Ape's Back in Town (The Reflex Revision)

Regrooved / Re-Cut / Re-Waxed / Re-Edited / Re-Constructed / Re-Produced / Re-Jigged / Re-Vibed by The Jamwax Crew
Essential Rarities: A selection of 28 killer edits from illustrious discoteers...  experts of the regroove format... built for dance floor domination.
In its finest expression, the disco edit is disinformation, a way to scramble the signal of the familiar into something uncanny, a means by which to mis-remember the past, to pull a switcheroo on memory, to suggest parallel dimensions to its dancers. 

The hard-driving grooves, the organic grit, packaged to appeal to disco funk fetishists, a limited-edition selection... dance-with-edge: avant-funk, mutant disco vibez... 
A totally unscheduled resurrection of avant-funk and disco... the inhibited and coercive treadmill rhythms, the constipated basslines, the desolate dub-space. 
... with its multiple connotations of madness, fury, and deranging euphoria: the ultimate merger of aggression and celebration, 
packed with febrile hyperspeed percussion, ominous basslines, dizzy sensations of harrowing bliss, a haunted/hunted vibe of spooked-out paranoia...
The crew known to perfect the craft of the seamless, prolonged mixes.

Owl Records has another 12" that will get your head swivelling and booty shaking. It comes from the BBC 6 Music host, TV legend turned funk and soul tastemaker Craig Charles who has put together a couple of sizzling edits.  On the flip (and the track we have the honour of premiering) is a more slow and seductive sound in 'Rok On' with its funky bass and sleazy vocals over low-slung and slo-mo beats. Add in the playful trumpets and muted string and you have a brilliantly curious and compelling cut.

West Coast vs Memphis

And now for our next trick.... we dipped into the Stax catalog for a Memphis Funk-flavored remix of one our favorite West Coast Gangster Rap tracks. A horn-heavy affair with a big drum break and bassline. The perfect soundtrack for winding down your Summer!

This song will support the Chicago West Community Music Center whose mission is "to harness the creative potential of individuals through education and to inspire artistic and cultural expression in such a way that helps foster positive relationships across neighborhood lines." We encourage you to visit their site to learn more about how the Center uses Music to inspire Chicago Youth in under-served neighborhoods.

How it will work: The 1st week of this song's release, when purchasing via Bandcamp, if you *pay more* that money will be considered your donation. If you only pay the base rate, we will contribute 50% of your purchase to CWCMC. If you'd like to give more than what this system allows or want to support the Center directly, go to www.cwcmc.org !!

Thanks for listening and for supporting,
