flipped some of rupert parkes melodic parts. the main sequence is looped and the pads are taken in for a bigger role as well as the groove being much more rhythmic than photek's luscious amen onslaught.
it's such an original flip on a track that is dripping of ideas and angles already, to take a bit of each and set them in new sections is brilliant.
