What Canto Is It?

Here's another edit/bootleg I did recently. Luke Solomon from Classic asked me to remix one of my favourites from the Classic catalogue and I picked 3rd Face "Canto Della Liberta".

While fiddling about with it, I soon realised that it worked perfectly with one of my old tracks, "What Day Is It?" on Playtime, so I sent the result to Luke who loved it and instantly wanted to release it. Unfortunately there were some publishing issues with releasing it officially, so instead here it is free:

Animal Collective Unofficial Edit

One of the things I've incorporated into my live set is music from elsewhere that has truly inspired me. But I've tried not to just play the original track as a DJ would, but instead attempted to do "live" remixes of said music.

One example I used is a track off the recent stunning Animal Collective album "Merriweather Post Pavilion". (If you haven't heard the album yet, where have you been? You need it in your life! Buy it on iTunes here.)

What I did with the track got such a huge reaction when I played it in my first live set that I decided I really had to commit it to...er...mp3. And here it is for your listening pleasure:

Animal Collective - My Girls (Mike Monday's Unofficial Remix)

It is completely unofficial so if you like it please support the brilliant, wonderful, marvellous Animal Collective and buy their album or if you can't stretch to that, then at least the track "My Girls".

Oh and here's some of the reactions I've had from a few DJ luminaries I've sent it to:

BEN WATT:
"ace! played it at the arches"

PHILLIP JUNG (MANDY):
f**king great remix of the animal collective
"really really good man! played it out twice already."

LAURENT GARNIER:
"yes yes yes mister Monday
