Moon Hooch have released a remix of "Acid Mountain" by visionary British drum and bass DJ Roni Size. The original track is from the Brooklyn-based trio's three-song EP, 'Light It Up,' which was released earlier this summer both digitally and as a set of three color vinyl 7-inches, each featuring one of the EP's studio recordings on the A-side with the B-side featuring a live recording of the track. Size is a fitting choice to tackle a Moon Hooch remix being that the band is renowned for their equally ground-breaking electronic dance music sound created by two saxophonists and a drummer on acoustic instruments.
"We're psyched to collaborate with drum and bass legend Roni Size on our track 'Acid Mountain,'" says Moon Hooch's Mike Wilbur. "He did a great job at merging the sound of old school drum and bass with Moon Hooch."
After spending the summer playing festivals throughout Europe and the U.S., Moon Hooch are back stateside to kick off a 33-show U.S. tour at Mr. Small's in Pittsburgh tomorrow. The run includes several stops throughout the Midwest, including headline performances at Chop Shop in Chicago, Majestic Theatre in Madison and Old Rock House in St. Louis. From there, the band heads to the Southeast—highlighted by shows at Terminal West in Atlanta and The Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte. They'll then join Moon Taxi for four nights including Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, Electric Factory in Philadelphia and two nights at 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. At the beginning of November, Moon Hooch are back in the South for headline shows in Florida, Tennessee and West Virginia. They'll wrap 2018 with four shows through December 30 in New England, including The Sinclair in Cambridge and Higher Ground in Burlington. Tickets are on-sale now.
