The Minimal Wave Tapes: J Rocc Edits Vol 1 vinyl

We were wondering when J Rocc would put his nimble fingers all over what was this year's most compelling reissue compilations. The Stones Throw associate does so in style, breaking down Antonym's "Cinnamon Air" into a deranged, breakbeat-filtered hip-hop excursion. His Work on that "Dirty" track by Hard Corps is also inspirational, resuscitating those italo lyrics more than ever before, but the "Flying Turns" remix is simply brilliant, where Rocc transforms it into a very modern and aware house beatdown. Das Ding is also given a retouch on their "HTSA", re-inventing those snares and working closely on its previously more muffled arrangement. J Rocc on top as always!
