The Dead Famous Remix EP (Remixes by Attack Release, Kickflip, Farace, LuQas, Dekoy)

Recently, we @ Dead Famous HQ had the thought to get some of today's best up and coming producers to take a stab at remixing some of our favorite releases from over the years. Having enlisted producers from multiple coasts, we think we've presented some great updates on past Dead Famous releases for this, the first of multiple Dead Famous Remix EP's. First up is the winner of our remix contest for DHD's ode to the internet forum, "Scene" - Dekoy. He's taken the dirty techfunk original and crafted a THICK breaky house monster complete with an angry dubstep interlude and driving techy rhythms. His entry was so good that there was no doubt that he really captured the idea of the original song and ran with it.

Next up is Attack Release, who has taken Break the Box's awesome "Test the Bass", and flipped the script so to speak from driving techy breaks number to nasty techno. The bassline on this tune is the equivalent of floating on an evil black cloud across the red hot skies of hell. This remix is exactly what we envisioned when commisioning this remix, and he did not dissapoint in the slightest. Moving in a different direction, rising star LuQas, fresh off recent releases on the wicked Yellow Finger takes on label honchos the Robosapiens punk vocal infused release, "Infected". Keeping true to the original, but amping up the vibe + 10, LuQas has delivered a big room, easily accessible techy-but-funky breaks update that is sure to find a home in many a dj's cd wallet.

We're big fans of the work that Farace is doing, and considered it a no-brainer to have him do Bitrok's classic, "The Real". Completely dropping the chunky-meets-Underworld vibe of the original in favor of peak time rock inspired techy madness, Farace shows here why he has quite a bright future in the breakbeat community. Lastly (but far from leastly), one of our all time favorite producers, Kickflip, has taken the classic rock sampling, big rock breaks monster that is Break the Box & Badboe's "Walk Out Laughing", and run it through the sleaze-a-tron 5000 to craft a remix that stays true to the original, but adds his own filthy touch. It's dirty, and we love it.
