ORBITAL HOLIDAY MIXES 1: STEEL CUBE IDOLATRY
Right. I’m having a couple of weeks off work in which I will be decorating. I hate decorating. But there will be posts. All the morning ones will be from Orbital. There may or may not be anything for the rest of the day. All the morning posts will be from a 2001 remix competition on the excellent Loopz site.
The 2001 Remix Competition was run in the year 2001 but didnt close until the very end of the year. 87 enteries created a nightmare for the Qualifying round judges. The idea was to have 10 finalist but it was decided to have 13 in the end! The rules for the competition were as follows:-
Only one entry per person
No Megamix (The remix should be of one track only)
No Dj mixes
The remixer is responsible for creating their own samples and no samples will be issued to anyone
This first remix takes Steel Cube Idolatry as its starting point. This goes for a slow chiming approach with acid undertow. Uses the ‘Mobius’ sample from Star Trek.
Taking time off work to decorate doesn’t sound like any fun at all.
