Seed Recordings sent me these mixes as part of a package that will be coming out on Jonny Montana's Camio label. Oh man, wait until you hear these!!!  This is one of the most powerful and soulful tracks I have had the pleasure to listen to over the last few months, it really is exceptional. The two mixes I was sent were the Seedadian Deep Reprise and the Seedadian remix. The Deep Reprise is very, very powerful and runs for 8 minutes and 10 seconds. The reason it's so powerful is throughout it's running time, not a single beat of percussion is played and when you listen to it the hairs on the back of you head will stand up! I mixed in the version with beats into this, and extened the running time from 8.10 to around 15 minutes. You may think that's too long for a single track, but just wait until you actually hear this yourself, then you'll know what I'm talking about!  I haven't got this genuinely excited about a remix in a long time, but this one definitely butters my toast.

Boddhi Satva's "Get up" gets another batch of slammin' remixes, this time courtesy of Jersey Soul (aka Dave Lalla and Big Logan), with John Crockett providing the keys. The 'Shelter Mix' is a deep hypnotic affair using thumpin' beats and infectious spaced-out synths to create a resistless vibe, while the 'Saltfish & Bammy Mix' is a dubbed-out ragga house rework featuring phat keys. The 'Johnny Sox Tek Jazz Mix' is on a deep tech-soul-tip, while lastly the 'J Soul VS J Sox Mix' toughens the vibe for the bigger floors.

Boston based Seed Recordings have been putting out a catalogue of fine releases and these mixes of 'Get Up' are no exception.  I have chosen two mixes to review here, the Club Shelter mix and the Saltfish and Bammy mix.  The Shelter mix starts off in a real Mr. Fingers way, with distorted and filtered keys, subtle percussion and THAT analogue keyboard sound. The track bubbles up under it's own steam, before the superb flute sounding keys take the track to its finale and wraps things up for this mix.
The Saltfish and Bammy mix is one of the most innovative and original mixes I've heard in th elast five years. Think two tone meets ska and is blended with house. It may sound like a burnt dinner, but it is actually a brilliant mix of the track, and like I say, one of the most original ideas I've heard in a long while.  This mix is nothing short of genius!
