About This Track
Dougan frequently attempts different variations of the same track, which usually find their way onto single releases. However the Kurayamino variation of this Clubbed to Death is significantly better known than the first one due to its appearance in the film The Matrix. Therefore, this version is now known simply as Clubbed to Death, and the first one as the First Mix.
The subtitle Kurayamino variation is Japanese for darkness’s variation (暗闇（くらやみ） kurayami means darkness, and の no is the genitive suffix). It denotes Dougan’s own mix in a tragic style, as well as his stated inspirations from dark Japanese writers such as Yukio Mishima or Yasunari Kawabata.
The short strings intro and piano part are excerpts from the first movement of Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations.
The opening string figure from Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” movement of The Planets is sampled by Dougan throughout this song. The pitch of this figure is modulated down a tone, to fit with the existing harmony.
The classical part of Clubbed to Death 2 is built around Chopin’s Prelude No. 4 in E-minor (from Preludes, opus 28). The piece was played in the classic film The Amazing Mr. X (1948).
A mix of Clubbed to Death titled Peshay Mix was present on The Big Brother soundtrack, following the first season of Big Brother in the UK. This version features only minimal string, piano and synthesizer parts and light percussion with a breakbeat section in the middle of the song.
