British producer Mickey Moonlight has recently released his debut full-length album The Time Axis Manipulation Corporation, which features the synth-heavy "Close to Everything," which Moonlight premiered on an earlier EP.

While his album has garnered support from DJs all over the world, it was important to Mickey Moonlight that the release was accessible enough to play at home. "'Close to Everything' is one of two songs on the album featuring the amazing George Lewis, Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow. This is the closest to the dancefloor that the album ventures. It was important to me that the songs were for home listening, not clubs," he says.

Random Notes

"Close to Everything" got its vibe from the guest star. "I love George's soulful and impassioned vocals. To me the song could be about non-local correlation and the quantum interconnectivity of all matter throughout all time-space," Mickey says.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
