The Rectange label "recycled" by Xavier Garcia.
Re/cycling Rectangle is a 7" series for which the label Rectange asked different artists to "recycle" its catalog. All the available records of the label were provided to them so that they could use them to create new tracks. More than a remix, it's really about making personal tracks starting only from existing material. Each one did it in his own way, by sampling, by superimposing... even by cutting the physical discs.
