Nightswimming

Ive been busy for the past week, but the time has come for me to move into the new house in Newcastle. So I thought I would check out Digital (http://www.yourfutureisdigital.com/) to see what lies in store for the time I'm up and the next couple of months.


Although Kissy has been DJ'ing since god knows when, he has just pulled together a full band to perform live gigs. Unfortunately, this will not be the set up when he visits Digital on the 15th of August. This date seems to be the only one of many where he is returning to the turntables. Kissy Sell Out appears to be one of the very few DJ's that constantly changes his sets keeping the crowd on their toes with an arsenal of unpredictable bangers from the past and present. I personally think that he will be fun to hear as most of his own music / remixes have a 'happy' vibe to them, never mind his airhorn! I think you should definitely attend this one if your about.

Kissy's remix work seems to have a bit of a marmite effect, i personally like most of the stuff I've heard, from the quirky high-pitched melodies from his remixes of 'Stop Me' by Mark Ronson and 'Wind It Up' by Gwen Stefani, to his reworking of the piano on the recent 'Nightswimming' by R.E.M. So I thought I would share this little number with you as it has grown on me and I think it's a perfect summer song, if it was actually sunny around here! I particularly like the cut-up vocal that also appears in Sinden's remix of 'Prettty Girls' by Stuffa. 'What? Brrrrat!':
