Smalltown Supersound announces expansive remix anthology featuring Four Tet, DJ Harvey, Loraine James, more
The 40-track set covers remixes put out by the label over the last two decades
Smalltown Supersound is releasing a remix anthology compilation. Listen to Lindstrøm 'Faar-i-kaal (Charli XCX vs Twin Idol remix)' below.
'Remix Anthology Vol. 1-4 2002-2022' collects 40 remixes put out by the Norwegian label over the last 20 years, with contributions from the likes of Four Tet, Loraine James, DJ Harvey, Oneohtrix Point Never, Charli XCX, Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Python, Actress, Huerco S., Laurel Halo and Parris, among others. Check the full tracklist below.
The compilation also takes in four previously unreleased remixes by Prins Thomas, Scan 7, Idjut Boys and Einstürzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke.
"The remixes done for the artists on Smalltown Supersound have in my mind always been done with the idea that it should fit the label's DNA," label founder Joakim Haugland said of the compilation. "That it should be part of the red thread of the label. And that we one day would release the remixes on a compilation, and that the compilation would tell the story of the label and the artists.
"This remix collection has been in the back of my head for the last 20 years, but it's only just now I finally felt that it all came together, as a larger whole."
Smalltown Supersound was launched in 1993 and has put out records by the likes of Todd Terje, Lindstrøm, Kelly Lee Owens, Perila, Prins Thomas and more in the years since.
You can listen to Charli XCX and Twin Idol's collaborative remix of 'Faar-i-kaal' by Lindstrøm below, with the full release due out on 14th April.
In November, Smalltown Supersound released an album by rRoxymore, called 'Perpetual Now', with a Kelly Lee Owens record, 'LP.8', arriving six months earlier.
