Fast and Cheap Mixes

Untitled

Fast And Cheap Mixes is the 2010 remix album project by HK119. The album is a collection of remixes of tracks from her 2008 album Fast, Cheap And Out Of Control, after all the tracks were made available in their individual parts via HK119's official website as part of a competition for anyone to sumbit their own remixes of the tracks to be considered for a later release.

London based Electronica netlabel Bit-Phalanx commissioned it's entire roster of artists to remix one of the tracks each and compiled their own remix album of the Fast, Cheap And Out Of Control tracks. The original intention was for Bit-Phalanx to release the album through their own netlabel, but the album quickly caught the attention of One Little Indian Records who offered to give the album an official digital release in 2010.

The 11 remixes that feature on the album all cover very different areas of the Electronica genre. Including dubstep, acid, IDM, Electro, Drum and bass, abstract, ambiant and Electro-acoustic.

On 4 December 2009 online music magazine, Wears The Trousers, gave away a free 6 minute megamix mp3 featuring selections from each remix on the album, as part of the magazines weekly 'Free Music Friday.

On 7 December 2009, Bit-Phalanx released a free bonus 7 track EP of additional remixes of the track 'C'est La Vie'. The original track was issued as Fast, Cheap And Out Of Control's lead single, and was specifically omitted from 'Fast And Cheap Mixes' to make more of a feature out of the EP, which included mixes from other guest artists as well as other remixes from acts featured on the album.

'Fast And Cheap Mixes' has currently recevied it's exclusive first digital release through the Bleep.com digital store, with all other general online retailers to follow throughout Winter/Spring 2010.
