MF33 Volume 3 is out on Mighty Force and I have a remix on it: Lock To Grid by Long Range Desert Group.
Long Range Desert Group are a project that has been part of the Mighty Force world for some time and whose approach to sound I find genuinely distinctive. There is a cinematic quality to their work, a sense of scale and landscape, that sets them apart from a lot of what is happening in the same sonic territory. Lock To Grid has that quality: it feels like music for a very large space.
My remix takes that spaciousness and focuses it. Rather than the wide-angle perspective of the original I’ve gone for something more close-up, more insistent, a groove that holds the track in place while the atmospheric elements that made the original compelling continue to move around it. The result sits somewhere between deep breakbeat and the more ambient qualities of the source material.
Being on MF33 Volume 3 alongside the artists that Mighty Force has assembled is another marker of how much the relationship with this label has meant to the direction of my work over the past few years. From Lost Cause Part Two in 2022 through to this compilation appearance, the Mighty Force context has consistently produced some of the work I’m most proud of.
There is more coming through this label. More on that shortly.
