The Glass - Remixes & Rarities

16.3.2008 von mk.

New Yorkers The Glass’ “Couples Therapy” EP came out in 2007 and created a wave of interest especially with DJs, bloggers and promoters. Since then The Glass have been touring pretty much constantly and many of their tracks and remixes have been hitting the dancefloors hard. Most of those remixes and some of their earlier releases have only been available on the blogs, on 12″es and as promos.With that in mind the band (Dominique Keegan and Glen ‘DJ Wool’ Brady) decided to release a full length CD of their remixes and rarities. Besides mixes by some of their favourite producers - Mylo, Eli Escobar, Rinocerose, Copenhagen’s Supertroels and more - the album also includes some of the many remixes The Glass have done for other bands in the past year. Indie boys Robbers On High Street get a disco workout, Norway’s 120 Days (Vice Rec) get a bass heavy club rinsing and Antipop (Telepopmusik’s Christophe Hetier) featuring Italian starlet Asia Argento gets a sexy re-groove. The album also includes The Glass’ first release “Won’t Bother Me”, previously only ever available as a 12″ or on mix compilations, and in heavy demand from fans, especially on myspace. Other gems include 2020 Soundsystem vs The Glass’ “No Order”, and up and comers Arveene & Misk’s remix of “Mad At You” that has been getting play from Boyz Noise, Digitalism, Freeform Five and many many more…The Glass have approached their recent music in a new direction by allowing the bloggers post many of their tracks and the feedback has been incredible. A recent DJ mix on Sweden’s Discobelle has been downloaded 13000 times in less than a week and their recent tour of Europe brought them as far East as Skopje, Macedonia, and to France’s “Transmusicales” festival where they played live in front of 4000 people. All this with no major releases, no publicity campaigns and shoestring touring budgets.www.myspace.com/theglass
