Hensforth, one of Canada’s promising young DJs/Producers, gives DJ Shadow’s ‘Midnight In A Perfect World’ (from his groundbreaking first album ‘Endtroducing’) the special remix treatment that’ll easily do the trick to keep the club kids bobbin’ like chickenheads!
What ever happened to ‘Trip Hop‘ anyway? Hmm.

MP3: DJ Shadow-Midnight in a Perfect World (Hensforth Remix)
Here are a couple more Hensforth remixes, taking yet again classic songs from the nineties era (this time in the rock vein) and blending them with present-day artists to keep the alternative/hip hop folks happy…
This one’s got some rap samples from Mike Jones‘ ‘Still Tippin’ track over Smashing Pumpkins‘ ‘Zero’ for a B-More-Rap-Rock joint that will murder on the dancefloor…

Somehow, I just wasn’t thrilled with that Hole mashup. Violet is so good to begin with; I could feel myself getting into it the most when they were just playing the original, unedited song, and when they’d start to chop it up, it broke the natural flow and kinda left me hanging.
Props to Hensforth and his quality taste in music, though.

Whatever did happen to trip hop. I must say i heard a track on radio one recently that sounded like earthling so maybe it’s due a revival

Was the photo taken at Amoeba Records? Good God I love that place
I believe the shot is from Amoeba in SF. My album cover will be Beat Street in Vancouver!
Loved the Shadow remix. So much so, that it opened up a mix I did of some of my favorite tracks from the last year or so! 50 tracks in just over 60 minutes - fun stuff!
