Most of the other remixes they have made for other people over the years that they did not include on the really good recent remix album with the white sleeve, some of these don’t sound as good as the other albums selection, but some are better, many of these are really hard to find and officially unreleased, and a few are not so difficult to track down now, we really love them all and think you will too, some they did for money and some they did for free or swaps, but always at their studio in Ghent.

Most of the remixes we’ve made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn’t think sounded good enough or just didn’t fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or just simply because they haven’t been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent.
