Some of the choice remixes from Crackazat’s LP Rainbow Fantazia released on Local Talk and discussed with 5 Mag’s Dustin Kinney last autumn. There’s not a weak spot on here, thanks to both the quality of the source material and the quality of the remixers.
“Sundial” gets a gorgeously tuned-down gospel funk edit from Groove Assassin – the organ on here is gorgeous, and I think DJs will have a lot of fun playing with the pitch control on this. Wajeed’s remix of “Holding You Close” is a rhythmic treat, with Afro Latin percussion playing up perfectly to a tight vocal sample. The original is thrown in for good measure, and proper appreciation.
