Freeland, Cope Remixed

Adam Freeland is one of the pioneers behind the nu skool breaks movement and the founder of the Marine Parade label. We first brought you news of Freeland’s new musical project and album back in June; well, now he's breaking new ground yet again with a totally remixed version of the release linked to his latest side project. How is a remix album breaking any new ground? Simply put, we can’t remember the last time someone brought together such a variety of artists from different genres to work on a single project.

The double-length album includes a new and exciting exploration of the remixing arts with the experimental rock/electronic hybrid of El Ten Eleven and the space disco of Prinz Thomas. Equally fresh is the touch such electronic and glitch hybrid men like Nosaj Thing, Siriusmo. and the electronic duo of Marty Party and the Glitch Mob’s OOAH (who make up the group PANTyRAiD) bring to the proceedings. The exploding genre of dubstep is represented by super heavyweights Joker, TRG, and Emalkay. High Rankin even throws his dubstep remix in the ring and then tackles a second song where he takes a stab at the kind of bassline house that puts his version side-by-side with the version AC Slater delivers. Electro interpretations are contributed by French and UK outlets Golden Bug, Shadow Dancer, and Grum. Various degrees of house are visited by Alex Metric, My Faust, and Zombie Nation, while techno is represented to the same degree by Marc Romboy, Gui Boratto, and Glimpse. Drum-and-bass renditions are presented by Bristol’s TC and Welsh duo Jenkinsound. Even Marine Parade’s own Evil Nine makes an appearance with an instrumental breakbeat example of a Freeland original.

As you can see, there’s a whole lot to explore throughout this 24-track extravaganza. Time to get started.
