about three years ago a dj sent me a remix he did. i fell in love with it and i’d guess it is probably my most listened to remix (closely followed by the teenagers’ reworking of ‘the illness’ by good books since you ask). anyway, i was updating my linkedin profile the other day and up popped joel jaggar. the very man responsible for that remix. this reconnection resulted in joel sending me over some more recent work. he now goes under the de luxe moniker and you should keep an eye on his soundcloud if he’s going to be making music again.

start with the work he did for twin sister’s remix competition for ‘kimmi in a rice field’ last year. if you ask me it is a travesty that he didn’t win. the calming influence that he brings to an already beautiful track is wonderful stuff.

why not treat yourself to the track that first sparked my interest in him too – bloc party’s ‘ion square’, or ‘joel’s bright lights don’t bore me yet version’ as he like to call it.
