Mixed, the remix album, will be released either January 30 or February 6 (TBC).

Mixed collects and updates the collaborations with Andy Is Not Here. All the tracks on the album are unreleased edits/cuts, including extended mixes of “Damage” and “Second”, new re-edit of “Pre-Amp”, extended club mix of “Phantom”, completely unreleased mix of album track “Alive” from Exorcism and a new song set to the backing track of Andy’s “My Army of Lovers” remix — “Love Moves”. The six-track release will only be available via iTunes.

On the same day as Mixed the new EP — “Second/Damage” will be out, featuring new mixes of both tracks, finished version of “This Will Be Our Year” and a new b-side, sampling Frank Ocean — “Shit Ain’t True”. The EP will, as always, be available as a free download from www.raygrant.com.

A lot of artists, including myself in the times of Technologic, put out Christmas songs/singles/EPs. I decided to change that tradition and put out a New Year’s Eve song this time. And so I wrote it, produced the backing track, then got a cold just in time for vocal recording. Argh! And so please forgive the slightly shaky quality — let’s pretend I got all emotional and shiz — and listen to This Will Be Our Year here.

Edit: File removed after 100 plays — final version will be available as one of the b-sides to upcoming Second/Damage EP.

My latest remix, “Bounce (Ray Grant Out Of My Life mix)” by Calvin Harris feat. Kelis is now available on Soundcloud. Enjoy! Download! Share! Press the heart icon!

The final EP, Andy Is Not Here remix 12″ is now available, together with iTunes digital booklet in PDF format. Download all formats here.

The dub and vocal mixes of Phantom are the most danceable remixes available in my humble opinion, but it is the My Army Of Lovers remix that truly steals the spotlight, inspired by Pet Shop Boys’ classic We All Feel Better In The Dark (Brothers in Rhythm After Hours Climax mix).

Enjoy the remixes — there might be some additional videolicious content available soon!

The second, 12″ single package for Phantom is available now. Download both 7″ and 12″ here for free.

The EP contains two remixes of title track, a “disco mix” by Ray himself and the super-special 70′s Porno mix by Andy Is Not Here. There are also two new b-sides. The first, Chaotic Guerrilla, is a song Ray wrote three years ago, inadvertently describing what would later become the riots in London. You could describe that track as social commentary produced by Garbage. The second, Caramel, is a cover of one of the most beautiful songs Suzanne Vega ever wrote; a song about impossible love, reproduced slightly to be more Massive Attack than Mitchell Froom.

Coming up next week: the final remix 12″ release with two dance remixes of Phantom and a remix of My Army Of Lovers.

The first single package for “Phantom” is available now. Download it here.

The 7″ release of “Phantom” contains the album mix of title track and a new b-side, cover of Army of Lovers’ “My Army of Lovers” featuring Mavin of Manhooker and Martina Mars of Technologic on additional vocals.

Coming up next week: the 12″ release, with two remixes of title track and two new b-sides.

See the “Phantom” video, directed by Pussy Galore, below.

Pussy says: “I wanted to make a video different to the previous ones Ray had done with a different director. I decided to focus mainly on Ray — he’s very visual! Seeing as the song is half-autobiographical and half-joking, I wanted to make the video an accurate visual representation of the song. I think the end result is quite hilarious.”

“Phantom” downloads will be available on this website starting coming Monday, September 19.

The third single off Exorcism, “Phantom” will be out on September 19.

The 7″ format, available on September 19, will contain two tracks: “Phantom (radio edit)” and a cover of “My Army of Lovers” by Army of Lovers, with guest vocals by Martina “Mother Universe” from Technologic and Mavin of Manhooker fame.

The 12″ format, available on September 26, will contain Phantom (Ray Grant Disco Total mix), a new song called “Chaotic Guerilla” and a third track to be confirmed.

“Chaotic Guerilla” is a song I wrote two years ago, unknowingly predicting the riots in London. It has finally been recorded now due to the fact riots reminded me of its existence. (Whoops.)

The alternate remix 12″ format, available on October 3, will contain three brand new remixes by Andy Is Not Here: Phantom (Andy’s Airplay mix), My Army of Lovers (Andy Is Not Here remix) and Phantom (Andy’s dub).

Unfortunately no actual vinyl will be released seeing as I have no record label, but all the formats will be available as downloads, that will form a complete 8-track playlist in your iTunes once downloaded FOR FREE from this website.

The video for Phantom, directed by Pussy Galore, will be available soon.

“Maybe” EP, the second single lifted off Exorcism, is out now.

The EP features two brand new b-sides. “Positive (Under my skin)” mashes up Michael Franti and Spearhead’s “Positive” with Neneh Cherry’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, continuing on the exploration of the topic of HIV/AIDS from the a-side. “Experience” is a jolly, poppy house track about crystal meth addiction, inspired by a Louis Theroux documentary. Four brand new remixes have been provided by Andy Is Not Here, Vitreous, Shurin Manbodh (who has also directed the video) and Ray himself, ranging from jumpstyle (think Scooter) through industrial (think Nine Inch Nails on a bleak day) through dance/techno electronica (think Underworld) through electro (think Ray Grant).

Download the EP for free here.

The second single off Exorcism, “Maybe” is out on June 6. The video was directed and edited by Shurin Manbodh.
