mockART thrives on collaboration. After inviting other artists to remix our album views || interrupted, we were fascinated by how radically different the results sounded on views || remixed – each remix standing confidently as a track in its own right.

That experience sparked a new idea: what if several artists reworked the same track? We chose La Bête Noire – a piece that has, over time, become something of a mockART classic – and handed it over to a group of diverse collaborators. Once again, the transformations surprised and inspired us.

The remixes don’t just reinterpret the original – they expand it, unfolding a kind of narrative. As the track evolved in the hands of others, it began to tell the story of the black beast in many voices and moods. Each version is a chapter in that unfolding tale.

The album is framed by our original version and a live recording captured during our performance at the Rush Hour Kulturfestival, curated by the Heussenstamm Stiftung in 2024.

This is La Bête Noire—remixed, reimagined, retold.
