Autotel’s Fatal proves flexible ground for reinterpretation, and the ongoing remix project The Tower Reimagined makes that clear. Two very different versions highlight how the same core material can be reshaped into distinct electronic languages.
Fatal (Remix by René Roco)
René Roco’s remix opens with a solid kick that immediately sets the track in motion. A rolling synth bass follows, steady at first, then breaking into irregular pulses with glitchy flourishes. Pads widen the space, percussion adds movement, and the track gradually leans into a more experimental phase without losing momentum. It sits comfortably in club territory while keeping its edges sharp and unpredictable.
Roco’s approach reinforces the idea that experimental production techniques still translate effectively on a dancefloor, especially when structure and sound design are allowed to evolve together.
Fatal (Remix by Serge Geyzel)
Serge Geyzel takes the track in a different direction. His remix begins with a more synth-led focus, easing into a slower, heavier groove. Low textures rumble underneath, while atmospheric layers gather gradually, creating a dense and immersive mood. Rather than pushing outright energy, this version works through restraint, letting tone and space do most of the work.
The result feels introspective but grounded, drawing attention to texture and pacing rather than forward drive. It’s a version that rewards close listening as much as repeated plays.
About The Tower Reimagined
The Tower Reimagined expands on a key track from Autotel’s album The Tower, inviting nine remixers from Europe and South America to reinterpret the material in their own language. Contributors include Analept, DJ Track, Aderacid, Mei, Lokom, Serge Geyzel, LLLIT, René Roco, and Vic Bang. Each version explores a different balance between rhythm, abstraction, and club functionality, making the release feel cohesive without sounding uniform.
Blending classical training, jazz influence, and a deep engagement with electronic production, Serge Geyzel brings a distinct voice shaped by releases on labels such as Mechatronica, Science Cult, Brokntoys, and ECU. His remix fits naturally within the project’s wider aim of pushing experimental electronic music into varied, practical contexts.
