Attitude & Orbit Control was released on the 21st of October by Playground Music Scandinavia on the Diesel imprint.

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”.
