A few years ago, I discovered a great old tune by Sneaker Pimps. Following the usual trail of breadcrumbs on YouTube, from a garage version of ‘Spin Spin Sugar’ (the Armand Van Helden remix), then on to the original, I eventually came across ‘Post-Modern Sleaze’. Highly impressed, my inevitable need to do something with it’s ideas popped up once again and I began production of this track.

As you may or may not know, I really don’t like to sample other people’s work - it started off as a phobia and it’s now just habitual. It probably weakens the quality of my work, but at least I can say “I’ve done it myself”. So, there are no vocals and I cherrypicked my favourite compositional elements, leading to a typically repetitive and fairly limited electronic adventure.

The reason that I didn’t call this track a remix is because of the enormous difference in sound and feel between itself and ‘Post-Modern Sleaze’, however, I have signposted its roots clearly with the title.

I really hope that you don’t consider me a musical thief and I’d hope that if you do, then you’ll think of me as a well intentioned Robin Hood type - it’s all done out of love.

So, enormous respect/admiration/apologies to Sneaker Pimps, who I believe are back on the scene with some relatively newish material on SoundCloud. If you have a spare few minutes, why not go over there and give some love?

Oh, I must mention the title again and assure you that the ‘LA’ reference is purely coincidental (if you believe in coincidences) and the track was already bounced and titled before I knew that Sneaker Pimps are now apparently LA based… weird.

I hope this track spins your sugar. If it does, please ‘like’, comment and repost. Massive thanks in advance.

LA Sleaze

To quote Josh
"This is a song that began as a bass line I came up with on my four string fretless over a looper. I shared it with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four], Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), and Tez (Llanpsych) through BandLan, which we're all on. Ken came up with some perfect drums, as always, to prop up the whole thing. Tez added some killer guitar solos, which you can hear more towards the end, with the ripping tone. Stephen then came in and added the talk box guitar and wah guitar that you hear playing the hook more towards the beginning. It's my first song ever featuring a talk box, and I'm amazed with the part he came up with. It's a major line against my minor bass line. I love how it sounds! Stephen also was kind enough to mix the beast for us, which turned out to be a herculean task. But he was up to it, and a fine job he did, too. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with these guys. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it"
