Rabit Delivers A Scorched Remix Of Bloom’s “Quartz”

Few instrumental grime tracks have had a bigger impact on the form’s creative renaissance over the last few years than Bloom’s “Quartz,” which first surfaced back in 2012. Mr. Mitch‘s Gobstopper label has re-issued the track on vinyl, complete with a never-before-heard remix from Houston-based producer Rabit. The Tri-Angle signee holds nothing back, turning Bloom’s crisp, discrete square waves and gunshots into a charred mess. You can still perceive the pulsing outlines of Bloom’s synths flaring beneath layers of distortion and crackle. The original sounded like a gleaming, impossible future engine—Rabit’s version conjures images of a half-broken machine buried in the rubble of a bombed-out factory, still churning out mis-shapen products onto a smoking pile.

Stream the track below, and grab the vinyl over at Gobstopper’s site. Don’t miss Bloom’s recent Bjork remixes, either.
