Praise for ACR Loco: “Probably their best LP in decades” – UNCUT   “A Certain Ratio found a powerful formula: paying heed to where they came from while keeping the door open for more all night parties in their future.” – PITCHFORK   "...a distillation of the group’s entire career, a blend of funk, electro, indie guitar post-punk, acid house, rave-on Madchester and more...a serious party album." – BROOKLYN VEGAN   A Certain Ratio continue an incredible run of releases and touring – one that has marked a dynamic new phase in their career – with details of LOCO REMEZCLADA, a collection of entirely new mixes and reworkings of tracks from across their recent catalog. The new album includes new takes on songs from 2020’s acclaimed ACR LOCO album alongside “Down and Dirty,” featuring Denise Johnson, which is taken from EPA, the first in a trio of EPs released this year. LOCO REMEZCLADA is available November 5 on digital platforms with double clear vinyl, triple sparkle vinyl, and CD formats following on November 12.   Pre-order LOCO REMEZCLADA here.   LOCO REMEZCLADA features a diverse range of artists, each bringing their own take on the band’s material. The list of remixers – which includes Dan Carey, The Orielles, LoneLady, Sink Ya Teeth, The Lounge Society, Lou Hayter, Skream, Colleen Cosmo Murphy and many more – were all chosen by the band who explain, “We took time to consider who we’d like to have involved, who we admired, who we love hanging out with, who we couldn’t wait to hear what they came up with.”   Dan Carey’s “Down & Dirty (Mr Dan Remix)” opens LOCO REMEZCLADA. The producer, songwriter, mixer, and founder of Speedy Wunderground brings his inimitable touch to one of the last tracks ACR recorded with Denise Johnson who passed away unexpectedly last year. Listen here.   Carey explains, “A long time ago when I was a teenager, I was out in Manchester and spotted a poster that said something about A Certain Ratio remixed by Norman Cook. At the time I didn't really know what a remix was, who Norman Cook was, or who/what A Certain Ratio was, but somehow I knew it was worth investigating. As a result, I discovered ACR, figured out what remixes were, and started trying do my own. I’ve loved ACR ever since, and got pretty involved in production and remixing, so it meant a lot being asked to do this. It also meant a lot to work with one of the last vocal tracks that Denise recorded.”   Elsewhere on the album, Maps remixes “Get A Grip,” The Orielles reimagine “Yo Yo Gi,” Sink Ya Teeth (who collaborated with ACR on the last studio album) take on “What’s Wrong,” Lou Hayter mixes “Friends Around Us” and LoneLady gives “Bouncy Bouncy” the 12” remix treatment. See the full tracklisting below.   After an emotional performance celebrating the life and work of Denise Johnson and a series of festival dates throughout the summer, the band embark on a headline tour across the UK and France throughout November. ACR will be joined on stage by Manchester singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Ellen Beth Abdi. In true ACR style, they have invited an artist they admire into the fold to augment and bring an extra dimension to their live performance. ACR explain, “In Ellen we recognized a fellow artist, someone creating inspiring and original music, and were made up when she agreed to join us - first in the studio and now on the stage.”   Ellen Beth Abdi goes on to say, “I love listening (and dancing) to ACR’s records so to be performing with them live is an amazing feeling. Denise was a friend as well as a massive inspiration and support to me.” LOCO REMEZCLADA Tracklisting 1. Down & Dirty (Mr Dan Remix) 2. Friends Around Us (Lou Hayter Remix) 3.
