Brighton group CLT DRP have teamed up with NY’s Heather Elle better known as FLOSSING, for a remix of the band’s single ‘Ownership’. The rework is taken from CLT DRP’s limited edition cassette of their ‘Ownership’ single which also features the group’s cover version of the Dolly Parton cut ‘Why’d You Come In Here Lookin’ Like That’.
This remix is a punchy, in your face slapping of electro-punk which is powered by a hammering bass line, steamrolling drum programming and semi-distorted screams behind CLT DRP’ singer Annie Dorrett’s creeping vocals. The cut is edgy with a twist of darkness that would definitely be played in underground clubs in cities such as Berlin and London.
You can order the limited edition “ownership’ cassette on CLT DRP’s Bandcamp page.
Touching on the remix, Annie Dorrett said:
“I first heard Flossing a few months back when their single ‘Switch’ came out and was completely floored. Their lyrics really resonated with me, the gender fluidity and playfulness that came so naturally in their music got me hooked. Also just nice to have another queer artist resonate with our music and re-hash it in some new exciting way.”
Heather Elle added:
How could I turn down remixing a song in the BDSM arena? It’s also my first official remix, and remixes are the perfect excuse to push your genre boundaries and use new musical muscles. My process involves not listening to the original and to begin chopping away immediately. I’m not even 100% sure what the lyrics are in the second verse of the remix but I keep hearing ‘I’m Susan Sontag—now make some lentils!”
