In many respects Throbbing Gristle as artists, self-promoters, marketeers, label owners and music makers broke the mould on every level and decentralised the whole music making process into their own hands. It therefore came as no surprise when some of the most notable figures in electronic dance music jumped at the chance to re-work some classic TG catalogue. The record was originally released on Mute’s sub-label NovaMute in 2004, and saw reworks from DJ and producer Carl Craig, electronic duo Two Lone Swordsmen (Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood), Basement Jaxx’s Simon Ratcliffe, electronic post-industrial duo Motor (Mr Nô and Bryan Black), as well as TG’s very own Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. Formed in 1975 from the ashes of performance art troupe/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle consisted of Genesis P-Orridge (1950 – 2020), Cosey Fanni Tutti, Chris Carter and Peter Christopherson (1955 – 2010). During their most active period of 1975 – 1981, TG fully delivered on punk’s failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging systems of control, releasing seminal records such as The Second Annual Report Of Throbbing Gristle (1977), D.O.A The Third And Final Report Of Throbbing Gristle (1978), 20 Jazz Funk Greats (1979) and more. After years of pursuing different projects, the band reformed in 2004, performing several concerts and releasing projects such as TG Now (2004), Mutant TG and Part Two: The Endless Not (2007) before disbanding for good in 2010." ################ "The legendary 2004 set of TG remixes by Carl Craig, Carter Tutti, Motor, Basement Jaxx’s Smon Ratcliffe, and Two Lone Swordsmen receives its 20th anniversary flowers. ‘Mutant’ first emerged during a dry period for the long-defunct industrial musick pioneers to provide contemporary context for their late ’70s/early ‘80s prototypes of textured, rhythm-driven electronics. Issued in tandem with the ‘TG Now’ 12” - their first release of original material ft. the original line-up, since 1982 - the ‘Mutant’ session would skool those who came thru with the early ‘00s whole “electroclash” wave to that sound’s origins, whilst also reframing their work for modern ‘floors for those old enough to join the dots. Fair to say that Carl Craig’s re-version of ‘Hot on the Heels of Love’ is now a stone cold classic, trimming the original to a sleek Detroit aerodynamism but still sizzling with the grit of Chris Carter’s custom-built kit in the mix, and of course Cosey’s slinky whispers and its chiming hooks, while his take on ’Still Walking’ is resplendent in its cold metallic churn. Decades later, Carter Tutti’s own mix of the creepy as fuck ‘Hamburger Lady’ is marginally less mucky, more oiled up for the darkroom, and still makes us need a wash after rinsing, next to the fetish club canter of their spliced remix for ‘HotHeelsUnited’ Perhaps one of the set’s biggest surprises was the inclusion of Simo nRatcliffe, at a late peak of his Basement Jaxx prowess, dialling up the sexiness of ‘Hot on the Heels of Love’ with hot flushes of MDMA-trigger string pads, whereas french EBM type Motor signalled the sound’s relevance to early-mid ‘00s electro in his spark-spitting remix of ‘Persuasion’, and Andy Weatherall & Keith Tenniswood’s TLS remix of ‘United’ gives it some Rotters Golf Club warpage."
