DESCRIPTION:
One afternoon in late 2004, the loungin' A&R were flicking through demo's and as per normal every cd they put in the player was the same old formulas of bland broken beats, mixed with VST plug-in's. then came the last cd, from the cover they were not expecting much but as they put the first track to play everyone in the room realized that this was something very special, eighty minutes and nineteen tracks later, loungin' wrote to Art and arranged a meeting in Paris the following week and then promptly signed the young Parisian for a two album deal. The rest as they say is history.... This second single is remixes taken from the album 'Between Yesterday and Tomorrow'. The tracks were chosen by the remixers with input from Arthur (Art) along the way.

The EP starts off with Another Island remixed by Slope. The track really builds on the beautiful vocals of Aida Khaan & Ulrich Miljavac with a real summer groove. If you close your eyes you can see yourself on the very island! The beats are delivered with Slope's trademark attention to production & detail. This is not a remix that has been taken from obvious parts of the original, but a but a piece of music you could listen to in future years again and again. The second track is Another Island (Slope Dub). When Slope were asked to work on this project, the spec was to remix their favourite track from the album, but even we were surprised when they submitted 2 mixes to us. It seems that Hans & Daniel liked the original so much they couldn't decide which direction to take the mix, so they did both! The dub shares many of the elements of the remix, but is delivered in a manner reminiscent of the cut and paste sound best known from Akufen.

Flipping over to side B, the EP moves onto Charlie Dark's Between Yesterday & Tomorrow (19 Longtime Mix). This mix is appropriately named as it has grown from a sketch delivered to the label last summer. The mix has real Charlie Dark trademark elements, deepness, analogue keys, atmospherics, vocal snippets, a real Blacktronica vibe number for the heads out there, plus anyone who likes to have music that challenges & is not strictly obvious. I would say that this mix is a real grower as you get into it more & more with every play.

The final mix is by loungin's in house team Li'll Bo Tweak. This is a project with Trevor Loveys of House of 909, SpeakerJunk & Switch fame coming together with Chris Belsey -- loungin' recordings. The mix was done to try to capture the vibe of an early 80's boogie number in the style of Street Sound / Nu Groove, but to add a contemporary twist. The result is a killer 116bmp latenite number which has been getting props form all the heads.
