Tom Vek is teasing his 20th anniversary remix album with 'C-C (You Set The Fire In Me) (Dave Glass Animals Remix)'

Tom Vek is set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of debut album 'We Have Sound' with a new remix collection featuring reworkings from Glass Animals, alt-J, Everything Everything and more.

The multi-instrumentalist has announced 'We Have Sound Remixed', a 10-track album featuring contributions from a range of artists due 2nd October. The first track to be shared is 'C-C (You Set The Fire In Me) (Dave Glass Animals Remix)', with Glass Animals' Dave Bayley delivering a reimagining of the original.

"Joe from our band would obsess over the drumming," Bayley explains. "I would obsess over the production. We had the posters in our rooms. And the vinyl. And he had the t-shirt. I didn't, and I was jealous. That album was one of several responsible for us going on to make our own music."

"I've been a big fan of Glass Animals since their debut, and how incredibly lush the production was," Vek says. "When the 20-year date was rolling round, I was thinking 'what am I going to do?' I was thinking about how to make it feel new, for me at least, and it hit me – remixes. When Dave sent it over, I almost couldn't believe it because he'd given it a 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' era Timbaland vibe, which is an album I ferociously studied, trying to make the follow-up to We Have Sound, determined to make something that sounded like 'My Love' but just couldn't. I love that he's focused on the chorus vocal line and emphasises the layered BVs. I immediately played this about 20 times, which is the sign I always look for, so grateful to Dave."

The album features additional remixes from alt-J's Gus Unger-Hamilton, Everything Everything, Porij, Is Tropical, Anna Prior, Dutch Uncles, Baths, Vivid Fever Dreams, and Coby Sey. 'We Have Sound Remixed' will arrive via StrataSonic Records on 2nd October.
