Download Amplive’s Rainydayz Remixes, an 8-track collection featuring remixes of Radiohead’s historic seventh album, In Rainbows. The songs are available in a zip file below and feature verses courtesy of Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, and Del the Funky Homosapien.

After a cease & desist put the breaks on Amplive’s Radiohead In Rainbows remix project, the online music community reasonably wondered if the tracks would ever see the light of day. Well, here they are.

While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publicly available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is available here.

Rainydayz Remixes is composed exclusively of source material pulled from In Rainbows, re-envisioned by Amplive and complimented by vocal work from Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, Codany Holiday, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

Chali2na? Just cause dude did it for free doesn't give any excuse to put this guy on a track. He sucks so bad its nuts that people still cosign him. And what relevance does Too $hort have to Radiohead? Seriously, it makes no sense does it? This project seems like a real lame attempt by a little known producer hoping to replicate what Danger Mouse did with the Beatles / Jay-Z thing - looking for someone to notice him and give him his big shot. But the whole project is wack on so many different levels. Radiohead should have just ignored this mess. And Pitchfork and all those types look crazy for acting like Radiohead was wrong for deading this in the first place. Who said just cause we're in this zaney, anything goes internet age that some artist has to let their work get twisted out in such a shoddy way? Just cause a cat with an MPC got high and knows Del doesn't mean he gets a worldwide platform for it.

In response to whoever wrote the negative comments regarding the Amplive remixes. First, do your research. He is in a hip hop group called Zion I, which has released multiple albums selling over 100,000 of records, touring worlwide...so to say he is little known is incorrect, maybe just to you. Secondly, its not about if Chali2na or Del did their verses for free(you dont even know that)..its the fact that they did exclusives because they believed in what Amplive was doing and they did hot ass verses. Third, why is it he has to be replicating Danger Mouse..that makes no sense. Producers have been remixing tracks for years and on top of that he didnt use the same vocals from the same artist..he got different mcs on different remixes. if you dont like the album thats cool, i think some of the songs are ok and some off the hook, but your leaving wack ass comments like you know Amplive and was with him while he was doing the project. relax. also read the official statements next time, radiohead didnt dead the project, there publishing company did..tom actually liked it, thats why it came out
