I’m excited to share something special with you, a remix of Mona Lisa Overdrive, reimagined by Reaky Reason.

Some of you may already know Reaky’s work, including a powerful reinterpretation of Navras. This track has always carried a certain weight, and in Reaky’s hands it’s been given a fresh intensity and perspective that feels both respectful and boldly new.
For Reaky, this remix is deeply personal. He’s loved Mona Lisa Overdrive ever since first encountering it during The Matrix Reloaded,a moment that clearly left a lasting imprint. That kind of connection is exactly what makes a remix powerful.
The original track itself holds a special place for me. It was the very first piece I was asked to write for The Matrix Reloaded. I remember being called out to Los Angeles in January 2003, tasked with finding a studio, which led me to an extraordinary place called The Paramour.
The Paramourin Silverlake wasn’t just a studio, it was an experience. A vast, hauntingly beautiful mansion with a history that seemed to seep through the walls. Built for Ramon Novarro, the first great Latin romantic film star,it carries within its walls the residue of longing, glamour, and something darker, less easily named. Once a gathering place for old Hollywood stars, Errol Flynn, David Niven, Humphrey Bogart, Anthony Quinn, and W.C. Fields…, it carried an atmosphere that was impossible to ignore.
There were long nights in enormous rooms, strange noises & echoes with underground passage ways filled with art and objects, the sense that the past was always close by. Bob Dylan recorded there,Fiona Apple was in one of the small apartments recording her album “Extraordinary Machine”, films had been shot there,it is alive with 4th dimensions.
That environment became the backdrop to the writing of Mona Lisa Overdrive, and I think some of that energy made its way into the music.
To hear it now, years later, transformed through someone else’s passion and imagination that’s a rare and rewarding thing.
I hope you enjoy this new version as much as I have enjoyed thundering it out to dance crowds.

Stay Strange, Stay Kind
Keep feeling for the pulse beneath the noise.

When things go wrong it can be the best thing for you !

Mona Lisa Overdrive (the Freeway Chase) was the first track for the Matrix reloaded, I started it in Brighton, I was nervous, worried they might not like what i was doing!!’

My Cubase program kept on messing up big time, i tested a number of other programs, in the end I settled on Motu’s Digital Performer, it worked great and was also the DAW Don Davis used.

Scarlet (6) was meant to fly to South Africa with with Norma and Django but her passport had ran out, so she had to stay with me, in what I thought would be a important time for writing.

By looking after Scarlet, instead of getting in my way, she calmed me down, it wasn’t all about me and the film, she played my Les Paul, with an effect on the Zoom 9030 that sounds like a sonic rubber band floating through space, it was the only space sound the Wachowski’s really liked.

All these years later it is good to look back and remember not to worry about things out of your control.

The new Remix by Reaky Reakson is so powerful, I have been playing it in my sets forover a year, many updates later Reaky provided the ultimate version

I hope you enjoy it, comes out April 17th

“It’s a bit like a car crash…”
No formula. Just people, energy, and instinct.

From South Africa to touring across America, musicians came together unexpectedly, each bringing something completely different. Then, Opera. Flamenco. Dance. Rhythm.
Worlds colliding into one sound.

You don’t plan it. You react to it. And then you see what comes out.

Also, the new remix of "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by @reaky.reakson is set for release April 17th - stay tuned!

Big thanks to the JR Band for always making shows so enjoyable, especially all the added work put into these “Inside The Matrix” Shows, which I wouldn’t have thought of if it wasn’t for Pedro @tenerifenoir coming up with the Idea.

As they worked so well we will be doing more theatre shows in the future in this format.

Big thanks to the Crew: Miles, Erik & Mauro
