No strangers to remix culture, See-I’s 2015 album Knowledge Shine Bright has been remixed by some of the world’s finest producers over a wide range of styles, from house and downtempo, to glitch-hop, dub and drum’n’bass.
Today we continue our exclusive series on the Remixes of Knowledge Shine Bright with a brief Q&A and free download of DJ Sammy Senior’s remix of “Real Steel”. This song has become both a staple live for the band and is one of my personal favorites on the original album. Sammy Senior brings a cool perceptive to the table with this one.

Q&A with Sammy Senior
How/why did you pick that song to remix?
Sammy Senior: It just jumped out at me. I actually requested to Jon H if I could be a part of the remix album because I had loved the first one so much, there were only a few tracks already taken so I was stoked it was still available.
Why did you decide to go in that direction? What factor led you to do that kind of a remix?
Ha, actually when I first remixed it I did a drum and bass remix, I sent it to Jon and he didn’t reply, I got paranoid he didn’t like it and decided to remix it again in a different style as a back up, which ended up being the better remix anyway, so that’s how that happened.
Have you heard the rest of the remixes? Which ones are you feeling?
Of course! I love playing remixes from both albums. I was particularly impressed with Lack Jemmons remix of Queen of Sheeba on the same release as mine.
Thanks to See-i and Fort Knox, I was really stoked to be a part of the release. Cheers!
