Radiohead - King Of Limbs Remixes

All I want is the moon on a stick, just to see what if......

It is no secret that Thom Yorke and his cronies have always been lovers of electronic music. From the early beginnings of Radiohead the band have grown from being a typical ’rock’ band into an innovative, alternative and thought provoking group. Over the years electronics have crept their way slowly but surely into the Radiohead sound; from their now classic Kid A LP with its techno infused anthem Idioteque all the way through to their most recent opinion dividing album The King Of Limbs. Whilst not recording with Radiohead Thom Yorke has found time to remix DOOM’s track Gazillion Ear and collaborate with some of underground electronics finest producers including Four Tet, Burial and Flying Lotus. Not only that but he has given people a view into his musical mind with his genre hopping DJ sets at venues across the world including Flying Lotus’ Low End Theory, London dance haven Plastic People and his secret DJ slot at this year’s Glastonbury with long time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

Now Radiohead have given up tracks from their latest album to some of their favourite producers to get behind the buttons for a series of vinyl released remixes and I have to say the Oxford boys have got great taste. The first duo to get the nod were Caribou’s Dan Snaith and Montreal based Jacques Greene which was then promptly followed by Nathan Fake and Mark Pritchard a.k.a Harmonic 313 taking over the reins, and I’m glad to say Radiohead aren’t stopping there. The next two instalments of the remix series include the likes of Lone, Pearson Sound, Four Tet, Thriller, Illum Sphere and Shed. Not only that but the series looks sure to continue for at least six to seven editions if the email I received from Radiohead’s official website is anything to go by. So I’d keep my eyes peeled if I were you....

“We’re not EXACTLY sure how many there will be in the series as more remixes are still coming in, but we think it will be around 6 or 7.”

Each of the 12” can be picked up from independent record stores across the country or from the King of Limbs store. If vinyl isn’t your thing you can also get your hands on them digitally here.

Take a listen to the third edition of the series from Lone, Pearson Sound and Four Tet below:
