Tel Aviv’s Ran Slavin invites you into the twilight with "Thunder Cookies", a remix EP where the duo behind the moniker Ahal Eden & Nik Spiv (collectively Thunder Cookies) take two pieces - “Fragile Fantasy #4” and “#3” - from Slavin's earlier "Radiances" album and reforge them into something darker, more visceral, yet eerily lucid.

If Slavin’s originals floated on vaporous textures and glitch-laced atmospheres, these remixes resurrect them in full club mode. Think dub-techno’s head-nod alignment meets glitch minimalism’s off-kilter sensuality. Each remix district feels like a neon-lit back alley at 3AM, where bass mutters secrets and fragmented vocal snaps feel confessional.

On “Fragile Fantasy #4(Remix),” the fevered bass pulse and steely percussion hook you immediately - this isn’t ambient daydreaming but a mood for the visceral. The texture is both raw and refined: ambient fragments peek through - testaments to Slavin’s original signature - but here they’re re-contextualized as shadows in a nightclub cavern.

The remix of "Fragile Fantasy #3" is even more hypnotic. Nearly ten minutes of rolling bass, cracking hats, and fractured ambiance waiting to swallow your map. It’s the kind of track where the pulse becomes your heartbeat, where minimal variation turns obsessive, where deep listening becomes compression-resistant ritual.

What’s thrilling about Thunder Cookies’ approach is that these aren’t polite reinterpretations - they rip the originals apart and glue them back together in brand-new forms. It's deconstruction with purpose: the ambiance is preserved, but the mode is now physical, bodily, uncompromising.

Ran Slavin, a multimedia artist based in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, works across sound, video, and cinema. Though much of Slavin’s ambient work is slow-burning and introspective, this remix release proves his material flexes into the dance floor too - just let someone else press the pedal.

Fans who've followed Slavin’s Nocturnal Rainbow label - especially his "Fragile Fantasy" cycle - will see this as a bold detour. For the uninitiated, "Thunder Cookies" is a sharp, nocturnal intro: twisted enough for underground tastes, clear enough to hold your attention.
