MH-032 Pedro - Fear & Resilience  Pedro self-titled debut has been met with much critical acclaim thanks to its beautiful psychedelic layering of free folk-hop and processed acoustic melody. "Fear and Resilience," the most highly regarded track on that album, has been remixed by some of the most exciting and fearless producers working today. Although the drastically different approaches include Prefuse 73's intricate click-hop, Cherrystones rock-flavored re-interpretation, Danger Mouse's Pete Rock inspired sample-thon, Home Skillet's abstract sound collage, and finally Four Tet's twenty-one minute(!) mini-album, they all capture the spirit of the Pedro sound. |

| Home Skillet Remix: This is a mental free jazz remix of one of Pedro's (James Rutledge) tracks. I know Home Skillet because Koushik, whose stuff I've released on my label (Text), is one of the members. This is a new project for them; I think they've done a remix for The Webb Brothers as well. This track is exciting and interesting because it's basically free jazz, which is something I'm really into, though it also has its roots in hip-hop. It reminds me of the bands No Neck Blues Band and Sunburned Hand of Man: they're these acts who release something like six or seven albums a year of crazy, improvised music. They're all influenced by the free jazz that came out in the late '60s and early '70s: there seems to be a rise of that again and this remix celebrates that influence. (Four Tet) - Jockey Slut |
