UNIQUE 3 - Black Art Remixes



OUT NOW!

FROM THE MUTATE RECORDS WEBSITE
Part two of Unique 3's 'Take This Love' is the closely related sequel to the critically acclaimed 'Take This Love', which is riding high as IDJ Breaks 'Top Tune' of the month...

The Black Art Mixes are a selection of lost or misplaced remixes found down the back of the studio sofa, stuck in car cd players or simply mistakenly overseen amongst the massive stack of demo's that sits in the Mutate HQ.

WNCL REMIX FEEDBACK
'Very fresh and hard to keep still to'
Edzy, Unique 3

'Feeling the Unique 3 Refix, looking forward to playing this out'
2562 (Tectonic / A Made Up Sound)

'West Norwood Cassette Library does it ruffest for me'
Rob, Stereo MCs

'... a wicked UK Funky mix'
DJ magazine

'Proper quirky ... sounds like Todd Terry on acid'
Blah Blah magazine

'Love the swing sampling acid remix'
Bob Kickflip, NuSkool Breaks Radio

I gather that the artwork has led to a ban at some e-tailers - how ridiculous / hilarious - but you can still get it here:
