Paranormal

According to his twitter bio, Nick Koenig aka Hot Sugar is the most #Intimate & #Romantic artist of 2013. Making music from field recordings, the NY producer self-released his latest EP featuring appearances from Heems, Kool AD and Antwon. We asked him to take a break from making his album and get his mystical mix on for i-D. Primarily instrumental, this mixtape will more than likely invoke nightly nightmares. Don't be square... press play if you dare.

With this latest release, the Desert Dwellers have teamed up with a highly dynamic and acclaimed group of international producers to remix one of their most cherished tracks "Seeing Things."  The result is an immpressive offering of futuristic dubby beats, filled with deep pulsating bass & inextricable, extraterrestrial emissions.  Hallucinatory realms await the listener, as one will soon be seeing things completely new through these transportive soundscapes produced by huge international acts like Eat Static, James Monro, Kaminanda, Lubdub, Landswitcher, Variant Field, and Mystral.

Desert Dwellers consists of Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe; together they are one of the most pioneering and prolific downtempo artists hailing from the United States, having released over a dozen full length albums, several DD remixed albums, as well as countless singles, EPs and remixes for labels like Twisted, Six Degrees, White Swan, and Iboga to name a few. After the huge success of the “DownTemple Dub” series, and blowing up the past three years at some of the most prominent international music festivals including Lightning In A Bottle, Symbiosis, Wanderlust, Shambhala, Eclipse Festival Australia, Envision, Beloved, Sonic Bloom, and Earthdance, Desert Dwellers are gearing up for a very big year in 2014, beginning with a 7 week tour across the United States opening for world renowned Twisted Records artist Shpongle!

First up, the original version of “Seeing Things” invites us aboard a multidimensional plane of evocative psychedelic electronica.  Desert Dwellers are experts at navigating inner worlds of sound, and with this composition they have availed themselves fully to the nature of their genre-bending production skills which they are highly acclaimed for.  Listen attentively, and hear an arsenal of unique sound design, as Desert Dwellers tactfully blend Dub into Breakbeat entangled with Glitch, and a mysterious uproar of psychedelic squelches and spatial vocals that coincide flawlessly.

Coming in at a whopping 10 minutes is the first remix of "Seeing Things," by the alien automaton Eat Static.  Merv Pepler, drummer from the legendary progressive psychedelic rock band Ozric Tentacles, is the entity behind the groundbreaking electronic sounds of Eat Static.  His intuition for channeling the most bizarre is undeniable, and what he transforms this track into can only be described as genius.  His remix boasts very unique instrumentation, and is explosive and undoubtedly the most eccentric one on the release.

Instilling wonder from Down Under, Lubdub's keen production value and rhythms will take any mate for a whirl, and will have your soul bouncing with a lovely vibrancy.  Clocking in at a little over 9 minutes, Desert Dwellers could not have recruited a better group of Aussies to get on board this exceptional remix album.  Featuring some very prevalent Drum and Bass, and of course a heaping helping of Dub, Lubdub adds a mighty fine resonance and euphoria that this release will indeed perpetuate, for countless electronic music lovers the world over.

It is only fitting that this compilation features a Psytrance track, considering it’s courtesy of the legendary Twisted Records. James Monro’s transmutation of “Seeing Things” is a stunning adaptation that showcases the sheer breadth and dexterity of this Flying Rhino Records founding member.  James’ exemplary production techniques and supernatural sense of sound combine beautifully, which boosts this track’s electrifying capacity, to the level that of a psychedelic powerhouse!  It is his eclectic style that really inundates the listener, as he traverses the vibratory realms of classic Acid House, Progressive and pure, indescribable Psytrance, highly developed throughout a golden age.

Hailing from Paris, Land Switcher is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with on the global circuit, offering a supernatural sense of dynamics in their production.  Land Switcher leaves such a refined and delicate balance between the notes.  Basking in the distortion of off-kilter time constraints, this song becomes increasingly hypnotic because of this one melody that prevails, which proves to be unequivocally ensnaring.  

Up next is Kaminanda, an auditory alchemist whom is well-equipped to tackle a composition of this magnitude.  It seems that he has an affinity for beautifying beats and always makes sultry sound waves entirely envelop the listener.  In this remix he showcases his signature fusion of tribal polyrhythms and the juxtaposition of immersive melodies. He utilizes his favorite FX, spanning trickling arpeggiated synths and echoing reverb that galvanize an overwhelming swell of serotonin.  Whatever things Kaminanda saw when he reinvented this tune had to have been sublime.

Variant Field has the next recapitulation of "Seeing Things."  Laser-etching bass protrudes multidimensional sound passages, as this song shatters rhythmic patterns and brings to this release a whole new element.  Without sacrificing danceability, Variant Field's attention to space and detail is what highly distinguishes their remix.  When listening, it is difficult to not be made aware of every nuance that makes up their collaborative endeavor.  Variant Field has an incredibly intricate style of electronica, which is refreshing but still bumps hard on the dance floor.

One heavy hitter after another, Mystral spices up the original "Seeing Things," by incorporating a multiethnic charm of psychotropic profusion.  As he rebuilds the vibe of this song, he puts his own spin on the track and it takes on an undecipherable presence.  Mystral accentuates the already strange sound structures and complements the fluidity by layering the track with dubbed out horns marinated with Latin Jazz flavors.

Pharrell Williams is a brilliant songwriter - but he doesn't put much effort into his song intros. Here's a selection, from his first production - SWV's Right Here - to four tracks off his latest album GIRL. They all use the same trick to get into the song.

#ALERTASISMICA TRIBAL REMIX

Twitter: @E_Oks & @iiiNIC_SCXTT
Engineered: @mylesavery

LYRICS:
(Verse 1: Nic Scxtt)
Stop in prayer:
A warm night, it's calm and cool now,
How'd the shadows get so dark under the street lights?
Each time I look around Georgia Peach I don’t see you,
You're sweet like nector fruit so expect the dude to lead you...
One arm around you shoulder heads bangin' together,
Heart's pounding harder than ever,
Damn where does the time go...?
Slower we strut into a field, I found you a flower,
Hours go by, procrastinating, don't call me no coward,
A kiss win or miss remember last winter I missed you and I?
I'm leaving you with regard,
Somehow God ends up in our conversation conversation about allot,
She said that it's hard to believe that I'm a star, or hmm I find it odd that you’d go so far to call me out my name,
Though I know it's complimentary I'm only saying....

(Chorus)
E. Oks: “Hold my body till it’s gone, hold my body till it’s gone now” (x8)
Nic Scxtt: Where does love go? It I find you,
When my heart breaks it's a crime you,
Take everything from me...
You take everything from me....
Where does love go? if I find you,
When my heart breaks it's a crime you,
Take everything from me...
You take everything from me....


(Verse Two: Nic Scxtt)
Nine times out of ten you're a dime,
Not quite sure of myself sometimes,
I adore you, bored I take my time,
Sit outside, can't ignore the signs aboard my mind, free yours.
Always found it hard to trust....
Must I trust in trusting love, I'd only hope to trust yours.
Empathetic,
You don't get it,
You art Soul surviving, freeing your spirit in the wind survivor,
I see it in your eyes,
and if you were blind I'd cherish you 
these skin and bones would be your walking stick.
Gods Angel blessed with perfection intentions 
are to come as close as you’d want me,
Wouldn't leave you wandering saying:

(Chorus)
E. Oks: “Hold my body till it’s gone, hold my body till it’s gone now” (x8)
Nic Scxtt: Where does love go? It I find you,
When my heart breaks it's a crime you,
Take everything from me...
You take everything from me....
Where my mind…
Dehh duuh dehh dehh (laughs at self)
I forgot my Lyrics yo; it's cool, yo Ev check....

(Verse Three: E. Oks)
You forgot your line?
I forgot my main (aka main girl aka true love)
got got by my tendency to tend toward all the pain
amend the recommended dose and doze off to the same
drugged girl who drug me by jugular I’m vain (vane)…
Any girl who think me pretty
It make me feel good inside
Girls used to wanna write off me
But these days that night she be laying by my side [
Cause I gone and loved my shadow’ll full (Beez Link)
Which renders me compatible
Motor skills
Are Capable
To grab a “No”/note
Not holding back
I’ll fully bate
A Yatt club girl with a paddle boat
Yeah, yeah, yeah that’s right I said Yatt Club! 
Approach her using slang cause I talk thug! 
Then quick I scooter to a code switch
Switching over I’m Aware that all the words are just chalk dust...
She plucked me a flower, right?
An hour latter I beg her to feel me pretty;
Out of pitty she go tearing me a flower 
till the field is dry and barren,
By her caring, I dare to feel braggadocio dope.
But sooner or later I gotta go home.
On the first street lamp feel fine but by the third one I don’t…
I need another lady starring,
But thinking about that
it became apparent that I won’t – no, I wont
Be flared up by no human!
So I hit my bae,
aka mother earth who’s my main,
soon as she tells me that I’m made of star dust I flame,
Then I got to her, I go to her and I say, 
Could you…

Outro (E. Oks):
Hold my body till it’s gone…(x infinite)
