We’re down for this white-label. There’s charm in the no-name, no-label no-BS tracks; they’re perfectly content to exist in obscurity: no flashiness, no waving of banners. It’s just a track to find and appreciate on it’s own merit. Well here’s one, which I, admittedly, gave a listen to because it’s obviously a dubstep remix (because hey, who’s heard much dubtronica lately? Bill Laswell where are you?) & obviously a remix of Richard James’, better known as Aphex Twin’s, facemelting IDM dissertation ‘Windowlicker’. Ah yes, ‘Windowlicker’, from ‘99, back when Aphex Twin was indoctrinating people into his cult of Let’s-See-How-Far-We-Can-Push-Things, with support from the director Chris Cunningham, who really helped usher in the contemporary music video. Let’s reflect on the original video in HD at YouTube.

MP3: Unknown Artist vs Aphex Twin – Dublicker (2009)
[ 12mb | 284kbps vbr | 5:42 | Genre: Dubstep ]
The tune was nicked from a white-marbled UK pressing. Producer step forward and claim your prize—or not—mystery is allure. The release is Boots001; Boots for bootleg, presumably. Witty.
Snag the real mccoy on wax at our favorite, Turntable Lab.

Edit (11-21-209): Our close personal homeboy and favorite sampleslaya Sharooz (Hell Yeah!) alerted us that the ‘Unknown Artist’ is, in fact London-based Spaniard Chevy One, of Breakbeat pedigree. More propa tunes on his MySpace!
