Maarten van der Vleuten Vs Use Of Ashes, The - The Ice Mixes

Actually it is very strange how I got to do this remix.

When I was about 16/17 years old I was completely into New Wave and experimental synthesizer bands, and one of my favorites was Mekanik Kommando. So last year (2004) I finally found their debut album for sale on the internet. (I only had it on a cassette from a friend for 24 years). The guy who sold it to me turned out to be the owner of Tonefloat, their current record company. (after they changed their name into The Use of Ashes). He then mailed me that they just recently had been talking about dance mixes of their new tracks to broaden their audience but they had not find any remixers so far, and now they found me (or I them...)
...and so it was agreed that I would be making the remixes...

The other amazing thing about it is that I just started producing again (I didn't record any music for two years due to a lot of personal shit) and I was really trying to find out where my position was in the dance scene after two years of silence.

We all fellt like this was more than just a coincidence.


Technical stuff...
For the remixes I used only the intro of the track "Northstar", and the beats, the white noises and vocals (all cut-up from the 90 bpm original) of "Ice And The Snowbeetles". (taken from their album Ice 67).
