If the concept behind Arash Safaian's "ÜberBach" – winner of a 2017 ECHO Klassik Award in the 'Classical Without Borders' category – was to compose music in which one could hear Bach without Bach actually being present, then the release of "Mondholz: Remixes & Canons" develops the idea further still. With two original tracks and two remixes by renowned electronic producer Hendrik Weber aka Pantha Du Prince – who jokes Bach's music is in his genes since it played in his parents' home before he was even born – it finds Weber "applying the rules of Pantha Du Prince" to Safaian's work. As Safaian says, "The poetry of this record is, for me, that the universal architecture of the canon is combined with the principle of dancing."

For both artists, it's a perfect pairing. "I always had the sense he'd feel similarly about Bach," continues Safaian of Weber. "I consider Black Noise one of the best electronic records, and hear in his music an encrypted polyphony, which has an originality one only knows from nature. He was my first and only choice for collaboration."
