Gaslamp Killer chops, edits, echos and scratches The Heliocentrics in two parts.
"Gaslamp Killer is one of our favorite DJs and a big supporter of the Heliocentrics, recently saying that Heliocentrics producer and drummer Malcolm Catto "is the reason I got into all of this shit." That inspiration comes through in this mix of GLK re-edits of some of the best tracks from their new album 13 Degrees of Reality and the series of EPs that Now-Again will launch in 2014. He also mixes in some music from 60s ensembles that influenced the band." Asked for some backstory to this project, GLK wrote: "In 2008 (Stones Throw art director) Jeff Jank asked me to make a Heliocentrics podcast for Stones Throw to help promote the guys first album. It was one of my most fun & unique mixes. Here we are five years later in 2013 and again, I was asked to make a mix of some of the bands newest material from their superb album entitled 13 Degrees of Reality that was just released and I was even granted access to some of the unreleased sessions that I had been hearing so much about for so many years from Egon. It is an honor that I present this, (my newest mix) HELIO X GLK to the world. My chopped up / re-edited madness from the band they call The Heliocentrics!
