Upon hearing Daft Punk's brilliant new album, 'Random Access Memories', this past May, two of our favorite producers were immediately inspired. The Potholes Music duo of AbJo and LAKIM then quickly got to work on flipping a few of the standout cuts on the record to create the Random Access Remixes EP. These include epic closing track 'Contact', the Panda Bear-assisted 'Doin' It Right', and throwback synth-epic 'Touch.'
Each and every RAM tune selected by AbJo and LAKIM was meticulously chopped-up and reinterpreted into something entirely new. What's most impressive is how they both tackled 'Doin' It Right' with a completely different and refreshing approach. On one hand, you have AbJo's self-described 'Turn Up RMX' that transforms the laid-back jam into a shot of audio adrenaline. Moments later, LAKIM's flexing his love for G-funk on his 'Left Coast G-Mix', which is sure to stay in your summer rotation right alongside the original.
Welcome to 'Obrigado!', a brazilian inspired beat tape, full of released and unreleased beats of mine that fit in the category of beats coming from minha alma (my soul, for the natively english speaking folks).
This mixtape is my prequel to a long awaited, much anticipated, thoroughly contemplated KC.93/Midnight Kids beat tape, which, still untitled, should be released early spring next year. Until then, take your soul (alma) on a ride and let this be your early reminder that another summer soon comes, and that this is one of many soundtracks to that summer madness...
