Following the announcement of their collaborative EP Neptunes, outNovember 22nd on Domino’s dance/electronic imprint Smugglers Way, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Joe Goddard have released the Goddard solo production “Rapid Fire,” which features vocals from the London-based, São Paulo-rooted artist Laima Leyton. Today they also share Smith’s remix of the track.
 
Goddard says of working with Laima, “She’s a fellow lover of modular synthesis, as well as of Kaitlyn’s work,” he explains, “so it was really lovely for her to be involved in this project in general.”
 
On her approach to her own left-of-centre remix of “Rapid Fire,” Smith says, “The song was already a club version, so I wanted to create a sonic story under the lyrics, which are so potent.”

“Rapid Fire” follows the previously released Neptunes title track, hailed as “a mind-bending, ecstatic journey" (Stereogum) and “a match made in electronic music heaven" (Exclaim).
 
Neptunes is the result of two electronic music powerhouses coming together to create new and thrilling sounds out of pure collaboration. With hard-hitting beats, intricate synth programming, and a melodic sensibility that retains a strange and alluring aura, it’s pure body-moving stuff that stimulates every neuron firing off in your brain.
 
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is a classically trained American composer, performer and producer who explores the endless possibilities of electronic instruments and the relationship between sound, shape, colour, body, movement and expression. Her music is a form of auditory interpretation, powered by curiosity and her toolkit of modular, analogue, and rare synthesizers. Smith’s collaborator, Joe Goddard, is synonymous with the electronic music world, widely known in the front ranks of British producers for creating sounds from across his panoramic musical life ranging from house, techno and disco to UK garage, R&B and electro-pop. Joe Goddard recently released his third solo album Harmonics. Buy and stream it here.
