Amplive is an incredibly busy dude. The Oakland-based DJ/ producer spent the past decade grinding with Bay Area royalty as one half of Zion I, making a hefty name for himself in the production community with behind-the-boards credits on records from Akon, Kafani, Keak Da Sneak, Goaepele and Talib to prove it. But Live has been up to some of his most genuinely impressive work in ?07. Maybe you heard? Two months ago a little band called Radiohead turned the music industry on its ear when they announced the pay-what-you-want, digital-only release of their sixth LP, In Rainbows. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Amplive decided to pick apart the most buzzed about record of the year, immersed himself in the ten tracks, dissecting every second, breaking the work of Thom Yorke and company down to its rhythmic core. The result is Rainydayz Remixes, a six-song collection of reworked tracks that each serves as its own testament to Amplive?s ability as a versatile producer with an uncanny ear for timing and texture.
