TRICKY RELEASES REMIX PACKAGE 'MIXED BY....VOL.1'- FALTYDL, KAHN, AND THE HEATWAVE -Tricky has today released an EP of remixes encompassing the first two singles from his forthcoming album, ununiform. Standout tracks 'The Only Way' and 'When We Die (feat. Martina Topley-Bird)' receive reworks from Kahn, FaltyDL and The Heatwave respectively. Available everywhere digitally, the remixes can be heard below. The producers have also taken the time to share their own thoughts on Tricky's lasting influence upon their own material and more widely on the last two decades of British music. Listen to 'When We Die (FaltyDL Remix)' BELOW As CRACK magazine wrote in premiering Kahn's sultry edit of 'The Only Way': “Tricky stan and Bandulu Records label head Kahn has gained a reputation for cutting experimental grime dubs that are shot with a dose of the same dark, negative space that artists like Tricky helped to innovate. For this spacious remix, the Bristol producer has reworked Tricky’s trademark whispered vocals to drift into the haze of rumbling drums..” Kahn himself adds: So with that said, naturally I was honored to be asked to remix some of Tricky’s new work. In truth it was initially a bit daunting working with someone who’s been such a crucial creative influence, but the whole experience has meant a great deal to me and I hope we can work together again at some point in the future.” Listen to 'The Only Way (Kahn Remix) BELOW Finally - rising bashment producers The Heatwave were tasked by Tricky (ever with his ear to the ground) to work their magic on 'When We Die' just in time for the last summer rays. “It's a big deal for me getting the chance to remix a Tricky tune. His music had a big impact on me as a teenager and he's a brilliant example of a groundbreaking, genre-defying, Jamaican-influenced British MC. Before grime, garage and almost even UK hip hop, you had Massive Attack and Tricky weaving words, booming out basslines and melting minds and moods. Their Wild Bunch crew was an inspiration for what The Heatwave has become as a UK soundsystem.” Listen to 'When We Die (The Heatwave Remix) Available here: https://K7.lnk.to/MixedbyVolume1 End of Press Release.
