==Background==
In an interview with ''Verbicide'' magazine,<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.verbicidemagazine.com/interview-gorillaz/|title=Interview: Gorillaz|last=Pollard|first=Nate|date=9 March 2006|magazine=Verbicide|location=New Haven, CT|publisher=Scissor Press|access-date=11 June 2025}}</ref> band members were asked if a new remix album would be produced for ''[Demon Days](/source/Demon_Days)'' as there was for ''[Gorillaz](/source/Gorillaz_(album))''. They answered that it was a possibility and that might involve the [Spacemonkeyz](/source/Spacemonkeyz) again.
