Music News - Shapeshifter - System Remix Out Now!

21 March 2011 - 0 Comments

Back in December, Shapeshifter announced plans to free the stems of The System Is A Vampire’s killer cut ‘Longest Day’ for remixers and versionists worldwide, leveling the playing field so that any producer ­– irrespective of recognition or reputation – had the chance to sit alongside heavyweight production talent like Netsky, B-Complex, State Of Mind, and Camo & Crooked on Shapeshifter’s box-fresh long player, System Remix.
 
The result? A stack of top shelf rerubs of ‘Longest Day’ for the band to work their way through – and one reworking that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Shapeshifter’s Nick Robinson explains.

“When we started this remix competition, I had no idea there would be so many quality remixes of ‘Longest Day’ come in – we had over 100, and a lot were good enough to make this comp. But as soon as I heard Dhalsim’s remix, I knew it was the one – sure to smash the dancefloor!”  

A classically trained musician, audio engineer, DJ and producer with roots in hip hop and soul, self-proclaimed genre killer Swaren ‘Dhalsim’ Veygal has done just that to ‘Longest Day’, taking the track into unchartered terrain by matching PDigsss’ soulful vocals with driving synth lines and punchy bass for a bass bin-challenging affair.
 
Dhalsim is already a winner of the Otago University Student Association’s Future DJ competition, and now the Wellington native’s remix will take pride of place alongside Optimus Gryme, Truth and The Upbeats and more on Shapeshifter’s System Remix, due for release on Monday 21 March.
