Musical Mood: Upbeat and happy!
Rough Genre: Jazz/Soul/Electro
In an effort to interest a new generation of music fans, the Verve record label decided to open their vaults to a host of budding remixers asking them to work their magic on some classic jazz and soul tracks. The results, in my opinion vary enourmously, but Verve have released a series of compilation albums which have been fairly successful. The tracks I have here today are brilliant renditions. First up, Diplo reworks California Soul into an atmosphere building intro track. Second, possibly one of the best remixes I've heard in a long time, Felix Da Housecat sets to work on Nina Simone track Sinnerman and comes up with a mind-blowing, danceable track. I think this is probably exactly what Verve had in mind. Finally, this Archie Shepp track kicks off straight away. Great remix from Mondo Grosso.
Marlena Shaw - California Soul (Diplo's Mad Decent mix)

Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Felix Da Housecat's Heavenly House mix)
