Joker's "Stuck in the System" Gets Twisted by Asa & Sorrow

Joker's Kapsize EP came out all the way back in 2007 when the Bristolian beatsmith was just sixteen years old. Even then, in what was the golden era of dubstep and grime, it stood out as an outrageously creative vision and an introduction to the sound he would go on to describe as purple.

Fast forward seven years and the release is getting the remix rinse it deserves, and duties for the track "Stuck in the System" were handed to fellow Bristolian upstarts Asa and Sorrow. The Inspected-affiliated duo (also both solo artists) have been on the come-up for a year or two with lush soundscapes and next level sound design, but this remix finds them taking the smoothly stomping original into headfuck territory by chopping it all up into something hectic.

The Joker himself is pretty jazzed about it: "Asa & Sorrow took a track that I thought could be made no more mental than it already was and made it sound like they dashed it in a fucking blender. They went back a few years, grabbed some inspiration from 2007 grime then went forward into 2035 and out came the remix. Smacked it!"

Asa and Sorrow approached the project with reverence: "'Stuck In The System' was a big favorite of ours, a lot of nostalgia attached to it, so we really wanted to do it justice. We wanted to maintain the progressions and general spirit of the original, so we could then twist it up with some next aesthetic, something hype."
