One of the most unique pieces of modern dance music one will ever hear, LCD Soundsystem’s 45:33 was originally a one-off Nike collaboration for iTunes. However, due to overwhelming demand for a proper release, the work was subsequently expanded and made available on CD and vinyl in November, 2007.
On 45:33 Remixes, segments of the record are lovingly and respectfully reinterpreted by some of dance music’s most innovative players. With the remixes placed in a sequential order based on the section each artist chose to remix, the whole piece creates a perfect and refreshingly liberal interpretation of the 45:33 album. The global selection of remixers include everyone from Brookyn’s Runaway and Norway’s Prins Thomas to Berlin’s techno technician Riley Reinhold and Paris’ celebrated Pilooski. However, nothing can compete with the special delivery that DFA got from Detroit when Theo Parrish snail-mailed his “Space Cadet Remix”; it will undoubtedly prove to be the most celebrated remix of 2009. Its legend was immense before it was even released.
