3.5 out of 5 stars
Denver live-tronic dance music afficionados Signal Path released five albums of entirely original music between 2010 and 2011, but for their 2012 offerings, the band has put together a studio project unlike anything they’ve ever done.
MixTaEP is a collection of remixes by famous artists mashed up with Signal Path’s live instrumentation. In a press release about the EP, the band said that they took songs by their favorite current artists and “sliced and diced them into a musical collage.” They’ve re-worked tracks by everyone from Skrillex, Zola Jesus, The Roots, Active Child, Sleighbells, and Cults, among many others. While the remix, by its very nature, highlights the artists they’re tackling, MixTaEP also showcases the talent of Signal Path’s producers, and the massive ears that they posses, which allows them to so seamlessly turn these tracks into their own body of work. You never forget that the tracks were originally someone else’s, but you certainly never lose touch with what Signal Path has brought to the table to re-make those songs and have them shine in a different way. — BFJ
