about

This retrospective encapsulates Alcala’s formative years of indie and electro remixes via 10 genre-clashing, melodious, and surprisingly varied dance floor explorations from a time when the Hype Machine and bloghouse reigned supreme. An era heavily inspired by remix legends like Stuart Price, James Holden, and countless others who helped transform pop and indie rock classics into expansive hands-in-the-air dance music epics.

Each of the selected tracks have been given new life with careful refinements along with the engineering and studio wizardry of Alex Hamadey at Hyperballad Music. Filled with essential classics, slept-on gems, and forgotten rarities, RMXD is not the definitive history of Alcala’s early years, but rather a culmination of the varied strands of vocal-driven electro, synth pop, downtempo, and deep house that defined the indie sound of the 2010’s.

The collection rounds up some of his best of output of the era, bouncing between certified juggernaut anthem ‘Midnight City’ by M83, the bold and euphoric rush of Metric's ‘Help I’m Alive’, 80s electro disco workout and Dragonette remix contest winner, ‘Pick Up The Phone’, the sub-heavy throb of indie sleaze icon Uffie’s ‘ADD SUV’, the lulling gorgeousness of Lindbergh Palace’s ‘Days Don’t Fade’, the lesser-celebrated - but no less stellar, ambient version of ‘Pumped up Kicks’ and the melancholic yet blissful finale, ‘Gone from My Sight’.
