You’ve bought the album, you now need to get your hands on the O.Children REMIX album…

Twelve of the best artists, producers and remixers have taken some of our tracks and remixed them in a variety of styles. You may have heard one or two already but the vast majority are unheard and exclusive our soon to be released REMIX album.

Tracklist:

Fault Line (Canblaster Remix)

First up, French prodigy Canblaster puts his stamp on Fault Line. Highly charged from the get go, Canblaster utilises his knowledge of vintage synthesizers to bring great intensity and varying melody to the track.

Heels (Chad Valley Remix)

Oxford’s Chad Valley aka – Hugo Manuel delivers a remarkably beautiful remix of the melodic Heels. The beats meld and flow flawlessly throughout, it’s a real assertion from the newcomer.

Don’t Dig (JoeAndWillAsk Remix)

Taking on one of the more stripped down tracks on the album, Joe and Will Ask are progressively becoming one of the most talked about and respected DJ duos in the country. They bring a tinglingly good tempo to the spine-chilling Don’t Dig.

Fault Line (Shuttle Remix)

Passion Pit drummer Nate Donmoyer aka Shuttle, takes a break from banging the skins to serve up a deft rendition of Fault Line. With stripped back vocals that sound almost operatic, it’s a real touch of class.

Heels (Melé Remix)

Another up and comer, UK based Melé has skillfully crafted his own style of house and grime and has subsequently become one of the most sought after young DJ’s in the country. His remix of Heels features a barrage of beats and bleeps and brings a Garage vibe to the track.

Dead Disco Dancer (TheGoldenFilter Remix)

A remix which was deemed worthy of it’s own release, The Golden Filter rework of the bands first single received global recogniton. Renowned for their stunning remixes, from the first rousing note of this track, it really is breath taking.

Heels (AC Slater Remix)

AC Slater needs no introduction having received global recognition for both his own productions and remixes. Sped up and intensified, this remix of Heels ascends entrancingly and drops into some real rhythmical beats.

Ruins (Heartbreak Remix)

Hearthbreak dish up a real throwback to the 80’s with this remix of Ruins which ventures into the sounds of the Italo-Disco. It brings a lighter edge to the brooding and grave Ruins.

Heels (Mugwump Remix)

Made up of Geoffroy & Kolombo, Mugwump are part of the booming Belgian export dance scene. They bring a real Balearic beat to their rendition on Heels. It’s disco at it’s finest.

Ruins (Drop The Lime’s Afterhours Mix)

Trouble & Bass boss man Drop The Lime delivers a stirring and cavernous Afterhours mix of the bands second single ‘Ruins’. Showing a real understanding of the tracks elements, you get a version that is both dense and elaborate, delving deep into the darkest sounds around.

Don’t Dig (Jam Factory Remix)

(Struggling to find any info on the guys behind this remix – can anyone give me a sentence?) With a steady undercurrent that in parts is reminiscent of a lot of old school house, Jam Factory turn the tempo down in their take on Don’t Dig.

Ruins (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)

Another remix which has already tore up dance floors in every corner of the globe, the Jokers Of The Scene deliver a highly charged and intense rework of Ruins. With unrelenting energy the track brings a real fitting closure to the album.

…but don’t despair, we are here to bring warmth to your hearts.

Following a successful UK tour we are now back in the bosom of our families and looking forward to 2011. Before the year is out though there are a couple of things that you should be aware of.

On Wednesday 1st December we have been asked to perform at the Old Blue Last as part of their 6th Birthday Celebrations. This will be our last live appearance of 2010 so if you can make it down we’d love to see you for festive fun and frolics.

As you’re all no doubt aware our self-titled debut album was released in June this year. Thanks to all who went out and bought the album. We appreciate all the support. If you want to hear more from us a remix album is on its way… more details to follow…

So as the autumnal colours fade to wintry white and greys until June next year remember that, when played loudly, our album can bring light and warmth to even the coldest and darkest reaches of this fair isle and beyond…
