Now, you know we like those unofficial mash ups that are created on the PCs of bedroom producers around the world, and we like it even more when those remixes make it to official release. So, much excitement at this desk regarding the news that Mylo is to release 'Doctor Pressure', a mash up that combines his track 'Drop The Pressure' with Miami Sound Machine's 'Doctor Beat'.
The mash up was the brainchild of two Brighton based producers going by the name Phil & Dog. Mylo was so impressed with it that he got his record label to check out whether they could get the licencing rights to the Miami Sound Machine track, and with that cleared set about creating his own version of 'Doctor Pressure' for proper release.
Mylo told CMU: "I first heard 'Doctor Pressure' when I was doing a gig in Brighton a few months ago and Phil & Dog came backstage to gave me it on CD. It had been quite a while since I had heard a good bootleg but I thought it was absolute genius from the first listen. I'm obviously biased but for me it's up there with the Richard X's 'Whitney vs. Kraftwerk' one or even possibly the ultra-sought-after Celine Dion "My heart will go on" vs. Sigur Ros! The serendipity started piling up after that - I had signed a deal with Sony BMG so it turned out to be easy to clear. I did my own version of the bootleg, then we found out that Hexstatic had stuck the two videos together, which (astonishingly) both had a theme of randy doctors and nurses. After that it seemed only right to give it a proper release..."
'Doctor Pressure' will be released on 15 Aug ahead of what seems like the nineteenth re-release of Mylo's surely now legendary debut album 'Destroy Rock N Roll'. The re-release will include the mash up track plus the Tom Neville remix of 'Destroy Rock & Roll' and live favourite 'Soft Rock'.
Commenting on the fact that Mylo was releasing a track based on their original idea, Phil & Dog, readers of CMU's Remix Update (the wordy version of Xfm's Remix Show), issued the following statement: "Fucking hell!!!!".
