MC Thom Yorke? Not quite, but Radiohead are commissioning remixes for either an LP or EP due out next year, according to a band spokesperson. The group will get the hip-hop treatment by producer Madlib, the Los Angeles beat conductor who just released a Blue Note jazz remix album, Shades of Blue. Madlib was asked to work on the project by the band personally but had never heard Radiohead’s music before. After a crash course, he chose the song “Sit Down. Stand Up” from Hail to the Thief. In addition to the Madlib remix, electronic producer Four Tet has taken on “Scatterbrain” for the project. [from mtv, thanks will]
