The EP will have remixes from Edit-Select and Regis amongst others and be released December 13 everywhere and Nov 30 digitally via Beatport. I think there's plenty [...]

Given the renaissance that glitchy, ambient electronica has enjoyed of late with the likes of Gold Panda , Mount Kimbie , and Seams garnering widespread laudation, it'd be all too easy to gloss over the perennial ability of Boom Bip to fling forth similarly blissful joy.
