Mysterious sounds from the past

This is interesting. I did a remix last summer for a Swedish guy named Johan who calls himself Familjen. I happen to absolutely love his album, singles and live show. Anywho, I did a remix (at my request, I emailed him and he kindly sent me remix files) of the title track off of his debut Det Snurrar I Min Skalle. I sent the remix off to him and then it made its way over to his record label and a couple of my pals in Stockholm. A few nice emails were sent back and people said they liked it and I sort of liked it but then that was sort of it.

I had a revelation right after I did the remix and decided I was not a floor-filler remix-type of guy so why should I do remixes like this. I dunno, there are so many other people that are a whole lot better at that sort of thing. So I stopped. I will continue to stop making remixes like this (while continuing to do remixes on a truer plane, can you dig that?) But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep reading. What you will get is an audio snapshot of me at a certain time in a certain place.

This remix is out now to my surprise. I really did think it was shelved. Remixes are such a novelty and I like that about them. You can get the remix (for free) over at www.detsnurrariminskalle.com. Oh, make sure you check out the video over there to. It's a great video and won the Swedish Grammy for best video of the year actually.

The remix will also be a part of a Familjen remix full length called Huvudet I Sanden that is coming out soonish. I've heard it and it's a nice companion piece to Familjen's output. More on how to you can get that when I have the details. The artwork will look just like this:


3 Scandinavian labels are teaming up on this release: Adrian Recordings / Hybris / Tellé. People really enjoy Familjen in my other part of the world. (I have been in Miami the last couple of days and Stockholm feels like light years away). But now I'm just talking about the weather and that's reserved for phone calls home.

*****Update Feb 21*****
There is a track by track write-up of the upcoming Huvudet I Sanden album on the Adrian Recordings site.

Piece.
