On April 5th, Tiga continues his series of remix 12”s for songs from his 2009 album Ciao! The ambitious project features some of the most respected and sought-after producers in dance music.
“For these remixes, I looked to Titans. Standing on the roof of my greenhouse, I called out, ‘Hey you, get off of that impossible cloud and into my car. We’re gonna drive all night ‘til we hit Remix City!’”
Overtime
Remixes by Adam Beyer and Jesper Dahlback, Brodinski, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Sei A.
“These producers represent four sides of the Commemorative Dance Coin. To me, variety is that spicy element that seasons the living of our very lives.”
Tiga could not be more excited about these vinyl releases, and wants nothing more than fans to share in his enthusiasm. “If you purchase all four, I will write your name and credit card information in a special leather-bound book. Also one copy will include a silver ticket, which you can trade in for a golden ticket. Which does nothing.”
“I’m a dreamer. I see the world through groove-colored glasses, ever watching the horizon for the whole world to come dancing into my arms.”
Jori Hulkkonen’s superb 2009 album Man From Earth offered nothing if not a glimpse of pure inspiration, like having a candid dinner conversation with the inventor of the cloth napkin. Now, Turbo is proud to present this stellar remix pack, which offers amazing new perspectives on tracks from the LP, revisiting the music with an athlete’s eye and ears bursting with heart.
Jesper Dahlback’s mix of “My Brother Went To Space And All I Got Was This Lousy Vacuum” evinces all the wild-guy energy of going to a rock concert with Elvis Stojko. Sei A’s versions of “Re: Last Year” are akin to getting an e-mail from the ocean with a link to undersea HTML treasure. Matt Walsh and Alex Jones reposit “Man From Earth” as the “Man From Fun”, while Guy J reimagines “I Am Dead” as a one-way lift ticket up a deeply sensual mountain.
It all makes for a fitting tribute to a true modern master. You’ll realize its full significance when you hear it on the dancefloor and you look over and see us looking back, just noddin’ and grinnin’. It’s going to be great.
