NOTES
They say, good things come to those who wait, and that fittingly describes the
latest 12 inch offering from Public Transit Recordings. LAL Lost Remixes is a
collection of unreleased gems from the Toronto based electronic band. For
those unfamiliar with LAL they represent sonic activism and the cross-cultural
Canadian experience. Their music draws from South Asian, West Indian, Latin
and African communities "with a deep commitment to social justice." According
to lead singer Rosina, LAL is "the new Canadian sound represented by first
generation from immigrant experiences, heavily influenced by European and
North American culture." They will soon release their third full-length album
called "Deportation".
The Lost Remixes Ep features banging remixes from Alister Johnson (Do Right),
Dimlite (Sonar Kollektiv), Arch_Typ (BagPak, Raw Fusion) and PTR's own
Moonstarr. Each remix brings on a unique twist to the diverse LAL sound.
Alister Johnson's Saturn mix takes you through a jazz dance workout, with a
serious flute solo towards the end. Dimlite's remix of Saturn takes on a more
head nodding approach. While Arch_Typ's twisted up remix of Raindrops uses
brushed drums and takes shuffled beats to a whole new level. Finally
Moonstarr's take on Shallow Water goes back to his drum and bass roots, with a
nice dirty snare thrown in. Enjoy!
