Ratatat - Mixtape Vol. 1

Ratatat Mixtape Vol. 1, released in 2004, was the second album released by the Brooklyn indie electronic rock duo Ratatat.

Ratatat Mixtape Vol. 1 was a self-released remix album of hip-hop artists including Missy Elliott, Dizzee Rascal, Raekwon and Ghostface. Guitarist Mike Stroud, in an interview with Glide Magazine, acknowledged both the marked departure from their instrumental first album Ratatat and perceived dichotomous nature of their sound by saying “Especially with remixes, we approach it a bit differently than our other music. It’s something we originally did for fun, that’s now part of what we are.” (SS)
