Joyride: Remixes

When Mirah makes a plan, she involves everybody. She makes a cafe in her living room, and everybody is invited. Mirah has recorded three albums of her lovely song self, always directing the writing, production and arrangements. Now she is in a year hiatus from performing, but she wanted to play again, just for fun and not so serious, plus some serious as well as fun. So Mirah made a plan: She generously offered up her songs themselves and asked for the participation of the people around her. In this hot air balloon ride of remixes, Mirah lifts off with old friends and new ones, taking off without quite knowing where the landing might be. With so many music-smart friends at the controls, Joyride: Remixes is an experiment for Mirah in not being the only one in charge. The remix chewing up and spitting out is accomplished by folks close up and far away, including Khaela Maricich (the Blow), Phil Everum (Mt. Eerie), Guy Singsworth (has remixed Madonna, Bjork and etc.), Cindy Wonderful (Scream Club), Jona Bechtolt (Yacht) and Melanie Valera (Tender Forever 0. For the vinyl loving, it fits nicely on a double album. The music is hot, sweet and teeming with rhythmic divinity. Turn it up and dance it off.
