Hey, is it just me or is Tommie Sunshine one of those guys that everyone has heard of, yet no one really knows why they know him or where they know him from? This weekend this mysterious (or should I say infamous?) figure billed as "Brooklyn's legendary indie-rock remixer" is returning to Chicago once more for a Saturday night engagement at Crobar.
He's touring in support of a new mix Ultra Recrods release, Tommie Sunshine - Ultra.Rock Remixed which features coked-up versions of indie rock favorites from the likes of The Gossip, VHS or Beta, Peaches, Gang of Four and more. If you've always heard the name, but never heard his work, here's a little sampling of Tommie's mixing magic:

tommie's mini mix here is just a taste of what he's capable of so if the newer crowd only knows his rep, they should hopefully check this out.
He wrote about his wicked set at studio a after mstrkrft.
buncha distorted noise he called it.
i thought the switch tunes and so on simply allowed all those people who arent familiar with tommie as much to hear such raw language musically.
"if that girl isnt on ecstasy, then im bill clinton"-t.s.
he's a funny guy.

Tommie used to spin all over town ... I think that since he's moved though, the newer crowd only knows him by reputation.

The war paint record is by Poxymusic on Hussle Black (Ministry of Sound Australia). It is yet to be released, but it's on the horizon.
