Toots & The Maytals - 54 46(Phibes Official Remix)
BEATPORT EXCLUSIVE LINK - https://www.beatport.com/release/54-46-was-my-number/3245401
We don`t do big posts often and we've kept this under wraps for a long time and its been really hard to not spill the beans. But its finally release day and its truly our lifes honour to have been asked to do an official remix for Toots and the Maytals.
We`ve been listening to their music since we were kids due to our dad being a big fan, and we`ve heard so many remixes of this song in raves over the years and honestly we have loved them all but because of that it made it really difficult to put our own spin on it.
Moreso while we were writing and constantly rewriting this tune trying to put abit of ourselves into it, maybe trying a little to hard at times, toots sadly passed away on September 11th 2020 💔
A blow felt by many cultures of people who appreciated and recognised the solid gold standard he and his band had set for ska and reggae music worldwide.
This remix then became almost impossible to finish due to pressure in our own minds to deliver somthing worthy. It honestly drove us abit over the edge and we deleted various attempts. It was only when we reminded ourselves after having a chance meeting with him at Glastonbury afew years ago after playing a set after them, that Toots did his own thing, they were a band with raw power, their live set was amazing, we sat at the side of the stage in awe of the energy they still had decades into their career.
Toots had a power of command on the mic, a true entertainer, he owned that stage in his own way, in the same way their recordings stand the test of time, with raw soul and fearlessness. So we rewrote it again with this in mind, from a rawer angle, we tried to create a remix that should be played out live and enjoyed loud with toots vocals and Reese basses working together as one.
I can't say if we succeeded, but our intentions were good and if you'd like to hear it, it went live yesterday and we cant lie, its been a tough year for musician's and we would appreciate your support on this one.
Thank you Jungle Cakes & Trojan for the oppurtunity and thank you for the music Toots, may you rest in power 💚
