Japanese Wallpaper’s recent remix package was a decent excuse to hear some of the usual suspects put another, expectedly solid remix into the universe. The canvas provided by Jap Wall was typically easy to work with – low BPM, lots of unobtrusive sounds and a pretty vocal. Sable did a goodie of course and while we’re here, this is as good an excuse as any to cop an ear full of his [not for long] unreleased Ed Sheeran remix that the likes of Nina Las Vegas and Slumberjack have slipped into Triple J mixes. UV Boi did an unmistakably UV Boi remix of that JW + Pepa Knight track, all disjointed and slathered in 808s. Producer/Mixer/Masterer Andrei Eremin has cut his teeth on remixing Brightly, Milwaukee Banks and thunders out a dark rumbling version of Between Friends.

My unashamed favourite of the bunch however, is this Anatole remix of Between Friends. I was so impressed listening to this one as a demo that I immediately demanded that Anatole sign upon the dotted line and suddenly I was releasing the next Anatole record via my own record label TEEF, though more on that later. This remix strips out a lot of the smaller twinkly synth sections and replaces them with hand percussion, real life trumpet, real life clarinet, real life piano, real life strings and lots of super real life sounds. This is the sort of remix Son Lux produces and there isn’t any higher praise I can deliver.

You can collect the entire package via the JW bandcamp with all proceeds going to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, just like our friends the Smith Street Band this week.
