Bahraini psychedelic band Flamingods released their latest EP Kewali earlier this year, which included the single ‘Mixed Blessings’.
Above, we’re premiering a remix of that track from Richard Norris, of The Grid and Beyond the Wizards Sleeve.
It’s the second time Norris has lent his remixing skills to a Quietus favourite, having applied his talents to a sublime reworking of Mary Epworth’s ‘Me, Swimming’ earlier this month, which premiered here on tQ.
Norris said of the collaboration: "I was DJing alongside Flamingods recently and thought their live show was phenomenal, the best I’ve seen in a long while. I wanted to capture that energy in this mix – a hypnotic soundtrack to a great night out. With added space echo."
Flamingods’ Kamal added: "We feel so blessed for his remix. He’s worked on so much music we’ve loved over the years from The Grid to Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve and his re-working, much like most of his work is hypnotic, psychedelic and trance-inducing. Just the way we like it!"
Flamingods play a London headline show at the Jazz Cafe on October 3. You can purchase tickets here
