As a follow up to Anorak’s Formula EP, originally released in November 2023, we bring you seven outstanding remixes, or "reformulations" from….
- DFZD
- Dolphin
- Scheme Boy
- Jacob
- Technoist
- MacheeeN Boi
- Anorak
… each very much flipping the original into something breathtakingly unique: Reformulated.
This release has been a long time in the making but is undeniably overshadowed by the untimely passing of Rich DFZD. John Anorak explains...
“This release is very special to me. It started with me requesting a remix from a good friend of mine Rich [DFZD]. We hadn't spoken for a few years and it was great to be back in touch. Rich was someone who took me under his wing when I first started producing in 2002/3 and taught me loads about sound design. His stuff was so inspirational back then, blowing everything else out of the water.
I was over the moon when he agreed to do the remix. He sent me a very rough version of the track a few weeks later- he had been up all night and smashed it in a 14-hour production spree! What he sent was pure fire and inspired me to put together a whole remix EP.
Unfortunately, before all the other remixes were in, Rich passed away [cancer]. I was absolutely gutted, not only had I lost a good friend I had recently reconnected with, but the remix would never see the light of day.
Months went by and all the other remixes came in [I still can't believe Dolphin’s effort- it is an absolute face melter!] but it still felt incomplete, Then by chance one of Rich's mates had gained access to his computer and uploaded a folder which included the tracks he had last been working on. I eagerly, yet with a sense of deep loss, listened to everything in the folder and to my delight, it contained a brand new version of the remix which I managed to obtain! The Remix EP was complete.”
At Grey Meta, artists get paid. As such, all monies due to Rich DFZD will go to his children.
As ever, thanks for your support. Peace, love and reformulated acid. x

A record label that blurs the boundaries of auditory and visual art. A home to experimentation and innovation in electronic music and the interpretative visual art it inspires. Conceptualised by a family of misfits looking to give expression to the inexplicable, seeking to make sense of the slippery spaces that exist, coiled between music and art, sight and sound, machine and heart.
