Ready for something completely different, even by HeavyFeet standards!?
Week seven (of eight), and we offer you our penultimate remix from '
Manchester : Remixed', of a relatively new-to-be-Manchester-associated artist,
I Am A Camera. The band consist of Francesca and Ian (pictured above), Francesca being the Mancunian connection, and between the pair of them they output high grade, vocal driven, electro-pop.
The buzz around the band has been gradually building, as you'd expected if you'd recently been featured in the Sunday Times Magazine, on Pop Justice and apparently (soon to be) in GQ. It certainly all points to a bright future. If you're London based and are interested in hearing I Am A Camera live, they can regularly be found gigging in the capital, so keep and eye out for dates on their site. I'm yet to see the guys play live yet, but I'm sure it won't be long before I do.
So, on to the remix... The original of 'Red Letter Day' (the bands' forthcoming single), is around the 105bpm mark, and as we'd been meaning to have a play around with 'Moom' vibes for a while, we rolled up our sleeves and got stuck in. As always (as the eight track remix project we undertook in July went), we focused around the vocal, and also in this case a fair few of the original synth parts, seeing as they'd been recorded from quality pieces of studio kit, it seemed a shame not to use some of them. Getting the production right proved pretty difficult, I won't lie, it took a while, but we were (and are) very happy with the end result, and hope our experimentation at this relatively untapped bpm (for HeavyFeet) is of interest to those who've been following this project.
