You want to know the full story behind this track? I'm sure you do!

Last night I was sent a remix of Amber Run's "Pilot" with a request to premiere it on Indie Shuffle. The name of the remixer? Goldfish.

"Sure, this could work" I said, thinking that the band doing the remixing was none other than Goldfish, one of South Africa's most-successful bands. It definitely seemed a bit downtempo for their electro-swing style, but I was willing to accept that.

Then the truth came out: this wasn't the same Goldfish. Turns out that the producer now known as Carassius Gold wasn't aware that another group with the same name existed. And so when he discovered that fact, he quickly changed his name to the one you see today (the scientific name for a goldfish).

Why do we like this?

There's a great backstory to this remix that involves confusion between Carassius Gold (originally named "Goldfish") and the South African band of the same name.

But instead of going into that, I'll simply say that this is a decent remix, so I thought I'd share.

If you're keen to hear what the original sounds like, you can head this way.
