Route de la Slack :
Remixes EP (!K7193EP)
[6th March 2006]
If you've ever worked retail you should be familiar with this phenomenon: someone releases a 12", puts a Swayzak remix on the B-side and now all of a sudden everyone in the record store is asking for "this one record with the Swayzak remix" and it's your responsibility to figure out which one it could possibly be. To make it up to you, James Taylor and David "Brun" Brown of Swayzak have collected all of their favorite remixes along with several previously unreleased tracks onto one 2CD release, coming out on !K7 this Spring.
In the meantime, this EP will give you a taste of what's in store.
A1: Dale Lawrence from Detroit is the man behind "Devil of Rotation" by Theorem. In 2002, Swayzal and Dale released the 12" Swayzak vs. Theorem - "020100" on Swayzak Recordings. Here is the much saught after remix.
A2: This was originally a track by Bergheim 34. The German group had earlier appeared on Swayzak's !K7 compilation "Groove Technology V 1.3". Swayzak returned the favor with their remix version of "Random Access Memory" which was released on Klang Elektronik. Swayzak kept Bergheim 34's live drum sounds and highlighted Anne Vortisch's sweet voice with a straight forward mixture of dub and punk.
B1: For his track "Tic Toc", Will Saul called on !K7's Ursula Rucker, and in doing so, he inspired Swayzak to do a remix. The minimalist, futuristic Swayzak version was released on Saul's break-beat label Simple Records in 2005.
