“Crying Blood” ties in VV Brown, Holland, Weatherall, Death In Vegas, !!!
I’ve never heard of VV Brown, or Hannah Holland, but apparently VV Brown is a new artist, so it’s good to know I’m not living in a hole. VV describes herself as a “do wop indie from outer space”
On remix duty - Hannah Holland, resident at the infamous Trailer Trash night in Shoreditch as well as running her own night Bastard Batty Bass. Hannah recently branched out into production, and for a first go, this his remix is solid. Watch out for the launch of Hannah’s new label Batty Bass, the first release ‘Shake It Up,’ delivered by Moody Boyz (aka Tony Thorpe).
The second remix, by a long time favorite of mine, producer and DJ - Andrew Weatherall. Also produces as Two Lone Swordsmen (Warp) and Major. He’s done numerous remixes, Beth Orton, New Order, FSOL, The Orb, My Bloody Valentine, and his Fabric mix rules. His 2006 release “The Bullet Catcher’s Apprentice” - Rotters Golf Club - is a must have.

I pulled up Bullet Catcher’s Apprentice, “Feathers“, and I instantly heard influences from Death In Vegas - Hands Around My Throat, and !!! - Is This Thing On - Rub n Tug remix. Listen for yourself . . .

For the remixes that Weatherall has done, I don’t think you meant to say that Beth Orton was in Portishead, as that’s actually Beth Gibbons.
