After suffering a robbery of a lot of their gear, maybe this remix will put a smile back onto Portugal, The Man’s faces. The 4 peice band have some amazing songs on their latest EP ‘In The Mountain’ and this track ‘Sleep Forever’ has been given the downtempo, yet relentless dubstep treatment from Bassex.The sheer contrast from the late 60’s rock sound of Portugal, The Man to the bass drenched drones of Bassex leaves a void in the middle of the sound which for me forms the magic of this remix. With both Bassex and Portugal, the man both hailing from the US – let’s hope this is the first of many collaborations.
