New York - Addis - London: The Story of Ethio Jazz 1965-1975

Dust Down Records invites four of the scene's most dynamic producers to reinterpret the sound of our first EP from younger brother Joeginho.

This EP is a genre-trotting journey across sounds, a box of sonic Quality Street just in time for Christmas, putting the original stems in the hands of producers we admire, giving Joeginho's vocals a new sonic lease of life: from deep-end house grooves & futuristic broken beats to Latin/dancehall & late night cruisin' G-funk flavours.

The Remixers:
Alessio Collina (Trend Records, Skylax) kicks things off straight into the deep house trenches - a pumping, hypnotic UK hip-house groove built for peak time or early morning basement sessions, with Joeginho's vocals soaring over lush pads & a killer driving bassline.

Tokyo's DJ Dreamboy (Tasty Love, Dreamin' Records, Apron Records) takes you on a late-night cruise, shifting gears into West Coast cool: low-slung and synth-heavy, it’s built for driving under neon lights, windows down.

Michele Manzo (Dirt Tech Reck) on double remix duty, showcasing his incredible versatility. Rollin' brings the warmth with a Latin / dancehall flavour. Golden ventures down a broken beat / hip hop sound, with intricate rhythmics & a gritty shuffle.

Paolo Mosca (Slow Life, Permanent Vacation) under his new downtempo alias I.O.N. delivers a mind-bending dystopian trip with futuristic, shimmering digital textures, deconstructed vocals and complex sound design - and a guitar breakdown worthy of any Guy Ritchie "everyone shoots everyone" scene.

Mastered by Graeme Lynch for maximum impact and clarity across all sound systems.
