rJKT010 – Strung Out In Reno EP
Wow! It’s been a heck of a journey . . . And long may it continue . . .
As part of the ongoing adventures of “some blokes who call themselves rEJEKTS for some reason” we are happy to offer more gems from the studio. We were originally going to put this EP out under the alias of “Species” and not as a rEJEKT release (when you hear it you’ll understand). It’s a more organic and musical vibe to the normal deep throbbing slightly “weird shit” that we have made a career from releasing. We hired the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra (surprisingly cheap) to do the strings for a film project we were working on (their voices and laughter can also be heard on our 2011 release for Maintain replay called Username Password). . . . . .
Anyway! The lush rich sounding strings inspired us to try something a little different with a more organic sound. We’re not claiming to be the next Kruder And Dorfmeisser or anything but still, we think we gave it a good effort.
Now all this forward thinking poses a new problem. Who cool enough to remix such gems? After minutes of deliberation we came upon the good eggs that are Brett Johnson (Of previous Visionquest / Get Physical fame and one of the original US house producers on labels like Phil Week’s Robsoul and Derrick Carter’s Classic Music Company) and also Mykel Haze (Hot Creations / Noir Music) who happened to be launching his new Kosmic Disko alias at the time and offered to submit 2 remixes. Both are sublime and the first of which appears on this EP. File under alternative . . . . . .
