No, it’s not Tuesday again, but we just got our hands on something extra-special and exclusive, and we didn’t want to make you wait until next Tuesday’s Steal This Track to hear it.
Back in November of last year, we gave you a sneak peek of Snake Rattle Rattle Snake‘s debut EP, with the song “Hastily.” Since then, the group released an EP, placed #1 in the annual Denver Post Underground Music Showcase poll, signed manager Bart Dahl (who also manages Denver favorites Nathaniel Rateliff and Houses) and played high profile, high energy slots at The UMS, Red Rocks and the Mile High Music Fest.
Today, we received a startling dance-friendly remix of “Hastily,” produced by Iuengliss, a.k.a. Bocumast Records artist Tommy Metz. The talented producer retained the song’s original slithering, sinister air while adding a rump-shaking beat and just enough electronic wizardry to give the track a cold, shiny exterior that makes it all the more compelling and chilling. According to Metz, the remix will be included on a forthcoming re-release of the band’s debut, but you can steal it right now, exclusively from the Denver Post, Reverb and Steal This Track.
