Volume 2 of 4. Projects such as these, be they good or bad, always elicit a certain rhetorical question. Why? Were favours called in big time? Or was it a case of overt generosity on behalf of the remixers? Maybe it’s just me. In any case Vol. 2 is less immediate and dynamic than Vol1 but it still has enough going for it to pique interest and seize the synapses. ANNA’s remix of ‘Spirit Brothers’ is Jeff Mills on the Copacabana. Francois K’s Electronic Dub of ‘Spirit Brothers is discofied Manu Dibango inspired Afro heaven, which is why the saxophones sound so good. Sterac’s pair hit the spot and show his undoubted versatility, I would have like the bpm count up a little, but hey, it’s all good. Carl Cox’s efforts are dire, formulaic edm. While Mathew Jonson really highlights the vocals in ‘Love Changed Me’ to come up with a dreamy piece of garage. On the whole, like all similar packages, no one DJ will play all of these, but its nice to have the choice.
