New York-based NOIR, the brainchild of Erik Gustafson, David Borsky, and dark alternative crooner Athan Maroulis- whose unmistakable vocals you might recognize from 
Spahn Ranch circa the 90s by way of Cleopatra Records- have released a new maxi-single. “Just Fascination” is an innovative reworking of the 1983 Cabaret Voltaire track. It takes the industrial chaos of the original and gives it a more polished and punchy spin, with the vocals up front and a tight, synth-heavy groove behind it. The remixes are a welcome addition, from the cold four-on-the-floor We Are Temporary mix, to the gothic funk NOIR vs. Push Button Press mix, and then culminating with a gritty electro dance mix by Aeon Rings. This is a must-have for DJs and for anyone else who wants to see just how many different ways you can do justice to a Cabaret Voltaire song.
