In the remix of Caravan Palace's "Raccoons," Gaudi and Don Letts weave their dub magic, transforming the original into a lush, rhythmic landscape. The track, which once danced lightly through the electro-swing world, now takes on a richer, deeper tone, where each beat feels like a pulse from the heart of dub itself.
Gaudi, whose touch has graced legends like Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and The Orb, brings his signature alchemy to the table.
His production is like a finely woven tapestry, where bass lines ripple through the mix like echoes in a canyon. Every note seems to bend and sway, infused with the spirit of reggae, but propelled by the energy of the dancefloor. Letts, the godfather of punk’s reggae embrace, adds a touch of mystique, his influence breathing new life into the track while honoring its roots.
Together, they don’t just remix "Raccoons"; they reimagine it.
The song becomes a journey, where each dub-inflected twist and turn draws you deeper into its hypnotic groove. It’s a meeting of old and new, where the rebellious spirit of punk meets the timeless sway of dub, and Caravan Palace’s dance-ready anthem is reborn. Gaudi and Letts have created something more than a remix—it’s an exploration of rhythm, culture, and the transformative power of sound.
