POW! // Hannes Fischer

Berlin’s Hannes Fischer appeared here before on Mahogany under the pseudonym RLYNX for his spanking Foster the People remix and through these consistently brilliant remixes, he’s become a SoundCloud phenomenon!

His record collection is broad with a clear penchant for the urban category based on the two bootlegs below. Firstly taking on Souls of Mischief’s most famous ditty for a minimal yet bassy instrumental and secondly with Alicia Key’s Rock Wit U which flirts with the vocals in a way that sends shivers down the spine.

Alicia Keys – Rock With U (Hannes Fischer Remix)

It’s get’s even more interesting when the likes of another Hannes favourite Fleet Foxes gets the treatment for what he describes as ‘hippie indie house’ which is new to us but with production as tight as this, I’m happy to call my first child by the bloody term!

The lessor-known HeadMoov get a minimal sub-tropical reworking in the highest tech house fashion (this one might be my favourite!)

HeadMOOV – The Deep Look (Hannes Fischer Remix)

I hear you, we’ve heard the remixes – now let’s hear an original as well!

Hannes Fischer – Identify

What Hannes Fischer is doing isn’t unique, but it’s brave and confident and each track is painstakingly devised and approached. It’s a German trait to be meticulous and logical and this guy’s a prime example, which is the reason he’s the Producer of the Week and probably the Bootleg Producer of the Year!
