What can be said about this beauty. Finally this little gem sees the light of day. Drift makes its way to the masses and as it’s been years in the making–trust me on that one. Its various remixes have been featured in several sets including DJ So’s Soul Glider in 2005, Mo Shic’s February BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2003, Madoka’s own Sounds For The Saturation Generation promo mix and was heavily supported by James Holden and Steve Gerrard before release. Many thanks to Peter at Deep Records for Bari Koral’s original vocals and to Roel for his ridiculously amazing remix work–still his best work to date if you ask me.
Until now, it was relatively unknown that Drift was initially signed to a few other labels in the past several years, beginning with upstart label Ready Mix Records in 2003, but the publishing rights returned to Madoka after negotiations collapsed each time. During that period, Ready Mix Records commissioned a mix from Canadian producer Tone Depth and his interpretation was later edited again by Madoka himself, but neither of these versions have been officially released.
Madoka’s edit of Tone Depth’s remix, however, did appear on Anna Maria X’s Believer 2 in 2004 but was only distributed in Greece. Just wanted to confirm a bit of Drift folklore and clear up any confusion for the true heads and collectors out there.
