Dave Sitek launches remix project, post stems to CSS, Oh Land & more

TV On The Radio man Dave Sitek has posted a series of stems from various tracks on his Federal Prism label to Soundcloud, offering fans and budding producers the chance to rework the tracks.

With layer recordings from the likes of Kelis, Freddie Gibbs and Scarlet Johansson still to come, Sitek has even posted parts from his band’s new track, ‘Mercy’.

As Clash note, Sitek posted the following statement outlining the project:

“Somewhere along the line music became ‘content’… It’s my full intention to bring it back to music again! I believe in the power of song. Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach…love is close by…and you are not alone! With such potency, music should be treated with care. The sound, the feel, the presentation … everything! It is a medicine. It is a teacher! With Federal Prism I want to make hand-held music, undiminished by the need to make everybody in the world listen at once. The goal is to ride into the sunset, stereo blasting, and all of what’s got you worried will disappear in the rear view mirror! If you can feel what I’m saying , this music is for you.”
