Spacemonkeyz burst onto the electronic music scene with a unique blend of dub and trip-hop, marking their territory with an audacious project that caught the attention of Gorillaz' Damon Albarn. This UK-based trio, consisting of Darren Galea, Richie Stevens, and Gavin Dodds, made waves with their innovative remix album, "Laika Come Home," released in July 2002. The album, a dub-infused reinterpretation of Gorillaz's self-titled debut, showcased their ability to transform alternative rock into immersive, reggae-tinged electronic landscapes. Their standout single, "Lil' Dub Chefin'," not only demonstrated their remix prowess but also enjoyed chart success, peaking at #73 on the UK Singles Chart. Through "Laika Come Home," Spacemonkeyz have etched their name in the annals of electronic music, offering a bold testament to the creative potential of genre-blending remixes.
