Delicious Vinyl All-stars
I read an article recently about musicians making bad cameos in TV shows. Boy George hooking up with the A-Team was definite highlight. The point I’m trying to make is when you try to combine different genres, it generally produces laugh-inducing results.
Rmxxology though seemed a tempting prospect on paper, letting a variety of remixer’s (Diplo, Hot Chip & Peaches) loose on a number of old skool hip-hop tracks. But then again I can just picture that studio executive saying, “Don’t worry Mr. T, Boy George is too credible to dent your street image”. Thankfully ‘Rmxxology ‘is a move that doesn’t fall flat. Don Rimini transforms Young MC’s “Bust-A-Move” into a fidget house monster while Pink Enemy even manages to make The Brand New Heavies sound current. It’s not all dancefloor fodder mind, Philippians remix of the Pharcyde’s “Runnin” is a great update of the lax classic.
