And then, there are the songs you don’t particularly like. Or that are so far from your field, you don’t even know where to start with. Popular belief amongst my crew is that the less you care for the original, the better the remix will be. Because you have no attachment whatsoever, you can just make a whole new number out of it.

I went to Iceland once, to play in Reykjavik. I hung out with the Steed Lords, they were mad cool, they wanted to trade a remix of their single against two pairs of vintage Cazals sunglasses -which was, of course, an offer I couldn’t refuse. One reason I’m happy to have done this, is that they eventually went on to play it live on stage during their concerts. It’s not that often that you hear a remix replacing the original in a band set-list. Also, my friend Bogue played the guitar skank on it. For your info, he also played the piano on ‘Pocket Piano’. He’s dope.
