592 The Remix According to Meat Beat Manifesto

This is supplemental to the remixes I posed on 125 and 410 (there is a little overlap with these).  I just love his big beats and dubby basslines with quirky analog synths and many other studio toys.  

Jack Dangers has been known to re-use samples and bits of music between his own tracks and his remixes.  Here's a few examples I picked up on.

-Boom Boom Satellites - features elements of "Its The Music."

-DHS - features elements later remixed in "Fire Number 9 (peel sessions)."

-Globo - Features elements of Jack Danger's cover of Silver Apples "Oscillations."

-Atomfear - Features several samples from Satyricon; I did more research and found that this is actually Atomfear remixing MBM.

DJ Wally's track is from the DJ Spooky mix CD Celestial Mechanix, because I was too lazy to rip this from my vinyl.

591 The Remix According to Foetus

J.G. Thirlwell, Clint Ruin, Foetus, and so many other aliases.  He's been a fixture in the industrial music scene for decades and has carved out quite an impressive discography across dozens of names along with his TV and film work.  Honestly, I just can't find the right entry point to really appreciate his music.  I've tried several albums and none of them really grabbed me.  I know him by reputation, and figured I'd give this remix selection a shot.  I'd had most of these remixes on CDs for many years and was happy to revisit this stuff to put these together, and supplement with some new stuff I wasn't as familiar with.  I found that I really like his approach where he does multiple mixes of the same track, showing a lot of diversity in his approach.

590 The Remix According To The Orb

The wonderfully weird world of The Orb's remixes.  They go wild in the best possible way, and I will dive into anything with their name on the credits.  I've kind of stopped following their original material as it was probably the early 2000s when I felt their style changed too much from that ambient dub beginnings that made them legends in my book.  Here I've pulled together 50 of my favorites.   I know that's a lot, but there are just so many dang good ones.  

The Orb has released three volumes of Auntie Aubrey's compilations of their remixes.  This is significant as they tend to release those tracks in new edits, some extended, and most with additional samples layered in.  Some of my mixes contain those version, though I tried to stay with the original version where I thought they help up enough on their own.

603 The Remix According to Techno Animal

JKB and Kevin Martin aka The Bug making very dirty raw beats with a wall of noise.  Wonderful stuff.  I felt this should be a separate entry from yesterday's massive JKB overview. I believe the only thing missing from this mix is the JSBX dub remix of Bacon which I just couldn't track down.

582 The Remix According to Sonic Boom

Now we are getting closer to the end of this series... well sort of.  I saved the best for last, as my original post in 2024 had listed three artists I wanted to get to, but their discography was too intimidating.  Well, time passed and I had just enough time on my hands to dive into them.  Having completed the challenges I set upon myself, I had some good momentum and extended this series by another half dozen or so, and found a great way to wrap it up in early October, just wait!

First up is former Spaceman, Sonic Boom aka Pete Kember.  While his former bandmate Jason Pierce went in a more psychedelic drug-fueled anthem-rock direction, Sonic Boom kept his Velvet Underground meets Beach Boys aesthetic going strong with Spectrum.  He also went quite another direction with his Experimental Audio Research project.  For me it was his production and remix work where he really shines the most.

581 The Remix According to Ensemble

This is a short mix as there really aren't that many remixes available from Ensemble.  That just means what we have here packs even more of a punch.  I really like how most of these are called "recomposed by" as the end product feels like something completely new pieced together from the source material.

580 The Remix According to Minotaur Shock

It was the His Name is Alive and Mojave 3 remixes that really grabbed my attention from this remixer.  Their very unique approach creates a new world with the source material.  Always meant to check out their original material, I am hopeful it is as good as their remixes are.    Yeah, had a hard time think up an image for this artist so I went with the minotaur-like creature from Gozu, because Takashi Miike certainly likes to shock his audiences.

579 The Remix According to Mr Scruff

I've always been a casual fan of Mr Scruff's work.  I like his style and have several of his albums, yet nothing has ever jumped out as amazing or one of my favorites.  Still, he's got quite a style and a very extensive set of remixes out there.  My list below is a little different from Future Vintage's available mix on YouTube.

602 The Remix According to Ultramarine

For commenter Nimrod, a request to highlight Ultramarine in this series was very welcomed.  I had several of these tracks in my library already, and hadn't given them the attention they deserved.  That opener by Black Hearted Brother is worth the price of admission for sure.  I did also include the self-remix of Saratoga as I just enjoy it so much, even though they sampled the Eagles who I detest.

578 The Remix According to Reload

Reload is was a solo, then duo project from the guys behind Global Communications.  The music is very similar in style and I think credits for each project kind of blend together.  Still, here is the set of remixes attributed to Reload which may or may not have been a solo work of Mark Pritchard.

Also 3 year anniversary of this blog.  Yay, I suppose.

577 The Remix According to Sub Dub

Sub Dub is the paring of John Ward with Raz Mesinai.  Without doing my normal research on artists I was listening to, I did come upon Badawi and Sub Dub independently.  It was a couple years later that I made the connection and only made me appreciate each of those projects even more.  Sub Dub didn't have a huge output, though what they did release is all very solid.  I still break out my copy of "Dancehall Malfunction" often as its just a great album.

575 The Remix According to Isan

Integrated Services Analogue Network, shortened to ISAN is a group of guys that really have carved out their own distinct sound in electronic music.  Everything they produce (original and remixes) sounds consistent, despite the diversity of the source material.  I found way too many remixes of theirs so I chose my favorites to include here; three mixes worth.  The mixes are about an hour each because even as a fan I can only take so much of this style in one sitting.

574 The Remix According to Witchman

John Roome is the Witchman, and Gold Water, and a member of The Unknown Ghosts with Alex Paterson of the Orb.  His work under Witchman is a lot of broken beat, drum n bass, and dark ambient, where Goldwater is more straight up dark ambient with illbient tendencies.  The Unknown Ghosts is listed as dub, though I don't think it fits my description of that.  

Anyway, here's a set of his remixes that in my opinion are a mixed bag.  Some like the Bowery Electric, or the Jess Franco remix track track are up there in my favorites of his work, while others like Gary Numan was just not what I wanted.  

00:00  Jess Franco/Manfred Hubler/Siegfried Schwab - People's Playground (Soledad Dub)

08:15  Finitribe vs Witchman - The Bells (Witchman's Outcast mix)

573 The Remix According to Jim O'Rourke

Jim O'Rourke has quite the list of credentials and he continues to find new and incredible opportunities to collaborate with artists from all over the globe and genres.  I think I first came across his name when a friend left "Eureka" at my house and I really dove into it.  Gastr Del Sol was another group I was introduced to at this time, and then not long afterwards I saw his collaborations with Sonic Youth and it was official I was a big fan of his work.

Here are two mixes showcasing his diverse background remixing artists.  

00:00  Organum - Obon

572 The Remix According to Bundy K Brown

Mr. Kenneth Brown, also known as Bundy K Brown is part of the inner circle of Chicago musicians that I associate with Tortoise.  He was a member of Bastro/Gastr Del Sol and was one of the founding members of Tortoise.  He bounced around as a sound engineer, producer, mixer and remixer for several artists.  Here's a wonderful overview of his remix work which I find both engaging and relaxing at the same time.

571 The Remix According to Rapoon

Robin Storey was one of the creators of Zoviet France and remained an active member through 1992.  He also rejoined as part of Reformed Faction.  His solo catalog is just as immense and dances the line between dreamlike ambience, tribal rhythms, and dark industrial soundcapes.  I've owned several of his releases and love them all.  Robin has also paired up with Nigel Ayers for the Hank & Slim project of dirty country ambience, and also with Andrew Diey (Black Faction) for the New Cult of the Sun Moon project.

That Xingu Hill track is a remix of Rapoon, not the other way around.  

00:00  Black Faction - Caligulan

04:27  Muslimgauze - Night Train to Heliopolis

09:32  Rapoon vs Kinder Atom - Cookies on Poon

570 The Remix According to Spacetime Continuum

Jonah Sharp's project focused on experimental global ambient music.  He is also owner and operator of Reflective Records.  This is another short but solid set of tunes.  I will thrilled to see he remixed Ponga, a band with a very unique take on free-jazz that I was introduced to about 20 years back from some friends in France.  The Muslimgauze track is what I really wanted to highlight here as it is gorgeous. 

00:00  MLO - Wimborn

10:24  Muslimgauze - From the Edge

21:43  Me-Sheen - Electrostatic
