"What makes the deluxe edition of the album so special is the ability to hear the band's music through the stylistic lenses of a variety of DJs," said Mxdwn,"The original version of 'Set Your Sails' has a little bit of pep to it, hitting some uptempo strides during Edwards' perfectly-delivered vocals. FaltyDL increases the BPMs and the aggression, focusing on a particular selection that features distorted electric guitar, a welcome counterpoint to the smooth vocals. With a new producer at the helm, 'Set Your Sails' takes on an entirely new character."

Skye and Ross, speaking on the remix said, "FaltyDL has done a wonderfully glitchy feel good mix of our song Set Your Sails, dropping it into exotic new territory."

Previously releasing on the likes of Ninja Tune, Planet Mu, and his own imprint Blueberry Records, FaltyDL (real name Drew Lustman) brings stunning new life to 'Set Your Sails'. Tumultuous electronics are intertwined with hard-hitting bass lines, all brought together by Skye's atmospheric vocals.

Morcheeba is Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey. Tracing their roots to the mid '90s UK trip-hop scene, they quickly grew into an internationally renowned force on record, and in touring the globe many times over the last two decades.

On their latest album Blaze Away, the pair took a free approach to its creation. There was no template for its ten, extraordinary, future-facing songs, no self-imposed limits on style, no themes to be adhered to or rules in place to break.

Having called on various established and up-and-coming producers to reinterpret those tracks, the deluxe edition of Blaze Away shines a stunning new light on an already essential body of work.

Highlights include the deep rumbling electronics on Kelpe's remix of 'Free Of Debris'; the angular percussion and reflective harmonies present in Brecon's take on 'Mezcal Dream'; Throwing Snow's otherworldly deep-bass led version of title track 'Blaze Away' - and Djrum's dynamic re-imagination of 'Find Another Way'.

Morcheeba will also be touring over the next few months, including a prestigious date at Glastonbury Festival on June 28th. Full live dates listed below.
