It would seem to be the week (and perhaps the time of year) for labels to promote some remix product. In this case it’s an album of re-versions of Edinburgh production duo Jazz Spastiks’ The Product LP which consisted of effortlessly dope phat, jazz-influenced boom-bap hip-hop hook-ups with quality American emcee legends such as Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets fame), Apani B Fly, and Count Bass D. The remix album on the the other hand consists of different effortlessly dope phat, jazz-influenced boom-bap hip-hop hook-ups with quality American emcee legends such as Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets fame), Apani B Fly, and Count Bass D – probably because as far as I can make out it was exclusively Jazz Spastiks remixing themselves. Well – if you want a job done properly…The LP is limited to 500 pressings, 300 copies of which will be available on black vinyl and 200 on the slightly more exotic transparent blue vinyl. Heads best get their skates on!
