What rejected remix was turned into 'Tranquility Base - Razorfish'?
Pulled from the Anjunabeats new site (www.anjunabeats.com) this interesting info on one of my fave tracks Tranqulity Base - Razorfish
"
Tranquility Base was started as a side project to enable us to release a remix which was rejected. We’d tried to make a certain record sound a little cooler than it did, and we thought we’d succeeded. Unfortunately, the A&R man (who shall remain clueless) disagreed, describing our mix as “crap”. Secretly we were delighted, as a rejected remix is a free track for us, so we changed the riff and put it out under a pseudonym. It remains our favourite production - somehow we made a perfect sounding record - and with the magic words “progressive mix” on the sleeve we started picking up plays from virtually every major DJ we’d ever heard of, including Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Dave Pearce, and even Sasha.
Incidentally, as if to prove the idiocy of the A&R man in question, when we sent him the finished version he rang back straight away, screaming “I love this new track you’ve done - don’t sign it to anyone until you talk to me!”
We did neither.
