REMXNG

Copy is an old friend of ours from Portland, OR. He’s a criminally underrated electro producer, with releases on Audio Dregs. In the past he has remixed rap and R&B songs (he devoted whole mixtapes to remixes of Bone-Thugs and R. Kelly) so we hit him up to contribute to our project. Copy’s “Summertime” is just so funky. This guy gets the groove just right. It’s brilliant.

It’s a huge honor to have had Thom rework this track. After alt-J mentioned liking our music in an interview a few months back, we contacted them and they asked to trade remixes. You can hear our version of  “Hunger Of The Pine” on their SoundCloud page (soundcloud.com/alt-j/story-4-sleeplessly-embracing-a-remix-by-clipping). We dig the weird skittery rhythm of Thom’s “Inside Out”. He’s a really sophisticated percussionist and his remix has such an alien sense of time.

For those who might not know, Xanopticon is one of breakcore's most admired artists. We've been a fan of his for years. His dense, micro-edited drums are deep and overwhelming (and beautiful) in the same way we think blasts of harsh noise can be. In this sense, he's something of a kindred spirit.

We met Schwarz at an early Clipping show in a terrible bar in Fullerton, California. He was DJing gangster rap and Baltimore club tracks between sets and he was pretty much the only artist there who the drunken locals didn't totally hate. Since then we've been following the man's career as he gets more and more (utterly-deserved) attention. Bmore is one of Clipping's favorite regional sub-genres so we reached out to Schwarz for a remix, and he delivered this incredible take on "Tonight." Hope it gets some play in the clubs. Maybe drunken locals at shitty dive bars across the US won't hate it.

Kanga is a promising young producer/beat-maker/singer/writer/everything. Definitely check out her stuff for some cold gothy pop. Her take on “Body & Blood” is clubby and danceable but at the same time totally eerie. Hard-as-fuck beats and the vocals are on some summoning-occult-demons-type-shit.

RP Boo is a goddamn legend. We are so honored that he wanted to do this remix for us. Footwork — the genre he (arguably) invented — is known for its jittery, hyper-active rhythms, and RP’s flip of “Tonight” showcases his signature drum programming skills, transforming our hook into a Chicago house-party-ready sex anthem. We sincerely hope this track gets somebody laid one day.

Rind is the solo project of singer/musician/artist Lee Relvas. Relvas composes and performs solo operas, and also produces a wide array of visual work (drawings, paintings, comics, etc.). When she agreed to do this remix, we asked her to please make sure she sang on it, at least a little bit, because we love her voice. And she really delivered with this slowly creeping interpretation of B&B, which builds into a powerful vocal crescendo.

Terminal 11 is an amazing breakcore artist—seriously, he’s got records on Phthalo, Cock Rock Disco, and Hymen—who was once the sole audience member at a Clipping show in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was embarrassing, but he’s a nice guy and he agreed to do this remix for us anyway (maybe out of pity).

It’s a cliché to say that somebody needs no introduction, but sometimes it’s true. Sleeparchive’s "Hospital Tracks" was a massive inspiration to us. That album taught us that if you painstakingly build four perfect sounds, a track might only need four sounds in it. We don’t necessarily always take this advice ourselves, but it remains a core tenet. It’s an honor to have been remixed by this guy. This track should be on vinyl.

Cooling Prongs is Christopher Fleeger—a musician, composer, field recordist, documentary filmmaker, foley artist, uh… sound guy for comedy shows in LA, and so many other things. He contributed several of the unusual nature recordings heard in our song “Dream,” including the buzzy microphone interference caused by electric fish in the Amazon river. I don’t even know how to describe his remix of “Ends”—it’s an insane piece of pop/concrète with an epic sense of scale. Fleeger is a mad genius.
