10. LIGHT YEAR – MODERATION. BUCK RODGER’S FAVORITE MIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
The original track Jordan sends me immediately reminds me of Motorbass ! Far-off vocals in the reverb and slow, heavy groove ! I was already preparing the tracklist for the boxset you’re holding now when I thought it’d be funny to finish off the ‘remixes’ pack with a track that sounded like the kind of thing I was making 15 years ago ! So I get out my turntable, my funk albums and my sampler, and copy myself 15 years on ! We’ve come full circle !
9. TAÏ – BIG BASS DRUM. ETIENNE DE CRÉCY REMIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
It’s all very well making tracks that are all sweetness and light! But what do you play down at the disco on a Saturday night?
8. THE SHOES – STAY THE SAME. ETIENNE DE CRÉCY REMIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
Guillaume and Benjamin are serious crackpots, and I love them ! They make music in their own image. They’re so talented they do whatever they want. They manage to shoot off in all directions while still following a coherent logic. Not everyone can do that ! When a song is this well written and well performed (Esser), doing an understated remix is a pleasure.
7. KEREN ANN – BETWEEN THE FLATLAND & THE CASPIAN SEA. ETIENNE DE CRÉCY REMIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
I’m a big fan of Keren Ann. It’s very easy and exhilarating to build an arrangement around her voice. She’s an extraordinary artist – she has that many strings to her bow, it’s a harp !
6. ADAM FREELAND – HOW TO FAKE YOUR OWN LIFE. ETIENNE DE CRÉCY REMIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
Remixing a track is a difficult exercise. You have to be able to express yourself while keeping the essence of the track. I can’t remix a track I love. I have to find a flaw. My ambition is then to improve it and reveal its unexploited potential. And sometimes that’s very easy ! The gimmick on Adam Freeland’s original track is so strong that the remix takes care of itself ! Then his label dawdles for three years before releasing it. A long delay like that usually kills an electronic track, but we’re lucky with this one !
5. CUT COPY – LIGHTS & MUSIC. SUPERDISCOUNT REMIX / REMIXES FROM 2006 TO 2012
Julien Delfaud mixes Cut Copy’s first album and that’s what puts us in touch with Modular, the best label in Australia ! I think the song lyrics are very sad, so I make a very ‘deep’ remix. My English is terrible and now I realise that maybe I didn’t understand what the lyrics mean !
