  • Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve are set to release a compilation of their remix work next month. The duo, comprised of indie-electro royalty Erol Alkan and The Grid's Richard Norris, originally started their partnership a few years ago, releasing limited vinyl pressings of their edits of obscure psychedelia. Such was their acclaim, that the remix offers started to flood in, and their Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve project took on a life of its own. The duo didn't just remix tracks, though. They "re-animated" them—as the pair use their editing skills to colour the originals with their psychedelic charms. The Chemical Brothers, Franz Ferdinand, Goldfrapp, Late Of The Pier and Simian Mobile Disco are just some of the artists that Alkan and Norris have sprinkled their cosmic dust on, and the album will even include an MP3 DJ mix of all of the included tracks.
