GoGo Penguin – RMX

Cooked up in the Blue Note Lab, RMX presents last yearÂ’s band-defining masterpiece, GoGo Penguin, re-imagined through the filter of some of the worldÂ’s finest producers and remixers. For RMX the idea was both simple and inspired; commission a remix of every track from last yearÂ’s album and present a total re-imagination of the record, a remix, or as the band title it, a RMX. In the end they went one better; with a remix of every track (and two of one) plus a remix of the track Petit_a, which was originally released only in Japan before surfacing on their Live from Studio 2 digital EP. The idea behind RMX was also the catalyst for a remarkably inspired collaboration. The Manchester trio’s music has always drawn heavily on electronica (alongside jazz, indie and classical influences) and so commissioning ten of their favourite artists to rework their music made perfect sense – and the results are spectacular. One of the very best remix projects you will hear anywhere.
