Here, the recipe seems to involve sprinkles of lightly descending phaseshift and shining loops of harp glissando.
Its fascinating hybrid form is a precursor to the past-present re-edits time warp that gets fully inaugurated once a loud 808 thump suddenly materializes beneath the deep bayou groove of Elvis Presley's "Crawfish." Lyrics-wise, the image of procuring such a creature from its muddy shelter and then preparing it for dinner doesn't seem terribly different from the process of digging up a bunch of lost sonic delights and dicing them up for today's palettes. Not a paw has been laid on the haunting, far-forgotten folk-funk tune "Glastonbury." It opens with an incantatory druid melody that suddenly sprouts a deeply funky drum backing, a brazen genre-bend that sounds like James Brown doing "The Wicker Man." If the track didn't have the word "reissue" stamped on it, you'd be forgiven for thinking it a mash-up. While Pilooski and the dirty crew are adept at wielding the edit knife, the opening track is solid evidence that they also know when to leave well enough alone. Simply let this thing roll from start to finish, as it represents a range of people-pleasers that don't resort to the lowest common denominator-never a mean feat. Should this comp make its way into your hands, consider yourself well-armed: The next time you play host, you won't have to show off with a cultivated playlist. Unlike many re-editors, though, the dirty team doesn't limit itself to re-cutting gems from the fertile underground of dusty disco, and the breadth of material on Dirty Edits 2 shows just how wide they're capable of casting their net. This second edits comp from Paris' dirty crew affirms that for Pilooski and friends, everything old is still new again.
