Miles and miles
One of my favourite vinyl purchases this year has been a 12 by re-edit master Shoes, who chopped and diced up some Miles Davis into several musical flavours, including a dub version of So What (audio snippets here). Dub-Miles is some sweet tasting ish, I'm telling ya. Horrifies the jazz purists too, which is always a good thing - screw the purists. On the same tip...

"Apple Juice Kid is foremost a drummer from Chapel Hill NC however he’s shining as a producer and versatility is the best way to describe him from crunk, R&B, reggae dancehall and he even drops some downtempo, electronic jazz in there, he’s one of those producers we should pay attention to."
Get Miles Remixed by the Apple Juice Kid over here.

Shout to Charizma on BaseFM for dropping it.

omg, its amazing,

Panthalassa, it is made up from original masters from miles electric period (69-74), which is insanely good anyway, dubs it out, layers it, a sprinkle of laswell magic....
