Too Cool (The EQ Remix)

   

"He's the low fat Jesus, the Indie King.”

This is our November 2024 single release, a psychotic twisted dance ballad.

In the beginning there was bass. Then some drums came along. It was good.

Do you remember Too Cool? Well, it’s back baby! 

Remixed, re-imagined and rebuilt by Mark Yorath (EQ) working with Phil Haywood and DJ Mastersafe. The three wise humans. Savants of the lowest frequencies, able to function at the dizzy pace of 175 bpm. Wizards from the Drum & Bass world breaking our bones and fusing them into grotesque new shapes.

At first we were afraid. We were petrified Thinking our poor song was broken, cast aside. And after spending nights thinking it would turn out wrong, we grew strong. We heard the bass and knew we’d get along.

Working with cool people, artists with knowledge and ideas we couldn’t even begin to comprehend: that excites us.

Mark Wise took us into a strange heartbeat-driven Techno world. Preyswitch dragged us through the icy sonic waste. Kingflame shone sunlight and joy onto our strange little tune. Now EQ has left us punctured and bruised on the dance floor and the beat rumbles on and on. We twitch. We mewl. We weep with joy.

So, ride the insanity. Roll back the carpet and take off your shoes. Feel the floor as you dance like everybody is watching and you just do not care.

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

@jpgchief said “Fast, exciting, and mind-bending, the three elements used to create such a powerful beat that no-one will ever resist dancing to. It’s chaotic, exhilarating, pitch-bending… awe inducing.”

“Better to get ready now, so grab your dancing shoes and maybe a defibrillator.”

@KIMU said “invites us to feel the beat deep in our bones, to lose ourselves in the madness of the remix while still retaining the message of the original. It’s cerebral, yes, but it’s also a visceral experience that pulls us into its thrall.”

“Mark Yorath’s vision for the track takes us on a journey, balancing a subtle blend of chaos and order, like a dance between the brain and body, pulling us into its rhythms while our mind tries to catch up. The result is a sonic landscape that feels both alien and welcoming, frenetic but strangely cohesive.”

@edgarallanpoets said “the remix morphs and twists into an addictive blend of chaotic yet controlled energy thanks to creative mind of Mark Yorath (EQ)

“Masters of collaboration, finding the right partners to transform their sound yet keep the core intact.”

@fvmusicblog said “It is a must-hear release complete with charismatic performances, exciting beats and textured production”

“a single that shows a fresh side to 9 o’clock Nasty and we can not wait to hear more!”

@york_calling said “The beats hit hard during an old school intro before the familiar 9 o’clock Nasty storytelling comes in.”

 “It’s a track that’s impossible to not bounce along to. Just remember to get your glow sticks out.” 

@musicforallmag said “grows in euphoria, synthesizing and refining the lines of mental control”

“Reimagined and reshaped by Mark Yorath (@EQmixes) in collaboration with Phil Haywood and DJ Mastersafe, 9 o'clock Nasty, the sound settles into a breakneck 175 bpm tempo that expands our rhythmic understanding of musical color and perception.” 

@roadiemusicmag said “Bubbles and disconnected voices follow the path of freedom towards the relaxed and uncompromised”

“Too Cool, a cover embedded in a massive drum n' bass structure of an extremely danceable character.”

@musicaenpalabras_ said “EQ's work is outstanding, taking the subject to a higher level and offering something much more experimental without losing the essence.”

“It is a mix that reflects the spirit of the band: daring, bold, but always aware of their own identity.”

@sinusoidal.music said “Gone is the catchy rock vibe of the original, this new version dives headfirst into techno and drum & bass territory”

“The sharp production amplifies the track’s energy, and those layered beats, wow, they hit and push you into the dance floor.” 

@rockeramag said “this remix for ‘Too Cool’ is not only sonically fitting, it is also fun, engaging, and full to the brim with exciting idea”

“The EQ remix for ‘Too Cool’ is something extraordinarily different from the real thing, yet it is equally gripping and entertaining. A terrifically well-made remix. “

@extravafrench said “Where the original Too Cool already shone, Mark Yorath plunged it into a technoid bath, reshaping it into a raw and pulsating version. “

“this EQ version redefines the very essence of the title. Every note, every drop, every calculated silence makes your whole being vibrate.”

@senocular_media said “Pitched-up vocals from the original track infuse the remix with a punky angst that supercharges the song.”

“an intoxicating EDM banger and the perfect addition to any electronic playlist.”

@littlechiefmusic said “an auditory delight, this remix takes the original track to wild new heights, blending throbbing basslines and pulse-racing beats that’ll leave you mesmerized”

“Whether you are dancing alone or leading the crowd, this song is all about raw and unadulterated fun.” 

@indieoclock said “psychedelic traits in the transitions and the excitement that makes us get in the mood and then the track runs in our veins and electrifies us.”

“Music breaks barriers, bringing punk rock to this more electronic style.” 

@thisisapolloharp said “chaotic funk style, brimming with unconventional glamor, new ideas,”

“Industrial stylings like aggressive avant garde fusions, electronic noise samples, and distorted background vocals. That quality of shock that is usually associated with the genre, is nicely meshed in with the rest of the bizzare-aligned elements”

@lacavernamx said “a visceral experience for the dance floor. From oscillating synthesizers to hypnotic rhythmic progressions”

"plays with contrasts that range from the intensity of the bass to a unique sound design.”
