'Quiet Nights' has been a long, long way coming. Started with a dusty old cassette in my basement in '09 and ended with some phresh new Trans-Atlantic interweb collabroations this year. I honestly couldn't have landed a more adventurous and expert pack of remixers. Everyone took it in an entirely different direction... The result is an album that's simply traveling... Vocoder silk, Future-boogie synth frenzy, Blunted blunts, Cavernous speed dub, Balls-to-the-wall breakcore, Jungle birds... You name it. Pack a bag. I hope it was worth the wait.
Wanted to share some jams from a couple young producers who have been impressing me as of late. maybe you've heard of them...maybe not
first is the boy Cedaa fresh out da cedaa forests of Bellingham, WA (not sure if there are cedar forests there but I like to imagine there are). dudes been bubblin' as of late with some real dope remixes in his unique fusion of juke, bass, crunk & funky music. plus he looks like dan casey, a good friend of the blog.
(my personal favorite remix of this track i've heard, keeps the original vibe but addin' that SuuUUuUB)
Next on the list is this dude Jamie from the XX, a band of some young lads and a ladette I kinda meant to pay more attention to but never really got around to it. never expected one of em to have productions chops like this though! he's got a slew of official remixes out & is slated to do this crazy remix/collabroation with none other than the great Gil Scott Heron.
first track that really caught my attention is this bonkers nosaj thing remix:
GET YR HEAD STRAIGHT!!!! YES, I am always a suckerrr for thick ambient music.... but this shit is Completely Wonderful. 16 trax that sound like everything at once, in the best way possible.
