World-renowned for decades, Mark de Clive-Lowe is a New Zealand-born, Tokyo-based pianist, composer and producer, widely recognised as a pioneer in nu-jazz, broken beat and electronic music.
In contrast to his previous release on Impressive Collective, the contemplative solo project 'past present (tone poems across time)', this collection brings together MdCL’s extraordinary reinterpretations of other artists’ work. As he explains:
“Remixing has always meant more to me than just rearranging stems - it’s about uncovering a new reality inside the music.”
From the uplifting gospel-house of Close Counters’ 'I’ll Be There For You', recontextualised for the broken beat dancefloor, to the timelessly angelic tones of We Are KING’s ‘Supernatural'; from Omar’s 'This Is Not A Love Song' reimagined almost 30 years later, to the politically charged intensity of Anthony Joseph’s 'Maka Dimweh' - every remix has been crafted with the progressive dancefloor in mind, while still resonating for the deep listener and always in service to the original artist’s essence.
“I’m grateful to every artist who’s invited me to dive into their work - to deconstruct it and reimagine it with love, curiosity and respect. This compilation isn’t just a retrospective, it’s a celebration of the remix as an art form.”
Track listings vary by format:
Tortured Souls “Did You Miss Me” is vinyl-only, Omar’s “This Is Not A Love Song” appears on vinyl and bundled download, while Syndee Winters’ “If You Believe”, Recloose’s “Catch A Leaf”, Bobbito Garcia’s “Park Pick Up Player” and Yameen’s “Cosmosis” are exclusive to the digital editions.
