Kinder Atom - Bring The Herbs (Q-Burns Abstract Message Remix)

"buncha squelch and a rasp attack"

The very first EIGHT-TRACKS release involved UK duo Cosmic Groove Transmission and the choice cut "Just Looking." I gave it some fancy remix treatment featuring a squelchy MKS-7 bassline and some heavily processed guitar.

I'm sort of a sucker for guitars in dance music. It's probably from a youth immersed in <A HREF="http://www.factoryrecords.net/">all those Manchester bands</A> but I do indeed like how chiming guitars and electronic drum beats go together. Thus I was immediately drawn to South African combo <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/bangbangsa">Bang Bang</A> and their "<A HREF="http://soundcloud.com/eighth-dimension/bikini-days">Bikini Days</A>", a cool and gentle track certainly evoking some sort of beachside romp. Quickly snatched up and released on my Eighth Dimension label, I dug the song enough to partake in a remix of my own. You can hear the result here:


I kind of went for a psychedelic, Balearic feel making the aforementioned guitars all twisty and using the vocal verse of the song as if it were the chorus. The rhythms build a bit and the full brunt of the bass doesn't really kick in until over halfway through (an exercise in patience on my part). I like the idea of the focused bits interchanging with the atmospheric sections, sort of like a camera lens in close-up suddenly pulling back for the wide shot.

There are other cool remixes of "Bikini Days" from <A HREF="http://www.prismatictracks.com/">Andrew Phelan & George Cochrane</A>, <A HREF="http://www.lovewonanother.com/">Gavin Hardkiss</A>, and Bang Bang themselves. You can listen to the single in its entirety by clicking <A HREF="http://soundcloud.com/eighth-dimension/sets/bang-bang-bikini-days-eighth-dimension-records-8th028d">HERE</A>. This single is also available now from <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/label/eighth_dimension">Beatport</A>, <A HREF="https://www.stompy.com/index.php?section=labels&parameter=Eighth%20Dimension ">Stompy</A>, <A HREF="http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=41499">Trassource</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.junodownload.com/ppps/products/1481477-02.htm">Juno Download</A>.

I was recently asked to do a remix for the renowned African artist Youssou N'Dour as part of a campaign spearheaded by IntraHealth OPEN, a non-profit organization focusing on open source technology and how it can be used to advance health care in Africa. I was honored to be a part of this. In the spirit of open source technology, feel free to download and share this track. Download other remixes by artists such as Hawke and Beef Wellington here: http://www.intrahealth.org/open/

This is my remix of Atnarko's "Crazy 'bout You" which has just been released digitally on Kolour. My remix is meant to be an ode to music creating memory, and how that certain song can bring back thoughts of that special someone. That's the feeling I was after, anyway. I hope you like it.

Here's my somewhat ghostly version of my Brazilian buddy Jota Wagner's track "Acid Resolution." In this remix I went for some jittery beats and echoey synth action, as well as a cameo from Mr. Leary himself. Decidedly deep, suspiciously spacey, invitingly electronic.

This track has been released on Jota Wagner's In My City EP via his own Lunatic Jazz Recordings label. You can find it on Beatport and Juno Download. Nifty.

Tripped out remix of Chilean band Los Mono, out now on Sonic360. We dig the ¡Vocoder Español!

Here's a spacey remix I did for The Mythical Beasts, a collaborative project of cool London producers Toby Tobias & Felix Dickinson. This came out on one of my favorite record labels, San Francisco's Hector Works. Release info: http://www.discogs.com/release/1194720

A manic re-work of the <A HREF="http://www.joshuaiz.com/izanddiz.html">Iz & Diz</A> anthem "Mouth." It's a remix in two parts ... we've got the opening bit which consists entirely of Diz's mouth sounds (save for the main drum part), then we get the "Let's start over" part replicating some otherworldly timpani/vibraphone jazz and possibly my favorite bassline that I've played. Not sure of the overall concept here, but it all seems to work and, if you couldn't tell, I remain a bit enthusiastic about it. This track also makes me wonder if Diz had <A HREF="http://www.mouthsounds.info/book.htm">this book</A> when he was a kid like I did.

This remix was released, along with a host of others, by <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/greenskeepersmusic">Greenskeepers Music</A> in August 2008. It's available to purchase via <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/track/mouth-7-original-mix/1675233">Beatport</A> and <A HREF="https://www.stompy.com/EP/12004">Stompy</A>.

1/2 of a double-fisted remix package delivered to Plastic Fantastic for this track by Londoners Kicksy & Alif Groove. This version is a bit closer in vibe to the original track with the bouncy bassline leading the charge. Yes, there's a none-too-subtle nod to "Plastic Dreams" ... good ear.

1/2 of a double fisted remix package delivered to Plastic Fantastic for this track by Londoners Kicksy & Alif Groove. Though christened the Re-Remix this one actually came first, a bit of deep moodiness practicing with a warm ebb-and-flow and moist spring reverbs. Goth-rock bass guitar and surprise spaghetti western moments notwithstanding, this is probably one of my favorite remixes of late.

Another in the Lost In A Tunnel remix series, here's a recent revision created for Mr. <A HREF="http://www.sleazymcqueen.com/">Sleazy McQueen</A> (in collaboration with the mysterious B Stalz).

No one dies on this dancefloor. And it's currently available from <A HREF="http://www.bananzamusic.com/">Bananza Music</A> who, correctly believing one should have options, have thoughtfully made it available on vinyl from shops like <A HREF="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/106-Encounters/369141-01/">Juno Records (UK)</A>, <A HREF="http://www.downtown304.com/opussitelayout07main.cfm?lf=1966&group=all">Downtown 304 (US)</A>, <A HREF="http://www.deejay.de/Vinyls.aspx?sparte=All&art=Labels&Labelno=4789&Labelname=Bananza">DeeJay (Germany)</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.nuloop.com/en/vinyl-records/discography/label/Bananza/3615/">NuLoop (France)</A> as well as in new-fangled digital format via <A HREF="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/199772/106%20Encounters%20%28In%20Queens%29">Beatport</A>, <A HREF="http://www.stompy.com/EP/148602">Stompy</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.traxsource.com/Bananza_Music">Traxsource</A>.
