Geoff Geis remixes Habitsâ âJust a Rideâ, and talks to us about taking a ride and turning it into a journey, photographed by Dalton Blanco. The latest buzz from Habitsâ Unselves on Arrival album gets remixed by LAâs versatile and venerable Geoff Geis who premieres the redux of âThe Rideâ (Soft Sailors remix). Picking up on the key part of the songâs hook that features Dustin M Krapes reciting âIâm just along for the rideâ, the lap bar lowers as the adventure takes on a new form, shape, and destination. Decked out in a four quarter beat, the mystery of Habits original is present in the fuzzy guitar parts that decorate the hard hitting new percussion patterns. Dipping down on sudden drops, barrel rolling, and speeding along the track â âThe Rideâ continues Dustinâs vision of long, strange, transformative trips where what happens along the way results in the changes and shifts in identity and head-spaces from the comedown landing of re-entry into the real, real world. Geoff gave us the following creative insights on how the Soft Sailors remix of the track was made: "Iâm inspired by chance, and I like painting myself into corners I have to fight out of, so rather than listen to the stems I picked waveforms at random and said the rest of the song was off limits. This song is about a ride and I wanted to make it a journey. I think the repeating phrase gets more mysterious as the song goes, maybe even a little disconcerting, and I tried to highlight that with vocal harmonies and an non-resolutory key change at the end. I put four on the floor, since this shit is for the clubs, and I added guitar riffs because thatâs the exact opposite of what Habits would do. In the end, Tyler Sabbag provided additional beats and made the whole thing sound bigger with sound design wizardry that I donât understand."
