1. Antena’s “To Climb the Cliff” (Emynd Edit): DOWNLOAD
This is an edit I originally did several years ago for my “Happy Festivus Mix” in December of 2004 (HOLY CRAP! It’s way older than I thought!). I just threw a busy Charles Kynard break on top of this Antena song, sequenced it and re-programmed the drums a bit. Even though the original is quite beautiful as it is, I think the drums add some much needed energy to the track. For those that don’t know anything about Antena, they are a rather unique “bossa-nova flavored electronic dream pop group.” They’re like a 80s/90s French version of Os Mutantes. I’ve only got their “Camino Del Sol” re-issue CD, but their stuff is highly recommended. COP THAT.
2. Modest Mouse & Young Gunz “Friday Night (Emynd’s Float On Remix)”: DOWNLOAD
This is another blend/remix that first appeared on my “Happy Festivus Mix” but it was recently released on Dedicated Beat Heads Records out of Germany. Scoop it somewhere!
3. Cheap Trick “I Want You To Want Me” w/mixable intro: DOWNLOAD
This is precisely what it says above. Cheap Trick’s live version of “I Want You to Want Me” with a slightly extended intro for easy mixing.
These are great. I remember playnig the hell out of that mix. Fantastic stuff
Right on for Young Gunz track. I always loved it when you played this out at the Casba!
