We're Not Alone

We're Not Alone (Dan the Automator Redux)

Occasionally the stars align to create something truly special. Well, without beating around the bush, that’s what we’ve got for you here. Not only a classic Legowelt hymn that’s ripe for a revisit but three quality remixers (Tuff City Kids, Catz 'N Dogz and Younger Rebinds aka Benny Rodrigues) turning in scandalously good remixes for Cocoon Recordings. Yes, we’re spoiling you...but you’re worth it!

Disco Rout first surfaced in 2002. The electro revival that had ushered in the new millennium was in full swing and this was to prove a seminal tune, being voted track of the year by Groove magazine. As if to prove a point the bass line still grabs you the moment it drops, while the laser-guided melodies feel as relevant today as they ever did. Fusing the past with a neon future, Legowelt’s complex interwoven elements fit like a glove and the clarity of the mix makes everything seem effortless. Maybe that‘s why it’s such a fascinating track to revisit, having already been remixed over the years by the likes of Deetron, Johannes Heil and Freeform Five.

Anyway, this current crop of remixes are equally top notch starting with Tuff City Kids who do what they do best, serving up an organic, conga driven workout complete with percolating synthetic percussion, cut up vocals and silky smooth choral pads. Warping and flanging the original riffs into an infectious, state-of-the-art revamp, they stay true to the retro vibe with added emphasis on the vocal hook for a more pronounced breakdown that briefly trips out before regrouping and taking flight once more. 

Following hot on their heels is a screamer from Catz ’N Dogz who drop the tempo slightly, layering a metallic cowbell motif over a tough, robotic disco groove that adds extra swagger to the bass line. The original parts gradually spiral into view, cranking up the pressure till we hit a solid state of euphoria that in turn, disintegrates into freaky alien chatter. There’s no let up though, as squawking synths lock on to the rhythm and everything evolves into a full-on percussive outro.

So far, so fantastic. You would think there’s nowhere left to go after being blasted into outer space a couple of times already but we’re not done yet. Last but not least, Dutch master Benny Rodrigues aka ROD steps up under his Younger Rebinds alias with even more intensity than demonstrated on last year’s ‘Sound of Benny EP’ on Running Back. Picking apart the original with almost forensic attention to detail, he gives new life to each individual strand with an exhilarating mix that seems destined to leave its mark on dance floors around the globe throughout the summer and beyond. The second of his two remixes is included here, both having featured on a much sought after Cocoon Recordings limited edition white label. Remix two compliments the precision of the first with a more freestyle approach that’s in one hell of a rush to get going. The bass line rips through the mix, hihats scurry toward the cavernous, arpeggiated breakdown and we’re drenched in reverb as the synths dovetail dangerously, all the while paying homage to the hi-octane energy of the original. Rodriguez effortlessly toys with the crowd, frying the synapses and gorging on serotonin, as the mix motors relentlessly to its conclusion.

The Disco Rout remix EP is a shameless riot of sound that succeeds in doing something very special - by staying true to Legowelt’s vision, the artists involved not only demonstrate their notable skills as remixers but reaffirm the quality of a classic and timeless piece of music.

Lyrics:

I came to
Tell them what it is
And what it isn’t
Bouta go gorilla
Throw my shit
Up off the building
Although the boy vanilla
I got flavor in the filling
Never answer cinderella
Do no favors for her feelings
If I'm acting reckless
I don't really tend to stress it
Cuz if theres a dilemma
I can fix it in a second
If you looking at me jealous
You should probably mind your business
Trynna teach a lesson
But these kids will never listen
Sitting on the roof
Like its workaholics
Spitting out the truth
All my words are honest
Sipping on the juice
As I burn the chronic
Thinking bout the routes
To go and earn a profit
And bitch I'm sticking to my roots
Although the dirt is toxic
The fam predicting that ill lose
Less I return to college
Why pay for classes that I truly
Aint concerned at all with
I say my ass is better suited
Removed from the process
Took a quarter pound of shrooms
On a road trip to flip in the 303
I presumed I'd make money
But instead I tripped for weeks
You assume that its funny
But instead I think it weak
Doomed to consuming
Shrooms LSD and weed
And the booze was amusing back in freshman year
Now I chose not to amuse it but I’ll sip a beer
Sometimes these women try to make me take a shot
I say I'd rather not
They say its just a shot
I stop to wonder if its ever clear
That I don’t do it less I want to
Know that I'm a human
But I know that im a god too
If you fucking with my music then to you its aragato
Ask me why I do it
I tell you its cuz I got to
Essential
I know I’m meant to
Now let me speak my mental
I think the earth is my soul
My body is the devil
Mind on another level
I'm kind and very gentle
Besides my lines
You can find 99 reasons I'm special

I give them 99 Reasons for me to be the one
You'll find my mind leaves you speechless once my speech has begun
(x2)
99 Reasons
99 Reasons

I'm reppin’ 719 and I'm reppin’ 303
A part of Fallacies a part of LUV
So many things that I'm gonna
Do and gonna be
So when I die I know they will remember me
You ask all of these questions while 
I further my projections 
I don't seek out your affections 
Cause I thrive off your rejections
And your rules I don't need to abide
I'm spittin’ rhymes like shootin’ cannons
Call me Ironhide
Goddamn, these niggas try to test me
The cops want to arrest me 
I'm getting sick of all you salad munchers
With no dressings
Remember that this shits 
Suppose to be perplexing
But you wouldn't know that
You spend your time fucking flexing 
And I'm just riding this wave
Cause the music's what I crave
It's the thing that saved me
Yeah, when I was young and like a sprout
And my parents weren't working out
It was the music that raised me
I'm gon say what I'm gonna say with no delay
Tomorrow is not promised so 
I'm gonna get the dream today
And that's anyway it takes
Best bet I'll get my way
Even though I know they'll only love me
When I'm in the grave
This ain't the first, or the last, that it happened
These niggas think that life is just
Another game of Madden
But we're overlapping this race
Solidifying our place
99 Reasons to go off and 
Take our spot with haste
Let me give you a taste of what it's like
To experience true greatness behind the mic
4N Human, TGP, 2 boys that's outta sight 
Smokin’ weed and entertaining is 
The only way I'm feelin’ right
I'm sick of the mumble, get ready to rumble
The booth is a jungle, 
We all know you'll crumble
I'm bumpin’ that HUMBLE. 
While smokin’ that double
Don't step to me son 'cause 
You will get in trouble
Now how did it feel hear some real MCs
I wouldn't have to brag if this wasn't a rarity

I give them 99 Reasons for me to be the one
You'll find my mind leaves you speechless once my speech has begun
