Herbert – It’s Only (DJ Koze Remix)

Today’s track is 12 years old, but I had completely forgotten about it until yesterday and assume there are plenty of people who have never heard it. If that’s you, you’re in for a treat. Thinking back to 2012 it was almost unavoidable in certain circles, but unlike many other hype tracks of yesteryear, this remains completely essential and may well be one of the best remixes ever produced, especially given its somewhat forgettable source material.

This is (Not) Beethoven – Adagietto (Matthew Herbert Mediterranean Dub)

The second joint production by pianist Sebastian Knauer and the composer Arash Safaian, This Is (Not) Beethoven is an album made up of variations on themes from Ludwig van Beethoven, aiming to modernise the work of the classical musician to mark the 250th anniversary of his birth. More recently, the project was opened up to a number of remixers, among them Matthew Herbert, who provided this epic reworking of Adagietto. Patient, haunting and completely transfixing, it’s an incredible reimagining, and goes to show you really can remix anyone and anything, as long as you do it properly.
