Radiohead's Thom Yorke: I Love Remix Culture

Radiohead frontman has praised the current popularity for remixes and said it it “healthy for music”.

The band are set to release their own remix album next month, 'TKOL RMX 1234567', which features remixes of songs from their latest studio album 'The King Of Limbs'.

Jamie xx, Caribou, Jacques Greene, Nathan Fake, Modeselektor, SBTRKT and Four Tet are among the producers who have remixed songs for the album.

Yorke said the band decided to release a remix album because they wanted to continue experimenting with original tracks.

“I was really curious to see how the people I was listening to so much would use what we gave them,” he said.

“I didn't just want floor fillers and all that sh*t, I just wanted to see how the songs could really branch out and mutate.”

Yorke continued: “I love that there is such a culture of remixing at the moment, all this flow of ideas. It may come out of the club scene but to me there is a lot more to it than that.

“I think it appeals to us as a band at the moment that ideas and versions are not so fixed and set in stone, it feels kind of healthy for music.”

'TKOL RMX 1234567' is released as a double CD on October 10.
