Crookers

Crookers is the musical project of Italian DJ and producer, Francesco "Phra" Barbaglia.

Crookers was originally a duo consisting of Phra and fellow producer Bot, who worked together from 2003 to 2012. When the two artists met, both were trying to branch out of their genre and explore dance music. Their first collaboration worked. Phra said, "It felt natural to team up, seeing that we had the same musical tastes... which isn't that easy here in Milan."

On October 19, 2012, it was announced that Bot had left the group to pursue a new direction and that Phra would carry on the Crookers name as a solo project.

Since then, "Phra" has produced the song "Ghetto Guetta" under the Crookers allias, the song was published on Phra's own label Ciao Recs under licence to the Be Yourself Catalog as well as OWSLA. Phra has stormed 2014 with singles being released from his forthcoming 'Sixteen Chapel' album. 'Heavy' followed 'Ghetto Guetta' as the 2nd single off the album. There were remixes from Hybrid Theory, Donovans and Sharkslayer & First Gift. Following that, Crookers then released Able To Maximize via Ciao Recs with remixes from Chuckie, franskild, Mao Ra Sun, Digi and Suck Fake. Phra then released 'Get Excited ft STS' for free via his social media. During this time, Phra asked the group Plastic Horse to put their spin on the music videos for Able To Maximize and Picture This.

Remix

A remix is a piece of media which has been altered from its original state by adding, removing, and/or changing pieces of the item. A song, piece of artwork, book, video, or photograph can all be remixes. The only characteristic of a remix is that it appropriates and changes other materials to create something new.

Most commonly, remixes are associated with music and songs. Songs are remixed for a variety of reasons:

to adapt or revise it for radio or nightclub play

to create a stereo or surround sound version of a song where none was previously available

to improve the fidelity of an older song for which the original master has been lost or degraded

to alter a song to suit a specific music genre or radio format

to use some of the same materials, allowing the song to reach a different audience

to alter a song for artistic purposes.

to provide additional versions of a song for use as bonus tracks or for a B-side, for example, in times when a CD single might carry a total of 4 tracks

to create a connection between a smaller artist and a more successful one, as was the case with Fatboy Slim's remix of "Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop

Remedy (feat. Miike Snow)

Here's to living long enough to be forgiving
For the bones I broke I had to make a living
And we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
No, we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
A living
And we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
No, we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
And we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
No, we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
Father put his foot down on my games forever
So remember [..] place I'd stay calm and clever
And we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
No we won't back down from anything in search of a remedy
