Cobblestone Jazz are so en fuego right now. Mathew Jonson's collaborative group had two of the most highly-tauted techno singles last year with Dump Truck and India In Me, and they are now making the rounds again with Dmt and Put The Lime In Da Coconut (all on the brilliant Wagon Repair label), as well as blowing folks away at MUTEK and elsewhere with their largely improvisational live show.
Their first remix is part of the Juno Records 10th anniversary series, responsible for reissues of classic tracks bolstered by newly commissioned mixes. On paper the combination of this one instantly got my mouth watering and it actually turns out pretty well. All the best elements of the original track are there, with the beat flattened out more 4/4 stylee and the groove extended much further, teasing out every part of the original pioneering electro track . With Cobblestone Jazz being primarily an improvisational outfit both live and in studio, it rightly ends up sounding more like a Mathew Jonson solo remix than their proper singles, especially when the "Zombie Bikers"-esque bass line uncoils itself just after the 3 minute mark.
