by
Miles Davis
Opening with a brief outtake of "Freddie Freeloader" from the Kind of Blue sessions, the Evolution of the Groove EP is an experiment, and an attempt by the Miles Davis estate to bring the late jazz innovator's music into the 21st century, melding it with the art of the remix. The executive producers on this set are Steve Berkowitz and Vince ...

Stateless
Swedish producer Andreas Saag is a lot closer to West London in the spiritual sense than the physical sense, which is apparent on his full-length debut as Stateless for Ubiquity. This follows a pair singles for Freerange -- "Falling Into" and "Another Day" -- and both are featured here in alternate versions. The former made a significant splash in ...

by
Mark de Clive-Lowe
For his second album under his own name, New Zealand-born, London-based producer/remixer Mark de Clive-Lowe chose to go free of genre restrictions, with the result that there's not one of those catchy sub-subgenre names that the listener can use to easily categorize it. The only unifying element are the gloriously kitschy '70s-style synth ...

Various Artists
Though the second Nude Dimensions volume doesn't depart too far from the first volume, neither in terms of track selection nor mixing, this mix by Mauricio Aviles is nonetheless nothing short of wonderful; a welcome addition to the series that should delight anyone who has enjoyed any of the other Nude Dimensions volumes. Much like the other ...

Hold It Down

by
4hero
If "Hold It Down" wasn't definitive enough as a prime example of West London-bred broken beat, Dego and Mark Mac commissioned the song to the likes of the Bugz in the Attic massive, Kaidi Tatham (Agent K), Osunlade, Exemen, and Teebone. The Bugz in the Attic mix intensifies the track with a quicker tempo and a more complex beat structure, turning ...

by
Beanfield
Only the third Beanfield full-length to appear during the decade after the group's debut, Seek finds only Jan Krause remaining from the former trio (although he's obviously kept in close contact with Michael Reinboth, head of the Compost label that made this release possible). While comparisons with the four-years-gone Human Patterns may be ...

Jazzanova
Throughout its entire career, Jazzanova has been largely renowned predominately for its high-quality remixes for various artists. Whenever a Jazzanova remix was presented, it was more often than not an event for downtempo fanatics rather than whoever was on the A-side. This time around, though, the tables have been turned and other artists take a ...

Play with the Changes
(2007)
more music like this
by
4hero
A couple years before OutKast's Dré and Big Boi diverged creatively while retaining their group identity, 4hero's Dego and Marc Mac took up a similar division of labor. The initial result, 2001's mostly brilliant Creating Patterns, was even more elaborately musical and past-indebted than 1998's Two Pages, despite continued protests from those who ...

Though Fluid Ounce: Unmeasured has the Ubiquity stamp on it, the label is really acting more as a distributor for the vinyl-only U.K.-based Fluid Ounce, who originally issued the material. Arranged chronologically starting from 2000, Unmeasured compiles the first ten Fluid Ounce singles releases onto one CD. Label stars Zero dB (as well as side ...

An Announcement to Answer

more music like this
by
Quantic
Will Holland, the man behind Quantic, has a way of avoiding those attributes often associated with electronica that lead to criticisms of it being a cold and detached music. Maybe it's because he often uses live instrumentation as well as samples, maybe it's because of what he chooses to explore within his work, or maybe it's just a less tangible ...

by
Trüby Trio
Any Compost act willing to title a debut album Elevator Music is either being self-deprecating or not very smart -- unless, of course, the title references an aim to lift the listener's spirits. Regardless, it's a dicey move, and since Elevator Music is an album released on Compost, there's bound to be at least a couple moments that are deserving ...

by
Trüby Trio
Any producer who remixes Trüby Trio naturally understands the challenge at hand. The Trüby threesome have themselves turned in a raft of the most righteous remixes of the post-millennium, so the expectations of any outside remixer grow as a consequence. Although the 12-track Retreated isn't completely successful, its highs reach the stratosphere ...

No Categories, Vol. 5: Electronic Music for Eclectic Minds
(2002)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
As the 100th issuance from the fashionably eclectic Ubiquity label, No Categories, Vol. 5 is a suitably celebratory record -- almost all of the cuts offered here are furtively upbeat affairs, relying on the favored strains of Latin breakbeats, house thumps, jazz flourishes, and electro twiddlings for momentum and sustenance. When the formula works ...

In honor of their ten years of making and mixing hundreds of nu-jazz tracks, Kyoto Jazz Massive's label, Compost Records, put out a two-disc album of some of the highlights of the group's decade in the business.

by
Various Artists
As you might expect, this collection of "new cover versions, remixes, and re-edits of original old-school classics, famous songs, and underground rare groove gems" is something of a mixed bag. The grooves are mostly jazzy and relaxed, as is Ubiquity's wont, but there are exceptions: Jack Costanzo's refreshingly frenetic Latin jazz take on ...

After his tenure with James Carter, many in the stuffed-shirt, ultraconservative world of "mainstream" (not commercial, just boring) neo-and-post-bop societal misanthropes known as jazz purists, had hoped pianist/composer Craig Taborn would become the next rung on the ladder to the past with his virtuosity and taste. Curses, foiled again. On Junk ...

Compost has been guilty for releasing an unhealthy amount of over-refined dance music with super-polite jazz/jazz-funk references the past several years, so it's distressing to see the label's logo pop up on this full-length from Alex Attias' Mustang alias. The "Transitions"/"Twilight" single, released on Attias' Visions label in 1999, remains one ...
