Nick Höppner's latest for Aus is Characteristically Chic and Sleek

Grab an exclusive listen to the Ostgut Ton artist's remix of "Harmonise" by Will Saul and Komon.

Aus release more music than pretty much any other label on earth, which is great if you, like us here at THUMP, are really into club-ready house music that comes in as many flavours as those new fizzy drink machines you get at places like Five Guys. You know the ones we mean; the contraptions that let you rot your teeth in an amazing array of ways. The modern world is brilliant!

Their latest 12" sees imprint-owner Will Saul working alongside long term label favourite Komon on the fantastically lithe "Harmonise," a rollocking roller that's more suited to greenhouses than warehouses.

The B-side sees a pair of big, big remixes. The first comes from Juju & Jordash who take things down a slightly more acidic path, leading us to imagine what exactly would happen if one was to feed a venus fly trap a tab or seven of good, strong acid? Presumably very little, really, but don't EVER deny yourself that kind of flight of fantasy. Plants on drugs…imagine!

Moving swiftly on, the other remix comes from one of the classiest men on the circuit—Mr. Nick Höppner. As you'd expect from a man whose productions and DJ sets redefine the idea of "chic, sleek, European house and techno," he's turned in a reworking so effortlessly cool that repeated exposure has the potential to freeze you to your own sofa. We reckon it's worth the risk.
