Smiling Assassin Drop First Tracks from Endoflevelbaddie Remixed ‘Plight of the Millenial’ Album

After the success of Smiling Assassin‘s debut album Plight of The Millennial, they have teamed up with veteran DJ/Producer Endoflevelbaddie to bring you Plight of The Millennial [Remix].

Flipping the Punk genre on its head and breaking all the rules this album is exactly what it says on the tin, the full debut album remixed from start to finish. Mirroring the relentless chaos and anger that the original album has, Smiling Assassin hope to break into a new audience and turn mosh pits into rave pits and you can hear the opening two tracks from the album right here:

George Garnett (Vocals): “I was curious as to how baddie was going to go about remixing ‘Prologue’ (our intro to the album), but it perfectly foreshadows the rest of the tracks. Likewise, with ‘Plight of The Millennial’, there are some great sample choices in there and slapping fitful synth lines against them makes for a badass start to the album.

End of Level Baddie (DJ) said: “This was a fun little extra thing to mess about with, short and sweet and noisy. It was one of the last tracks I worked on and it didn’t take long, just added my signature Baddie noises and chopped stuff up to suit my tastes.”

On the subject of the new album Endoflevelbaddie) said: “When I was approached to do a remix for the band by Smiling Assassin’s drummer, Robbie, I said yes as I always do, I love remixing other people’s hard work and ideas into something new. When I sent it back to them, the feedback was incredibly positive. So I did another. And again, they loved it! So I did another. And another. And then it got to the point where I had remixed over half the album and Robbie planted the seed that it would be great to have the whole album remixed (if I had time) and so I cracked on with the final few tracks.

It’s been a real pleasure to get them all done and the feedback from the band has been really encouraging. I’ve done plenty of remixes for other people in the past but I never expected to remix a full album. I’m pretty damn chuffed with it all if I’m being honest. Thank god they’re punks and each song is only about 2mins long!”

Drummer Robbie Johnson explained “I had the idea for this after hearing some remixes Endoflevelbaddie had previously done for some artists in Hull, I hit him up seeing if it was possible to get one of our songs remixed, which turned into 2 and then 3 and before I knew it he’d done the entire album. We’re always seeking new and different opportunities to be creative and I currently don’t know of any punk bands out there with an EDM remix album… maybe there’s a reason for that? But, either way, we’re really proud of this new venture and hopefully, it opens up our music to a wider audience!
