Remix City: Theophilus London + Jeffrey Jerusalem, Is Tropical + Moonlight Matters

Remix City
Sifting through mountains of remix trash so you don’t have to, in an attempt to find the ones that contribute to their originals. Hitting the mega dance tip today, with some funkiness and animated .gif action.

Theophilus London

Theophilus London is breathing new life into his debut album, Timez Are Weird These Days. On April 24th, Theophilus hits the dance floor. He’ll be releasing the Bing sponsored Timez Are Weird These Nights, The Remixes. His songs have been remixed by some of the best DJ’s in the game, from Brodinski and Crookers to Fred Falke and Skream.

Last week, Theophilus London offered fans the first taste of what they can expect a lot more of on Timez Are Weird These Nights, including a stream of the Jeffrey Jerusalem remix of “Lighthouse.” For the visual pleasure of the internet, accompanying the stream of the track is an animated gif. Theophilus has teamed up with his friends at Mr-Gif.com to make animated gifs for each of the remixes featured on Timez Are Weird These Nights which will live on their own website, timezareweirdthesenights.tumblr.com

They are the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, Interim Managing Editor of South Seattle Emerald, and Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission. They also previously served as the Executive Director of the interdisciplinary community hub, Northwest Film Forum, where they played a key role in making the space more welcoming and accessible for diverse audiences.

Vee has two narrative short films. Searching Skies (2017) touches on Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States; with it, they helped co-organize The Seventh Art Stand, a national film and civil rights discussion series against Islamophobia. Reckless Spirits (2022) is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy for a bleak new era, in anticipation of a feature-length project.

Vee is passionate about cultural space, the environment, and finding ways to covertly and overtly disrupt oppressive structures.
