Future Self’s “Open” is a masterclass in remix diversity
Share This Article
Future Self returns to Self Control with Open, an EP that treats their previous sound as a starting point, not a finish line. The original mix is all patient pressure: clean drums, a steady climb, and that classic sense of motion where the payoff feels well-earned. Self Control have a knack of starting with something beautiful and taking it for a ride with the remixers.
As promised the remixers widen the frame. Revan joins the family after meeting Future Self at Revan’s studio Height Sonics. He is one half of Ill Truth and currently in full flight across the drum’n’bass world. He drags Open into sharper focus, swapping the glide for a modern Bristol snap that hits harder whilst protecting the hypnotic core. Mentat, the London producer with a modular-heavy workflow, takes the scenic route, reworking the parts through a live jam approach that lands somewhere between breaks, circuitry, and dusky late-night headspace.
Three versions, one idea: keep it open, keep it moving, and let the room decide where it peaks. Ship shaped, if only partially Bristol fashioned.
