Rhian Sheehan (@rsheehan) & Arli Liberman present a new imagining of their track ‘Specular’, reworked by producer and synth architect @Zukebeats. For this remix, Zuke reshapes the track into something deeper, heavier, and rhythmically charged.

Originally appearing on the collaborative album Traces - an instrumental journey blending electronic, ambient and post-rock textures, ‘Specular’ was the most overtly-electronic piece on the album. For the remix, Zuke has reshaped the track into something deeper, heavier, and rhythmically charged.

From the outset, a rich low-end establishes a brooding mood before the drums enter with a subtle dub-steppa pulse - not quite dub, but carrying the same deep-system energy. Where the original version of ‘Specular’ floated weightlessly through shimmering atmospheres, Zuke’s remix grounds the track with a deeper physical presence. Rolling breakbeats emerge throughout, drawing on jungle-inspired rhythms while maintaining the depth of the original.
