What happens when two long-time friends and partners in sound once again switch roles in their creative playground? After CUBIC had completely reimagined “The Colour Temperature” into the acclaimed “Cubic Temperature” album, it is now Passenger S of 808 DOT POP (also one half of cult vintage synth act METROLAND) who takes on the challenge of reshaping CUBIC’s “Back to Basic” into a brand-new sonic entity: “Back to 808”.
This is not your average remix album. Loaded with CUBIC’s original stems - kicks, hi-hats, bass sequences, and effects - and fused with freshly recorded melodies, sequences, and samples, “Back to 808” elevates itself into something more profound: an 808 DOT POP album in all but name.
Faithful to the band’s trademark DNA, “Back to 808” unveils a more melodic, intricate, and immersive dimension of CUBIC’s work, prioritizing the listening experience over the dancefloor punch. It’s a seamless blend of retro-futuristic synths, vocoder textures, and electronic storytelling rooted in the aesthetic universe of 808 DOT POP.
Across 11 tracks — from the transformed “Art In,” “Human Computer,” “Offline,” and “Titt,” to the exclusive “2MFHD” - every piece has been reimagined with meticulous precision. The result is a hypnotic, conceptual voyage where technology and melody intertwine, celebrating both the past and the future of electronic pop.
Visually, the album artwork stays faithful to the retro-commemorative C64 aesthetic of “Back to Basic”, yet cleverly adapts to reflect its rebirth under the “Back to 808” identity.
A conceptual collaboration, a respectful reinvention, and above all a celebration of friendship through sound, “Back to 808” is destined to delight every fan of 808 DOT POP and lovers of finely crafted synth music alike.
