James Zabiela shares part four of his Paradigm Shift mix series
James Zabiela has not released a slice of his Paradigm Shift mixes since late October 2012, but all of a sudden the Born Electric hero is back with Part 4 in the month of August. It clocks in shorter than preferable, at only a little over 40 minutes, but it is full of choice selections from all over the universe of quality house and techno. Enjoy more below.
James Zabiela – The Healing (Hot Chip Remix)
Indie rockers Hot Chip are no strangers to the remix circuit, having had many of their originals thrown through the wash countless times since their career began in 2000. Much like the hunted becomes the hunter, Hot Chip take on James Zabiela's newest ambient release "The Healing," infusing it with an understated dose of energy that does well to maintain the haunting aesthetic of the original work. Unsettlingly murky, Hot Chip's rendition employs the use of ethereal percussion and orchestral synth work to create a tripped-out soundscape best listened to in the dark -- on a pair of high quality headphones. Grab the remix, and the rest of the EP on Beatport today.
Hot Chip – How Do You Do (Todd Terje + James Zabiela Remixes)
One of the finest tracks off of Hot Chip's new album gets the remix treatment from two remarkable producers. The indie disco jam, "How Do You Do," gets a melodic makeover by Scandinavian Todd Terje. James Zabiela's impression favors the deeper, techy side of things -- centered around a dazzling bass line and distinct vocal spouts.
