Print: Mixed / Lee Perry remixed your life?


RTomens, 2022

You have mixed feelings?

You sometimes wish you could remix your life.

But should you do it? Imagine if you could appoint a producer...a sonic timelord, a god capable of taking your life so far and reconfiguring the original 'record' in such a way that it 'sounds' better...

Boost the bass, perhaps, for added weight. Add effects that bring it to life. Alter the speed a little? 

Would it be a Disco remix? Or a Reggae dub version?



Perhaps your life is less like a 'perfectly' produced Steely Dan track and more akin to the raw, Scratchy, maverick genius of a great Lee Perry dub and looking back, it's even pressed a little off-centre, creating a woozy, drunken impression of what has happened so far...
