396 The Remix According To Andy Votel

Mr. Finders Keepers himself.  Once a hip hop DJ, then a label owner responsible for reissues of the most bizarre and beautiful items.  Husband of Jane Weaver and frequent DJ on several podcasts.  He's got his own style which is right up my alley for unique music.  

This Broadcast track is from the Warp 10/3 double CD of remixes and is exactly what I was hoping for in a remix of their work.  Andy did several remixes for Badly Drawn Boy, and I chose my favorites here.  They're a band I really should give more attention to.  Then comes Pram, who I only recently started getting into and am really enjoying what I've come across.  Always loved Lamb and most of their remixes really elevate the music to something joyous.  Ian Brown is an artist where I loved his work with The Stone Roses, but never paid much attention to his solo work.   Mr Scruff has that nice hauntology hip hop vibe to this remix.  The Avalanches are known for sample heavy work, and Andy adds just enough to this one to make it accessible.  Then his wife Jane Weaver, of course he's going to do this one properly and make it epic.  I wasn't familiar with Boozoo Bajou before this mix, and find this kind of like a more chaotic Broadcast.  Another from Badly Drawn Boy and Jane Weaver.  Then The Other Two, named appropriately for those that exited New Order early on, with a bit of a twist on shoegaze with some hard hitting breaks.  Elbow was another new one for me, and a happy find.  Ending it with Kings of Convenience, whom I knew of but never paid much attention to; a bit of a soft ballad to end this mix.
