gassing gangsters remix

Whitebait's remix of a Victor Xray track, 'Gassing Gangsters (Psybait inna dumpster mix)', is now up and available for your listening pleasure at the now more funked up Psybait myspace site (the photo of the surreal building featuring in the background was taken at Tokyo's Ueno park).

Victor Xray  (aka Scott) is a Brisbane-based electronic musician (also part of the Clan Analogue collective). Check his website, 'The Horse He Sick', as well as myspace, for loads of excellent musical downloads and to hear the original version of this track. What kind of tracks you ask? Well more recently, as his bio notes, he has been 'exploring the sounds of UK-garage-derived genres such as breakbeat, dubstep, etc'. And he does an excellent live show as Whitebait can attest from seeing him perform in Northcote recently. A big thanks to him for providing me the materials to work with.   

Whitebait's remix doesn't feature a kick drum--shock horror,  no doof, doof!--so don't be afraid to listen to it if the other psybait tracks weren't your cuppa! I was inspired here by the great title and ominous mood of the original (helped out by Scott's tastefully selected John Barry sample). For some reason I decided that in the remix the gangsters were being gassed in a dumpster - hence the banging that opens and closes the track. A very strange and unlikely take, I guess, but it just grew from there.

Hi Brian,

Can you send me a WAV version of the remix so I can work out what release it should go on?
