I love a surprising remix. There’s something whimsical about seeing how a whole can creatively exceed the sum of its parts. How 1 + 1 > 2. Back in the early 2000's, I was obsessed with Portishead's Live at Roseland NYC album. I was utterly drawn to the thick, syrupy beats, and heavy and haunting melodies that ushered in the genre of Trip Hop. It wasn't until years later that I learned that the beat that I loved so much in Glory Box, arguably their biggest single, was in fact a remix of Isaac Haye’s 1971 song “Ike’s Rap II.”
