Diamanda Galas vs Digitalism - news

In the beginning of 2008 I made a mashup with a version of  I Put A Spell On You as sung by  Diamanda Galas and the electrosong  Idealistic by Digitalism.
To my surprise I got contacted recently by her labelmanagement, telling me that they liked it and if they could use it as a free download on her website. Needless to say that I was thrilled by this.

Many people are not familiar with her work but if you are open minded about music and not afraid where it can take you it is absolutely worthwhile checking it out. Don't expect a Disney or a bubblegum experience though.
Here's a link to her website and to a wiki about her.

My mashup is still to be found here on divshare

I Put A Spell On Your Ideals - Diamanda Galas vs Digitalism

When I was working on a Halloween track some months ago I was rediscovering Diamanda Galas. For those who do not know her, she has a voice that penetrates your spine and is definitely not your average top 40 singer. For that Halloween work I had used a small bit of her version of I Put A Spell On You. To use the whole track I needed something that sounded a bit dirty and nasty and I think this Digitalism track complements her vocals.
