On a recent Fabriclive mix posted to SoundCloud, British DJ Rich Reason included a newly unearthed James Blake remix of the Gorillaz classic "Feel Good Inc.," released under the name Harmonimix. Though the remix is just now seeing the light of day, Fact reports that the track is "from back in the day," at least according to Reason.
Though the original "Feel Good Inc." definitely has a danceable party vibe to it — as dark and weird as it may be — Blake's remix is much more abstract and harder to dance to, and even strips the song of its signature bass line, which may lead some to ask to the question, "Then why the hell should I even bother listening to this?"

In other James Blake news, the 26-year-old musician recently revealed that he is "about 70 percent done" with his next album, which would be his third overall and his first since 2013's Mercury Prize-winner Homegrown. In the same interview, he also revealed that he may be collaborating with Kanye West on the album.
"I know there's a specific song I would like him to be on," Blake said, "and if he can do that by the time my record comes out, that would be fantastic."
This Sunday, Nov. 30, Blake will be setting out on a brief North American tour. It will kick off in Toronto and finish up in Los Angeles Dec. 9. You can check out the complete schedule here.
