Scion A/V has tapped New York psych-disco trio WIN WIN for the latest installment of the ongoing remix series to be released April 26th, 2011. Here XXXchange, Devlin and Ghostdad offer "Victim", the track featuring future-soul comrade Blaqstarr from their recent full-length on Vice Records. The trio will be playing the track live in venues across North America during their 19-stop, Scion-sponsored tour with The Death Set this spring.
“Victim” is an anthemic, electronic garage conundrum, post-patriotic and awash in distorted, dismantled guitar that regularly recoils from the edge of combustion. Gigamesh shoves the grungy original onto the dance-floor and in an unexpected turn, Atlanta “flower punks” Black Lips relish the opportunity to put their lo-fi stamp on the track by dragging out a blippy garage stomper. Conversely, The Post Rikers Rapp Starrs bang on a spacious techno builder while the mayor of LA electro, Them Jeans AKA Jason Stewart, closes out the record with a remix that features big-beat and house touches.
WIN WIN encapsulate a wide array of influences, and they plan to deliver the fruits of their labor to audiences this spring, taking the idea of live electronic music a step further. The WIN WIN live-set is an amalgam of visual and auditory stimuli- while XXXchange and Devlin provide a bed of drums and synths, Ghostdad manipulates live video accordingly, immersing the audience
completely in a truly unique experience. Scion A/V will be giving tickets away to each show on Twitter, fans can follow @ScionAV for the call to action.
The WIN WIN tour and “Victim” remix EP are both examples of Scion’s groundbreaking support of independent artists which has yielded over 85 releases, 38 music videos, hundreds of free events, thousands of show sponsorships, two festivals and the Scion Music(less) Music Conference. In this new venture, Scion partners with artists by giving them the resources they need to make music, tour, and create videos and films, with the artist retaining all rights and income streams. In addition Scion provides powerful marketing and promotional support to help the artists reach their goals. In doing so, Scion absorbs many of the traditional roles of the record label while giving the artist complete creative control and ownership of all their materials and masters. "XXXchange, Devlin and Ghostdad have presented a truly unique project with the Win Win Victim remix EP. It's a fitting partnership with Scion A/V that allows us to be a part of new artist projects and visions." says Jeri Yoshizu, manager of sales promotions for Scion.
