The remix record is the brainchild ofSkye,who was making multiple versions of the albums original tracklisting to stay inspired during the writing ofI Love You Jennifer B.The guest features on the remix record range fromErsatz,who inspiredSkyeto make music many years ago toIan Starrwho he only connected with online a few monthsago.

Skyeexplains more aboutI<3UQTINVU,saying, Some of the remixes are almost three years old and some are under six months old. We played a run of shows withBabymorrocowhen our album came out to test them all. The main thing I was interested in whilst making this music was the sonic palette and the texture of the music. The musical material didn’t matter too much, it was just about the sound. That’s often what moves me, not necessarily the notes but the sound. However, I’m not even sure what that means and if music can really be separated like that. Maybe it’s too paradoxical. Well it’s an experiment! I’m still learning.
