If you were at Mercury Lounge during Editors instant-classic first NYC gig, it’s all you could talk about for a few weeks. And then you retreated to your copy of The Back Room and wondered … is this the same band? Yes, the Brit post-punkers wrote some great songs and are phenomenal live, but the lads lost something in the studio. So we’re all for the idea of having some adepts take a pass at remixing choice cuts from the record; nothing breathes life into material like a good mix. (And nothing is worse than a bad one!)
So in keeping with the remix posting theme Thom gave us yesterday, here’s the premiere of a remix by Rubber Bullets, aka DJ Dave Nada and Ris Richards, from the Baltimore/DC area. Take that dirty B-more production and re-sequence the bridge and hook vocal lines, and you have this dance floor take on a melodramatic arena rocker.
The track is part of a larger Editors remix project, yielding the 4-song, cleverly-titled Remixed (iTunes), including takes from Sebastian, Ghislain Porier, P Nice and Prince Language. The Rubber Bullets track is non-EP bonus to you, though — as is this Phones remix that went around last week. In case you missed it:
Enjoy.







































The problem I have with this remix project is they leave out the two best remixes the band has had…the Cicada remixes of All Sparks & Munich.
Anyone know how old this forum is? As in what year it was started?
I’m the only one in this world. Can please someone join me in this life? Or maybe death…
