Sleaford Mods have released a brand new Orbital remix of their fan favourite track ‘I Don’t Rate You’, via Rough Trade / Remote Control Records. The song, taken from the duo’s angry yet heartfelt sixth studio album Spare Ribs, has been infused with twitchy energy and sharp beats by the electronic pioneers. It is accompanied by a new mix of the same song from Mods’ own Andrew Fearn under his independent production guise of Extnddntwrk.
With Orbital cutting their teeth on the 90s rave scene – itself an artistic and celebratory expression of freedom that the government of the day sought to crush – it was almost inevitable that the Hartnoll brothers would chime creatively with modern-day electronic agitators, Sleaford Mods.
Taken from Sleaford Mods’ hit album Spare Ribs, which was released at the start of 2021, Orbital’s transformation of ‘I Don’t Rate You’ proves to be an era-crossing focal point of solidarity and an vibrant expression of independence from the dark forces that abound.
