Give me a line and take me home

It's no secret that LCD Soundsystem is one of my fave bands on the planet. I picked up the "I'm Losing my Edge" 12" back in the early naughties whilst i was living in New York City. It still gets played today. They have continued to release some of the most fun and interesting music in the past decade. Their live shows are both dynamic and a party all in one. Just say total fanboy.

I was lucky enough to meet James Murphy in January this year in Melbourne while they were on tour in their dj guise as Special Disco Version. A total gentleman to say the least. Through the wonders of the universe, my stereogamous pal Paul Mac and I were given the opportunity to remix "I Can Change" the new single from the amazing "This is Happenning" album. Listening to all the individual tracks of this genius song really shows the artistry and detail that is put into this band's work. Trying to reinterpret a perfect song is kinda an intimidating task. We approached this task kinda with a more than a little trepidation. How do you re imagine something so complete? We decided not to pull any fancy tricks but just to redo the backing hook with a number of instruments, and beef up the kick for a late night dancefloor session. Well here it is. We more than honoured that it's ended up on vinyl for the super DFA. We even received good words from some special writers we love loads too.

You know the new LCD Soundsystem album? And you know the way it's pretty remarkable but in a pretty unremarkable kind of way? Well this VERY REMARKABLE remix of 'I Can Change' appeared in our inbox yesterday morning. It is by Stereogamous and we have listened to it precisely seven times.

The next single from James Murphy’s Bonnaroo late-night party soundtrack This Is Happening is the synth-pop gone existential love song “I Can Change,” available on iTunes next month. The track will come this remix from Australians Paul Mac and Seymour Butz aka Stereogamous. The duo, in their own words: “Inspired by the deep skin flick soundtracks from ol’ 70’s bareback videos, this feel-good gay music is also about bringing something dark & provocative & predator-y back to you earhole.” Here the emphasis is primarily on the feel-good.
