The album was recorded in the venerable Atlantis Studios in Stockholm by master sound engineer Janne Hansson. Attitude & Orbit Control was released on the 21st of October by Playground Music Scandinavia on the Diesel imprint.

King Britt – American DJ, record producer, band leader, remix producer, composer and film music scorer from Philadelphia. Has toured with Digable Planets under the nickname ”Silkworm”, co-founder of Ovum Recordings together with Josh Wink, band leader and music director of Sylk130 collective.
King Britt’s natural talents as a remixer has resulted in a total subversion of rhythms and of the original tunes conceptions, from the works of Yoko Ono and Femi Kuti to the ones of Erykah Badu and Macy Gray. In 2002, together with other celebrities like Masters At Work and Joe Claussell, King Britt was invited by the people from legendary Jazz label Verve Records to contribute to the acclaimed compilation “Verve Remixed”.
On this project King Britt has turned to the music of Swedish singer, composer and arranger Jeanette Lindström and a track culled from her album “In The Middle Of This Riddle”.
