Electronic and alternative pop artist Neil Macleod releases the remixed works of his highly praised EP 'We Have Known Lost Days', heroically stacked with producers from across Aotearoa New Zealand and Europe. Throwing Snow, Second Self, Leaping Tiger, Proteins of Magic, Brainwaltzera, Amamelia and 2XM unite to articulate their takes on a track each, while thoughtfully paying homage to the original.
On 15th of February, Particle Recordings present the third remix in the series with Throwing Snow reworking ‘Downwards’.
Throwing Snow is a prolific London-based producer that has released numerous well-received EPs and 12” singles since 2007, releasing on Local Action, Ho Tep, Sneaker Social Club and Houndstooth, and has previously remixed tracks by Gold Panda, Heathered Pearls and Ital Tek. He attended the Red Bull Music Academy in New York, sharing studio time with Four Tet and Flying Lotus, has played two Boiler Room sets, supported Bonobo on his European tour and played alongside Atoms For Peace and Jon Hopkins in 2013.
In this remix, he showcases his exquisite trademark production with a dramatic build-up of layers and mind-whirling effects, playing on the powerful and cinematic aspects of MacLeod’s song with a deep warmth and glistening crispness, slowly dismantling the track into a piece of deconstructed club music.
MacLeod is one to watch as he quickly rises, performing a flurry of sold-out shows in both the North and South Island, opening for acts such as Drax Project and hailing support from BBC Radio 6 Music, DAZED, Dublab, Pilerats, RNZ, Hyper Medium, Under the Radar, and Sniffers to name a few.
DAZED wrote 'Neil MacLeod articulates a very specific strain of percussive electronic soul music. Set against stuttering backbeats that draw from the LA beats and post-dubstep traditions, he blends tastefully digitally manipulated vocals with electronic textures and melodies. The results are a richly cinematic set of songs that put the darker side of human nature under the microscope’.
