Algiers have been one of the most progressive and forward thinking groups of the past years and they are a tremendous live experience. So when a band like this launches a remix competition I’m naturally interested but I was especially scared this time. How do you approach a tune like their latest single “Irreversible Damage”, a chaotic and twisted political call to arms… one that even features the legendary Zack de la Rocha? 

Luckily that pumping acid bassline provided a bit guidance for me. My remix ended up being a bit faster, louder and more twisted than what I usually do, following the disturbing character of the original. It became a good outlet for my frustration - in a similar way the music of https://soundcloud.com/algiers often provides. They got a new album called “Shook” ready which drops on February 24 … plus they are probably playing a town near you this spring so make sure to catch them live.
