The Wrong Guy - Kingflame Sound System Remix

     

"Open the windows. Turn the dial”

This is the second release of our occasional series of Retreads - remixes of our songs by people we love. This is our first collaboration with the Kingflame Sound System.

Heavy dub beats smash at the doors of life. There are cracks in the world but there is no escape. 

Some cuts run deep. We always knew it would come to this. 

Inevitably the bassmasters, Kingflame, reached out, and when they ask, you do not step back. You lean in. You push out your chest and you accept your fate. They are human, but they do not operate at the same frequency as you, Kenneth.

So it was, Kingflame came for our newborn child, "The Wrong Guy" and took it away into the night. Seven days later they returned. With this creature. Writhing bass, slip-hit beats. Melody distilled from the walls. Walls that have heard so, so much.

So, here is. Yes, of course, the rational thing to do would be to release the original version of The Wrong Guy before the remix, but we do not live in rational times. We live where reality bends to the desires of the human mind. So here is the pre-mix. See what we did there? Pay attention, the original arrives in September.

Open the windows and turn up the dial. Let the pure joy of this song out into the summer air.

Much love to the people that have taken time to listen to our stuff and write about it.

@jpgchief said “Remixed by the Kingflame Sound System, this single is nothing short of epic, matching the grandeur of its creators. It features a heavy dub beat that plunges the listener into a state of profound contemplation…”

“9 o’clock Nasty is making a bold comeback with a daring move that seems fitting for the current times. Releasing the remix before the original version may appear unconventional, but as the Nasty say, we do not live in rational times.”

@rockeramag said “The band’s latest pre-mix instantly captivates you with its slip-hit beats, a jiggly bass, and an interesting atmosphere to which you cannot help but vibe to. You can right on spot and feel the post punk cool and chill kind of delivery paired up with this dark and detached vibe; yet, you are still interested and enjoying this hip and subtle cool feel.”

“One of the most interesting elements in this pre-mix is the use of guitar. We subtly get a reggae kind of feeling thanks to those rhythmic reggae snippets.”

@edgarallanpoets said “Kingflame’s production adds layers of complexity to the original track, creating rich texture that is chaotic and controlled”

“It’s clear from the start that this remix is something special. The beat is infectious, pulsing with a hypnotic rhythm that draws you in and doesn’t let go.”

@fvmusicblog said “Fuelled by a driving beat, charismatic vocal performances and addictive melodies”

“standout Leicester-based band”

@york_calling said “no-one has ever accused 9 o’clock Nasty of being conventional.”

“The result is a dub wonderland, and a complete departure from the raw indie rock we’re used to hearing from them.” 

@groove_africa said “The reggae essence, subtly woven into the fabric of the track, adds a bouncy, infectious rhythm that carries the song effortlessly from start to finish.”

“While Kingflame’s signature sound is evident throughout, 9 O’clock Nasty’s unique identity remains at the forefront. The result is a groundbreaking sound that defies genre conventions and creates something wholly original and memorable.”

@iggymagazine said “an intriguing mix of post-punk with a unique touch. The remix captures the essence of the original song while introducing new layers and textures that deepen its atmosphere”

“a song that not only respects its post-punk roots but also pushes the limits of the genre by experimenting with multigenre influences. The result is a nostalgic and modern remix”

@artistionline_playlist said “Kingflame Sound System … give an even more epic touch to the song that features a heavy dub rhythm

“a reggae melody that takes the listener into a surreal and imaginative dimension”

@musikepool said “s a fresh, electrifying twist on the original track that will have fans of drum and bass on the edge of their seats”

“Kingflame has …twisted it into something darker and more compelling. The melody now feels like it’s been distilled from the very walls of an underground rave—raw and saturated with emotion.”

@musicforallmag said “"The Wrong Guy" (Kingflame Sound System Remix) is well worth checking out, especially for lovers of good music who like to step out of their comfort zone. This is because the music has an experimental content and that works.”

“Because the end result is simpler than you might imagine. With a concise beat, the song has a rhythm and just the right amount of vibration.”

@thisisapolloharp said “9 ‘o’clock Nasty to have progressive ideas that are equal parts playful and chaotic. They might not be known for their subtlety but they are quite masterful when it comes to sound design.”

“The boldness and the emphasis on big sonic gestures and grand detailing stands at the helm of their charm."

@headbangersnews_br said “exuding a sincere freshness” (we do enjoy a good exude)

“Art that goes beyond music”
