Free Santiago Street Machine remix
August 31
So, we're into the third week of giving away the eight remixes we completed (in a month) for the 'Manchester : Remixed' project, that we set ourselves in July. This week's remix is pretty unique to what you'd expect from us, as HeavyFeet. We wanted to play up to the original tempo of the song, so we decided to work at 140pm on this one, instead of bringing it down 10bpm or so, to a more comfortable territory. Retaining as much of the original song as possible, we focused on the band's vocals and synth parts, using carefully chosen additional layers to put the remix together.
Santiago Street Machine are a Manchester-based three piece band whose focus is to make 'big music, for big stages.' After seeing/hearing the guys play live recently (prior to starting the remix project), I can testify to that. They definitely have something anthemic going on with their sound that I can see transforming well from the smaller, moodier venues they can currently be found touring (Manchester Academy 3, Zanzibar in Liverpool, etc), to bigger festival stages. With recent gig highlights, supporting Hot Chip, and playing main stage at Manchester Pride, I suspect it's only a matter of time.
