one of the best songs i've ever heard <3 big love from Germany!

And somehow a remix is better than the original I love this!

I was reading the little tag of history you have for this wonderful remix, but then it abruptly cut off. Will you ever happen to finish the story? What happened during those 10 days?

The story behind this is amazing, ive loved this remix since i was a kid! I always preferred it to the album version though that has its own kind of charm.
Thank you for the hard work!

Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish (Mighty Mouse Remix)

Yeah Yeah

Don't Stop (Color On The Walls) [Cruelty Remix]

A dark baroque beginning that introduces a mind fuck of an album proves that Justice’s unique talent is to be found where least expected. Take for example “Let There Be Light” and its strident angry electro driven by a jabbing bassline, “D.A.N.C.E”, a pure piece of vicious house sang innocently by a choir of children, “Newjack” a funky parody of the opulent times of the French Touch

A kind of musical opera marked with religious and baroque symbols, where the melodies are ripped to shreds by the beats, where electro teaches rock a lesson and where pop gets a botox injection. Rarely in the history of French house music has a first album lived up so well to expectancies. 

Justice - Dance

Dancing In The Moonlight (Johnny Lectro Remix)

I got a call from Miles Leonard (President of Parlophone EMI Virgin) to talk about a project of Blur's Damon Albarn. It was called Gorillaz. Not a band as such, more of a collective of collaborators. They had inadvertently caught some heat, by way of a 2-Step Garage Remix of "Clint Eastwood". BBC Radio 1 weren't giving the original a lot of spins and decided (to keep in with its core audience) to do a radio edit of this popular dance mix. Since this version wasn't representative of what Gorillaz were about, EMI & Albarn initially weren't keen but relented to public demand. I was given a copy of all their demo's and unfinished/finished tracks for what was to be their debut album. The brief was "pick one that you can produce, remix or whatever into a hit single". I gave them all a listen and, nothing immediately screamed 'potential hit'. Regardless, I sent over a proposed budget for one song of their choosing. Things went quiet for a few weeks or so. I then got a call a few weeks later saying "Jamie Howlett has already started working on a video for the song "19-2000" - we'd really love it if you took that song and made into a hit". To my ears, it was a ropey durgy old demo lacking a great melody, let alone a big hook. After striking a deal with Miles, I agreed to do it. The fee (including production recording/mixing costs) wasn't what I wanted but he said "I promise I will make it up to you on another record". Well, 15 years later... He never did keep his promise! As far as creativity was concerned,  his exact words were "you have carte blanche to do whatever you want". What happened next was nightmare-ish 10 days....  [MORE TO FOLLOW]
