Most honored to even have the chance to put my spin on this beautiful piece of love by two of my all-time favorites. Sincerely hope yall dig it. I played all the guitar work, drums sampled from Shawn Lee, and grateful for my man Reed Mathis, coming through in a rush and laying bass on it night before the deadline for submissions.
Blessyall!

UPDATE: The winners of the DJ Shadow remix contest have been announced! I'm not one of them, but it was great to hear the ones that shadow picked. So glad Archive's Waltz version was in the ranks, played that on my KCRW show on Wednesday. I'm not bummed one bit, everyone who Shadow picked killed it in their own way, and since I only set out to make what I consider to be a beautiful song... I feel successful in that. BLESSYALL for voting, and all the kind words. Now that it's over I can give it away for free. Enjoy.

Sorry for saying the "n" word. I'm not from the US and didn't know how offensive it can be, even if it is the actual lyrics.

Learn Your Lesson (Photay Remix)

'Talking Drum'

‘Dirty Hercules’ is the fierce new single from Sydney based future-folk/soul artist Ngaiire (pron. Nighree). The lead offering from her highly anticipated debut album Lamentations (due out June 2013) — an album partly written in an obscure little drinking bar in the suburban outskirts of Tokyo, Japan — ‘Dirty Hercules’ is a commanding entry into the music world; Ngaiire’s peculiar vocal arrangements and rare sense of soul, reminiscent of vocal greats gone by, setting her well apart from other singers. 

The song speaks of the vast aberrations of the darkness, the sex, the lies, the money, the drugs that detract from the reality of our own core conditions. It sheds light on the towering ugliness of our ailing covetous nature, the misinterpretations of strength and the journey of acceptance that no two people can have the same story. 

Featuring friend and future-soul darling ‘Nai Palm’ of Melbourne band Hiatus Kaiyote, ‘Dirty Hercules’ sees Nai add an additional depth that charters bottomless profundities exclusively championed by Questlove, Erykah Badu and Gilles Peterson. Nai’s husky vocals lay further assault to the hard-hitting dub step-esque bridge before rolling into a harmony-thick outro — a Ngaiire trademark and one that constantly challenged even a 48 channel Pro-Tool session come mixing time. 

Co-produced by Ngaiire, Sydney bassist Tim Curnick and Japan based beat maker and pianist, Aaron Choulai, ‘Dirty Hercules’ exemplifies what is to be expected from Lamentations. Showcasing Ngaiire’s great attention to vocal detail and layering as well as her love for musical aesthetics, and Aaron’s distinctive, Japanese-influenced electronic glitch and piano work, Tim’s pop sensibilities and production mastery are at the fore as Curnick balances perfectly the live and electronic components of Ngaiire’s music. Together the three along with Ngaiire’s drummer Ross Ferraro tracked ‘Dirty Hercules’ in Tim’s parent’s beach house in Jervis Bay, mixing it (and the rest of the album) in a Tasmanian mountain studio shack with mixing virtuoso Chris Townend (Portishead, Silverchair, Violent Femmes). 

Standing on the triple j’s 2010 Next Crop list alongside Kimbra, Lanie Lane, and The Jezabels, Ngaiire was born in one of the last great frontiers of the world, Papua New Guinea, migrating to Australia at just 16. Since then she has been building a reputation for herself as one of the country’s most recognisable and dynamic vocalists and performers combined with her love for uniquely flamboyant stage attire. 

Moving to Sydney after a brief stint studying for a Jazz degree at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Ngaiire embarked on a long period of touring overseas and in Australia with roots collective Blue King Brown, mentor and electronic maestro Paul Mac and gypsy jazz outfit Monsieur Camembert lead by ostentatious front man and Camelot venue owner Yaron Hallis. 

Years later the need to focus on her own pursuits caused Ngaiire to quit the road and settle back in Sydney where she could discover and build herself as an artist. Journeying from folk soul to jazz hop to indie pop to everything in between, Ngaiire has finally settled on an eclectic sonic identity that is uniquely hers and one that can easily transcend universal territories with its electronic soul elements as well as gratify the folk sphere with her great adoration for storytelling and heartfelt laments. 

‘Dirty Hercules’ steps forth from an album bookended by challenges, from Ngaiire’s car accident a day before recording started to the death of her sister upon the album’s completion: it stakes a flag in the ground as Ngaiire’s official arrival. 

‘Ngaiire is anything but a silicone mainstreamer’
Faster Louder

“You can’t help but fall in love with her…It’s really just the beginning for Ngaiire”
Dom Alessio (Triple J)

“A vast and compelling voice”
John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald)

Seriously, if you see Ngaiire on a bill anywhere go out of your way to see her”
Timber and Steel
 
‘When I first heard Ngaiire it was one of those moments when you just go, “that has all the right bits in all the right places”. It was like a soulful massage for my eardrums. Beautiful harmonies, great songs, sass, sincerity and soul to spare.
John Butler
