Rudimental · 2010Remixed by London-born, Bristol-based producer Jesse Rose from the original single off Rudimental's second album We the Generation, featuring vocals from Anne-Marie Nicholson and Will Heard. The remix was released as part of a three-track remix package on Rudimental's Major Tom's imprint through Big Beat and Atlantic alongside reworkings from Machinedrum and Scales. The remix reframed the vocals from one of the UK's most commercially successful electronic acts — Rudimental had scored two consecutive UK number one albums and multiple chart-topping singles — for Jesse Rose's Play It Down audience, bridging the gap between Rudimental's mainstream drum-and-bass-inflected pop and the underground house circuit. Anne-Marie's career subsequently exploded into mainstream pop stardom with solo hits including "Alarm," "Ciao Adios," and "2002," making her early vocal work with Rudimental an increasingly notable part of the historical record for both acts.
