Featured on Manu Chao's latest album "La Radiolina", the track Politik Kills is getting a very special treatment: reworked by various artists, an EP bringing together six different mixes will soon be available. And these are far from anonymous names: Dennis Bovell and LKJ, Chris Blackwell, Prince Fatty, Rude Barriobeat…
EP tracklist:
A1- Dennis Bovell (feat. LKJ) remix
A2- Prince Fatty remix
A3- Chris Blackwell & Paul "Groucho" Smyke remix
B1- Rude Barriobeat remix
B2- David B. remix
B3- Prince Fatty Instr. remix
Listen to the Prince Fatty and Dennis Bovell remixes, a version some of you may have discovered on 31 March on One Shot Note, a new Arte programme hosted by Manu Katché.
Until the project's release on 21 April, a website has been set up specially: www.politikills.com. Besides the superb video (shot in Monrovia, Liberia and directed by Manu Chao himself and Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire), you will find the various remixed versions, a free download (the vocal dub version of Dennis Bovell's mix with LKJ) and above all the chance to download the stems of the original track so you can make your own version! With, of course, the chance to see your remix played on the site. The icing on the cake of a devilishly original project.
