Somewhere in space this could all be happening right now! 

Mo Wax changed my life, and definitely my ears, back in the '90s. Hearing that first HEADZ compilation, and then DJ Shadow's Endtroducing, it felt like music had evolved a notch. I think it still sounds fresh and cool af today, but sometimes you want a new skin for the old ceremony. James Lavelle created such a strong ethos for the label, it’s unique and is still embodied through UNKLE

The main reason it felt like a good time to do this is the AI tools of today give us the ability to pull apart the tracks laid down by the legends of Mo Wax. Then we can put them back together in interesting new ways, the beat from this, the bass from that, the sample from over there, etc. It's creating something not quite new, but adjacent to new, and means where tracks meet becomes full of possibilities.

That's why this should sound unlike any Mo Wax mix you've heard before. That said, The Psychonauts kinda nailed the perfect Mo Wax mix back in '98, so let's say this is an homage to that genius.
