release description

World-renowned Bay Area DJ/producer Miguel Migs returns with Those Things Remixed. The CD features 14 unique interpretations of original tracks from Migs' critically acclaimed 2007 album Those Things. The eclectic roster of artists recruited for remix duty ranges from British house duo Faze Action and Sade producer Cottonbelly to Swedish breakbeat artist Rasmus Faber.

Those Things Remixed further diversifies Miguel Migs' sound by offering new versions of album tracks from artists spanning the globe. UK band/DJ collective Crazy P offers a funkier, spaced-out take on "Sometime," while retaining - if not enhancing - Tim Fuller's soulful vocals. "Fire feat. Junior Reid" undergoes two drastic changes thanks to Cottonbelly's signature killer bass lines and Faze Action's Afro-Jazz inspired house rhythms. Australian producer Simon Grey adds a thick layer of funk and synths and perfectly complements Lisa Shaw's vocals on the title track, while Lithuania's Mario Basanov takes it down and deep on his remix "Can't Get Through feat. Tim Fuller." Eric Stamile brings a little wobbly electro funk to the table with his dub of "So Far " before Alix Alvarez drops in a warm and flowing take on "Mesmerized." Additional remixes on Those Things Remixed come from Rasmus Faber, Dolls Combers, J-Boogie, and of course, Miguel Migs.
