Bjangin' Bjeats

It's been a long time - too long - since Björk featured here, let alone with a Dubhed selection.

I've stuck with remixes, spanning the first rush of albums from Debut (1993) to Medúlla (2004). Rather than my 'go to' picks by Andrew Weatherall/Sabres Of Paradise, Fluke, Justin Robertson, Howie B. and Underworld/Darren Emerson, I've gone for some deeper cuts, tucked oway on 12" B-sides, CD singles, promos and a stray bootleg.

Whether uptempo or esoteric, what they all have in common is Björk's incredible voice and infectious drive to push the boundaries of what popular music should sound like.

If my ICT wasn't so laggy today, I'd probably have a lot more to say on the subject, but instead I'll let the next three quarters of an hour's music tell you the story.

1) All Is Full Of Love (Plaid Mix By Andy Turner & Ed Handley) (1999)
2) Big Time Sensualty (Big Time Club Mix By Dom T. & Marius De Vries) (1993)
3) Human Behaviour (Deep Behaviour) (Remix By Dimitri From Paris) (1994)
4) All Neon Like (MaDSoul Remix) (2007)
5) Hunter (Skothùs Mix By Alfred More & Biggi Veira) (1998)
6) Who Is It (Vitalic Mix By Pascal Arbez-Nicolas) (2005)
7) Isobel (Siggtriplet Blunt Mix By Siggi Baldursson & Die Warzau) (1995)
8) Mouth's Cradle (Cortejo Affro Ilé Aiyé Mix) (2004)
