Addy Weitzman - Beyond The Speed of Life (The Field Remix) / Stranger to Your Kind (ddwy Remix)

Slacker 85 proudly expands Addy Weitzman’s acclaimed debut album, ‘Light Months Will Fly Over Us’, introducing a psychedelic set of remixes from like-minded artists across a resurgent indie-dance scene, finding fresh approaches to the new-wave, romantic pop and art rock passions at the heart of Weitzman’s prolific recordings.

The Field has spent decades perfecting textural, electronic minimalism with fully-formed pop songwriting, teasing out melody from textures for slow-burning satisfaction. Such is the case on the Swedish artist’s triumphant reimagining of ‘Beyond the Speed Of Life’ as a gauzy, hypnotic dreamscape, from which Weitzman’s querying vocal gradually rises from the deepest of beats.

Through prior releases on Public Possession and Test Pressing, ddwy have recently emerged as cult heroes of a resurgent UK DIY electronic scene, conjuring magic and sonic bliss from their kitchen table in suburban London. Their absorbing take on ‘Stranger to Your Kind’ paints a Balearic sunset portrait with washes of dub synthesis and strange modulations, ethereal voices and a distantly ringing phone, recalling The Orb or KLF at their most chilled-out.

A previously unheard Footprintz version of ‘Beyond the Speed of Life’ revisits Weitzman’s former project with Clarian and the song’s origins, providing an intriguingly angular alternative to the album’s theatrical lament, as well as a pleasing trip back to the musicality and experimentation of the early 2010s, when the duo first crossed paths with Slacker’s founder, Seth Troxler.

Addy Weitzman - 'Beyond The Speed of Life (The Field Remix)' is released 09/04, while 'Stranger to Your Kind (ddwy Remix)' & 'Beyond The Speed of Life (Footprintz Remix)' follow on 24/04. On that date, these will all be incorporated into a deluxe edition of the LP 'Light Months Will Fly Over Us'. Pre-save - https://orcd.co/6eorlx7
