They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did. A transcript in English is below

Nicolas Jaar  And I Say - Mono's quick flip

Fresh reincarnation of the track "Big Sky" from my EP West. @shuhandz is a good friend from where I live in Asheville and I am so stoked to for his house remix. David's remix shines a new light at the original sounds, over a bangin' house beat. So fun to mix the original and this remix live in a show.
