Solid collection of some of the best remixes submitted from Bagpak’s Kahuun Drunken Sailor Jazz remix contest. Italy’s Suonho delivers a massive 4-on-the-floor mix drenched in a slab of jazz-phat-nastiness. Also hailing from Italy, Henkjazzy and Mr Tilt comes on strong flippin the original into suave jazz-fusion number full of organic elements. Poland’s Ortalio then takes the original deep into nu jazz territory keepin the vibe smokey, dark and hazy. Additional remixes come from Brooklyn’s Izzy Azwell, UK’s Homegroove Project and Paris-based Monsieur Greg – all stellar mixes that give Kahuun’s original a unique twist.

Ishfaq has been blessing things up with great remixes (his broken version of D’Angelo’s Left and Right is a classic) for more than a minute. Grab the ‘Fast Lane’ remix plus more at ishfaq.co.uk
Born the only son of a Baptist preacher and registered nurse in St. Louis, Aaron Michael Frison, known to the public as Coultrain, was exposed to a multitude of musical genres starting with gospel, then from Blues to Jazz. He credits his parents, and their upbringing as major attributes to his gift, as well as his stern integrity. The stories Coultrain’s father preached would eventually find their way into his own growth and style. The tone his mother carried in her angelic voice would characterize his tone, hence the heavy gospel influence in Coultrain’s vocal texture as well as the message.

Volume 5 of Melting Pot Music’s producer series The Hi-Hat Club introduces two of Amsterdam’s most promising new beatmakers: Full Crate and FS Green. They deliver a set of forward-thinking and progressive beats. Eggs And Pancakes takes the best of both worlds – well chopped samples and so-called electronics – to express their vision of an instrumental hip-hop album in the year 2010. All I can say is…lekker!!!
