Manchester : Remixed
July 5
You may have seen us making a fair old amount of noise about this project via Twitter and Facebook, so I thought I'd put together a little post, just to explain what we're up to at present with our current project, 'Manchester : Remixed'. In terms of HeavyFeet and 'projects', you can be forgiven for thinking that we're about to embark upon another epic, year long project, ala the '12x12', as this time around we're talking about a relatively short and somewhat compact project, to be undertaken (and completed) between July 1st and July 31st.
In essence, 'Manchester : Remixed' is us, HeavyFeet, remixing eight of the current wave of great Manchester associated bands and songwriters over a one month period, and presenting you, the online audience, the results at the end of the process. Whilst the project will be concluded by a 'remix special' BBC Introducing radio show (on Sunday 7th August), of which we shall be presenting all eight remixes, and having a bit of a chat about the process in which we created them, we also wanted the content to made available, for free, to people all over the world, via select music blogs and online social media platforms etc, and will be doing from August 8th.
A little more about the artists involved: Whilst we've involved international touring acts as part of the eight featured artists, we've also been sure to involve some less-prominant, more underground artists, that the city has to offer. For us, it's important that we represent both sides of what Manchester is outputting at present (and in the future), so presenting a variety of profiles (of the different artists) is something we feel strongly about.
To celebrate us going live with the project (we kicked things off last Friday, July 1st), below is a free-to-download early/bonus remix of Delphic's 'Doubt'. To read more about the project (we're blogging from the studio every evening to inform people about what we've been working on, how things are moving along etc) and to find out who we're remixing during the month of July, head over here and have a scout through some of our recent, lovingly typed offerings.
