WHOOP-Szo announce their upcoming EP of remixes of their acclaimed LP Warrior Down which features alterations by Zoon, DOOMSQUAD, Ice Cream, AG47 (nêhiyawak), and more.
Warrior Down Remix EP drops on June 5, 2020 via You’ve Changed Records.
They dropped the Zoon remix of Cut Your Hair.
Making it more of a dreamy and hazy vibe to the song.
About the EP:
“Warrior Down was a record that was a long time coming. At times it felt like nobody would touch the finished album,” says Adam Sturgeon.
“‘It’s too heavy’ from the indies and ‘It’s not heavy enough’ from the metalheads.
We’ve never really played into either of those narratives and so when the pandemic hit we decided to switch gears entirely.
We had already been working and reworking a version of our song ‘Cut Your Hair’ and were craving some interaction from our space of self-quarantine after cancelling well over 50 shows.
We decided to reach out to contemporaries who also do their ‘own thing’ in the electronic world and before we knew it we had an EP’s worth of Warrior Down alterations.
Each song provides a new take on songs from Warrior Down, but also covers a wide range of electronic sub-genres in the process.”
100% of sales from the EP will be donated to LIFE*SPIN, a London, ON based charity.
The money will be directed towards their community food box program, which was launched in response to COVID-19.
Many people depend on food banks, breakfast programs, and other initiatives to feed themselves and their families, and when these suddenly closed due to COVID regulations, there was an increase in food insecurity.
So, LIFE*SPIN partnered with a couple other local organizations to deliver free food boxes, supporting fixed income families, seniors, and expectant mothers with direct access to food while supporting the livelihood of local businesses.
