OVERWHELM (SEBA REMIX) - Vinyl & digital

BELIEVE ME (BOP REMIX) - Vinyl & digital

ABOVE WORDS (BADMAMMAL REMIX) - Digital only

OVERWHELM (SEBA REMIX) - Vinyl & digital
Seba assaults the calm of the original ‘Overwhelm’ with a battery of old skool breaks and signature cosmic sweeps that recall the highlights of the Good Looking Records era. Lifting the tune away from the bedroom and up towards the dancefloor Seba’s remix has immediately become a favourite of some of the biggest names in d&b, effortlessly demonstrating why he’s remained at the top of the game for more than 15 years.
Seba’s remix of ‘Overwhelm’ is featured on DJ Friction’s new mix CD for Ministry of Sound

BELIEVE ME (BOP REMIX) - Vinyl & digital
Bop takes the opposite route with his interpretation of ‘Believe Me’, opening up a bottomless well of reverb and throwing the components of the original into it, piece by piece. The result is a beautiful inversion of the original, showcasing the near-beatless melancholy the young Russian has become famous for.

ABOVE WORDS (BADMAMMAL REMIX) - Digital only
‘Above Words’ is completely transformed by San Francisco’s master of quirky folktronica, Badmammal, who rewrites the tune’s Autonomic-via-Detroit stylings into a gorgeous montage of dusty acoustic Americana. A hypnotising, waltz-time guitar rendition of the original loop builds up into crashing waves of chiming bells and choral vocals, taking the listener on a breathtaking and emotional journey.

The six remixes will be released in two chapters, around a month apart

Part 1
Overwhelm (Seba remix)
Believe Me (Bop remix)
Above Words (Badmammal remix)

Part 2
By The Time My Light Reaches You I’ll be Gone (Klute remix)
If I Could Tell You (Stray remix)
Nobody Here (Kastle remix)

You can hear Seba’s remix of ‘Overwhelm’ and Bop’s remix of ‘Believe Me’ in our recent Fabric Live Mix. They are also featured in Doc Scott’s latest mix and John B’s latest podcast.
Audio of the other remixes coming soon, so watch this space.
