When it comes to releasing the freshest sounds in Soul, Dub and Reggae, you really can’t go past Sonar Kollektiv’s sub-label Best Seven, run by the infamous Daniel W. Best – as evidenced by their excellent Best Seven Selection compiles, and work with acts like Fat Freddy’s Drop, Eva Be, Chaka Domu, Kabuki, The Black Seeds and Paul St. Hilaire.
Frost & Wagner is another Best Seven name which rolls off the tongue of any reggae fan worth their salt!
An important part of the thriving Berlin reggae scene since the ‘80s, the German duo have made a name for themselves as remixers of special note, with their personal touch lent to a variety of acts across the genres and styles.
Remixes, then, is a collection of some of their very best dub-reggae remix gems from ’02 until the present day, and features tracks from Tosca, Re:Jazz, Ben Westbeech, Eva Be, Kabuki and Cleveland Watkiss, Deyampert and Clara Hill.
Frost & Wagner showcase their skills with tasty dub-influenced re-takes embracing elements of house, soul, reggae and more. Remixing CAN be a wonderful artform in the right hands, as evidenced by these little fragments of heaven… |
