We have recently learned that the final version of our remix of The Crystal Method’s Black Rainbows (we just re-edited, mixed and mastered it), is being released on their European album on Black Hole records. We’ve uploaded the new version of this remix to our players on Myspace, Facebook, and our website as well as youtube. We hope you enjoy!

When the magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked port au price last month, i had trouble looking at the news. the situation seemed so doomsday and bleak, it was the last thing i wanted to take a closer look at. While i was avoiding the news for several weeks, I started thinking about what i could do to help the situation. I talked to Mikael and we thought that if we made a video with our new single “keep faith” (our collaboration with john debo and vocalist mezo riccio) which showed the many different sides to this disaster while also reminding viewers that donations are still needed, this could be our small contribution to help the millions of people who need a little bit more than faith right now. – Dave Dresden, Dresden & Johnston
There’s been so much about Haiti through all the major media outlets that I don’t think anyone can say they haven’t been effected in some way by this tragedy. Like Dave said, the images and stories were so horrific I had a hard time processing it for the first week or so. However, sometimes when people are so dramatically afflicted without warning by a horrible disaster we the citizens of this planet have to stand and be accounted for. Helping could be as little as giving $1 to a reputable charity, or as much as going to Haiti and risking ones own life to selflessly save the lives of others. In the case of Dave and I we thought that bringing the story and information on how we can all donate a few bucks to a great cause (The American Red Cross) through music and video was the best way we could do something to help. I hope you all will please re-tweet, re-post and forward this video to everyone you know in the hopes that we can make a difference. The last thing I want to say is slightly political so please excuse me for a minute… What Reverend Pat Robertson said in a television interview about the people of Haiti making a pact with the devil in order to free themselves from the French is so shameful it’s beyond words. If there is a devil then Pat Robertson is certainly one of his minions. He is an evil man and it is all the more disturbing that he masquerades as a man of god! Thank you for you time.
