this is the remix they did a while back that for some strange reason not
many people noticed.  it was for a artist named slowly on instinct records
and the track was called "on the loose"

listening to the sounds more closely you can tell it's almost completely
derived from that skam 12" with snackwich and mag.

the whole track is based around that vocal sample above which is a older
jimi tenor track named take me baby, im guessing it's a remix they did that
was never released, or not yet anyway...

the rest of the mystery tracks on the radiomix are still a mystery, never
been released, they sound like tracks that never made it on their albums,
because they don't really have that "autechre remix sound' it might sound
strange but all their remixes have a special feel to them as opposed to
their own original works...
