In the autumn of 2008 Ostgut Ton released Shed’s debut album "Shedding The Past" to critical acclaim from various sides. The unerring folks at Resident Advisor even made it their favourite album of 2008.

Considering Shed’s approach to Techno, the choice of remixers on here is only logical. Both Surgeon and Martyn are protagonists of the current Dubstep/Techno cross-pollination breathing new life into the more sophisticated dj sets these days.

Anthony Child aka Surgeon from Great Britain is shaping his serious and futuristic Techno sound since the mid 90s. As part of the British Murder Boys and as label owner of Downwards, he furnishes his DJ sets with Dubstep, complimenting his dark and industrial take on Techno perfectly with bloodcurdling basslines. Although Surgeon sticks to a thumping 4/4 kick on his Shed remix, the tricky beat programming as well as the bassline make for a rather unique and "broken" flow.

Coming from the other end of the same spectrum is Martijn Deijkers aka Martyn. Starting out as a fervent Drum’n’Bass head (and producer) he evolved into one of the main forces shaping the Dubstep/Techno fusion on his 3024 label. His remix of "Another Wedged Chicken" transforms the original into a compelling dancefloor affair complete with broken beats, vocal snippets and a murderous bassline. As thew saying goes: Two killers, no fillers!
