“Slow Uppercut (The Soviet Union Remix)” is a track by Andrew Claristidge and Workerpoor, remixed by The Soviet Union. This remix transforms the original ambient and robotic piece into an intergalactic workout, featuring pixel-thin synths and punk-funk drums that are both visceral and direct.
Listeners have praised the track for its energetic and nostalgic feel, with one user commenting on its “pumping synths with a very 80’s kinda vibe,” and another noting it as “the best modern italo disco” they’ve heard in a while.
The remix is part of the “Slow Uppercut” EP, released on May 24, 2019, by Night Noise. The EP includes other tracks and remixes, such as “Strength Training” and versions by David Carretta, Cristiano Roberto, and Tales of Voodoo.
