ROB DOUGAN – CLUBBED TO DEATH

A long-standing favourite of mine. The mix of classical strings and beats gets me everytime. Released on Mo’ Wax initally in 1995 and then released a number of further times on major labels, this is a mega hit that never was. Here it is in its lesser-known Tom Middleton club remix form.

Rob Dougan – Clubbed To Death (Tom Middleton Remix)

Bio from discogs: Rob Dougan, who started as Rob D, is an Australian genre-blending music composer. Mixing the sound of orchestral film music, the beats of club Trip Hop, and bluesy vocals, he is only tangentially relatable to electronic music. He was known primarily for his 1995 breakthrough single “Clubbed To Death (kurayamino mix)”, popularized by 1999’s The Matrix soundtrack. In 2002, 7 years after its initial release he released the track in the UK on his debut album Furious Angels. He was born in Sydney, Australia and moved to London, UK ca. 1990.
