Following from the buzz garnered by his remix for Machinedrum last Fall, Shadow has applied his production techniques to a fascinating subject: '70s Dutch prog band Supersister.  Releasing a handful of albums on Polydor between 1970 and 1974, the band counted among its ranks one Robert Jan Stips, whose keyboard playing caught the ear of Shadow way back in the mid '90s.  (That's Robert Jan's playing you hear sampled on both the "Organ Donor Remix" AND "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by Unkle!)  Stips and Shadow met in 2010 at one of Shadow's Netherlands "Shadowsphere" shows, and a discussion was introduced about the possibility of a remix or other collaboration.  "It just seemed appropriate," says Shadow, "Given how influenced I've been by RJ Stips' playing.  Plus, it's a great way to draw attention not only to the songs I've sampled, but their broader work as well."  On his remix, Shadow interpolates portions of "Dona Nobis Pacem" by Supersister, and twists them into a complex framework inspired by elements of footwork and the contemporary California beat scene (check out that drop!!!)

Thanks to RJ Stips and Shadow, the remix is being made available as a free download above and here: http://bit.ly/DJS-SupersisterDL

Dona Nobis Pacem (DJ Shadow Remix)- Supersister

UPDATE (20 Aug 2015): What made the comet sing? Scientists working on Rosetta's RPC instrument have found out why 67P/C-G was singing. Via http://wp.me/p46DHN-1nN

ORIGINAL Citation (Oct 2014): Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) has uncovered a mysterious ‘song’ that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is singing into space. The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased in this recording. This sonification of the RPC-Mag data was compiled by German composer Manuel Senfft (www.tagirijus.de).  Read full details in ESA's Rosetta blog: http://wp.me/p46DHN-Li

Der Geburt von VonTram im Februar 2014 ging eine exakt neunmonatige Inkubationszeit voraus, wie das beim Menschen halt oft so ist.

9 von 10 Haustieren, die mit VonTram beschallt werden, klagen danach seltener über Magenbeschwerden.
Dafür garantieren Hagelfratze, Ferkelparade & Lachpillenonkel.
