There’s no denying the impact that dance music impressarios James Murphy and James Lavell have had on modern music. But the other things these Jims have in common is Tim Goldsworthy, the unsung UK producer who cofounded Mo’ Wax with Lavell back in the ’90s, then went on to partner with Murphy on the DFA label and production team of the same name.
Goldworthy has been on his own since suddenly departing from DFA and New York City earlier this year, but that hasn’t stopped him from releasing some seriously epic remixes, including his delicious version of the DJ Hell/Bryan Ferry collaboration and this new remix of Massive Attack’s current single, “Atlas Air.”
Hang in there for the piano riff that comes in at about the seven-minute mark. Wow.

The remix will be part of a limted edition EP issued by Massive Attack to lend continuing support to the War Child charity.
Massive Attack will release their ‘Atlas Air’ EP in aid of War Child, to mark the 15 year anniversary of our iconic ‘Help’ album, and to help celebrate 15 years of War Child and music working together to help change the lives of children living in war zones around the world.
This song was originally performed during Massive Attack’s 2008 live shows. The vinyl EP will be a limited edition 12” of 1,000 numbered copies with a painting by Robert Del Naja on the cover and crafted by The Vinyl Factory.
