Scissor and Thread presents Tailored Cuts, Vol. 06, a four-track selection accompanying the digital compilation album. All four tracks appear on vinyl for the first time.

Opening side A is a new and exclusive dub version of Soela & Module One's “Drowning,” remixed by Matthias Reiling (one half of Session Victim). Originally taken from Soela’s Dark Portrait album, here the piece is reconfigured into a spacious, hypnotic dub emphasizing texture, atmosphere, and a patient groove.

“I have been a fan of both Soela’s and Module One’s music for quite a while now,” comments Reiling, “so getting the chance to remix their collaboration from Soela’s beautiful Dark Portrait album is a huge honor. I tried to keep the elegant and somewhat tender synth work close to its original spirit and combine it with simple drumkit samples, acoustic guitar, electric bass and a dash of space echo. The process put me in a slightly eerie, yet romantic mood, which, so I hope, translates a little when listening to the result.”

Also on side A is Black Light Smoke's “Love Triangle” in the ZG remix, a lush and restrained reinterpretation balancing warmth with rhythmic precision.

On side B, Hidden Spheres' remix of Francis Harris' “Earth Moves” featuring Eliana Glass appears alongside DaRand Land's “Passion Motion,” taken from his Wander Being album: “a more upbeat journey, with melodic nuances driving the ‘passion.’ Personally, it’s my take on some mid-90s Chicago sounds,” comments DaRand Land.
