Hey, I did a remix of Airsine's "Like Fire" a while back - It's just come out on Bandcamp and you can grab it here (PWYW for a short while, make the most of it!)
The original is a psychedelic-ish slo-house chugger, so I thought I'd do something different, speed it up a bit, chuck in some breaks […]

Day 20: "Mellow Sun"
Director's Commentary "A very gentle one to play out the album with, previously tucked away at the end of one of our Hectic City mixes, now tucked away at the end of this one too. Full album out tomorrow!" […]

Day 19: "Eternal Life"
Director's Commentary : "Nearly at the end of the album, got time for one more banger? Sure thing!"

Day 18: "Cherry & The Dubmaster"
Director's Commentary : "Last dubby chunk for this collection, this was off the cuff and punk enough that we didn't even notice the key change on the last verse of the vocal. Doesn't make any difference to these ears, so you […]

Day 17: "Pump Girls"
Director's Commentary : "Not quite a 'reunited' remix, more of a 'father and son reunion', I'd say. And it rocks!"

#music #kleptones #20DaysOfKMass
Day 16: "Perfect"
Director's Commentary : "Another unexpected but consummate pairing, doubly so as it was created (and initially released) on Valentine's Day, not that that mattered much, a fine bop for any day of the year." […]
#music #kleptones #20DaysOfKMass
Day 15: "Madonna Is A Breeder"
Director's Commentary: "And lo, as promised, the very first mashup we ever created. Actually discovered by imagining / singing this combination to myself one day back in 2003, and thinking 'That sounds plausible, I wonder if it […]

Day 13: "Stolen Goods"
Director's Commentary: "After Uptime / Downtime, we started on a new project that didn't quite make the grade or fit our mood, so we reluctantly scrapped it. There were some good bits though, like this cheeky number, previously only used […]

Day 12: "Gotta Move"
Director's Commentary: "I think this is one of the oldest tunes on the album, kept trying to find a way to get it onto an earlier release but it never made it, which is unfair, because it rocks!"

Day 11: "Don't Kung Fu Me"

Day 10: "Little Fight"
Director's Commentary : "Part of the joy of doing this is when you put two folks together that really, truly shouldn't work, but they really groove. Well, at least we think they do, hope you think the same!" […]

Day 9: "Dubby Sister"
Director's Commentary : "Start of the obligatory skanking section. Always a pleasure to half the tempo on a rocker and dub it up, this one's a little more experimental than usual, but it works, bonus points for the surprise brass crescendo […]
#music #kleptones #20DaysOfKMass
Day 8- "Get Free Parking"
Director's Commentary: "Perfect blend. For me it complements the original without replacing it, just a different take on an awesome vocal performance, as it should be. If only every tune could fall together this easily." […]
