Back in 2010, LCD Soundsystem released their critically applauded third album This Is Happening, an album that landed on the Best Of lists of countless publications and blogs across the world.
Tom Sharkett is an acclaimed Manchester, UK-based producer, engineer, remixer, songwriter and sound designer, who has released an array of music that has landed on the UK Album Charts while receiving airplay from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and KEXP. His work has been featured in publications on both side of the pond, including The Guardian, Stereogum, Loud and Quiet and others. But Sharkett may be best known for being a member of Manchester-based dance punks W.H. Lung and the touring band for Julie Byrne.
Quietly, Sharkett released an edit of This Is Happening album closer “Home,” creating a thumping, deep house-meets –Echoes-era The Rapture/early DFA Records-meets ambient dream pop take on the song — purely out of love for song and for the band. Initially sitting online unnoticed, Sharkett’s edit caught the attention of NTS Radio Breakfast Show DJ Flo Dill, who played the track twice in one show.
Eventually, the Sharkett edit caught the attention of the members of the acclaimed band, worming its way into their hearts. So, they felt there was only one thing they could do — bless it with an official release digitally on all the DSPs and on 12″ vinyl.
