for anyone who has heard anything that i have ever recorded, you may have noticed that i really like dj shadow. a few months ago, dj shadow announced on his website that he was inviting his fans to remix any of his songs and send them in. i found this rather exciting, so, over a weekend, i recorded a version of 'mongrel meets his maker.' i was not very pleased with the result, but was tickled to see that mr. shadow himself commented on the track - he typed 'like it.' so i tried another one - 'what does your soul look like part 2' - which i was quite pleased with.
dj shadow has decided to release a series of these remixes - called the dj shadow remix project - on a cd which will be included for free with any order from his website. in what i assume was some sort of clerical error, my version of 'what does your soul look like part 2' was selected for the album. this is amazing for me. it means many many more people will hear something i have made. it's just great.
and i am in very good company. i have heard a few of these remixes, and they are fantastic - i can't wait to hear the rest.
here is a teaser:
