Also, to celebrate the final issue, previous contributor and producer-extraordinaire Smoove has given me a complete set of his Multitrack Reworks 12” edits to give away to one lucky DIG reader!
Smoove began this project during lockdown whilst searching for multitrack drum breaks he could sample.
“I had a few MT stems but one that really jumped out at me was the Grace Jones - Slave To The Rhythm parts with its sloppy looped/ live go go drums and brilliant orchestral arrangements. Within 24 hours I had reconnected the whole song and mixed all the parts to level I was happy with. At the time all I was thinking is I would play my mix on my radio show ‘The Nothern Coal Experience’ but it had such a great response so I decided to cut a white label and put another track on flip side - Chaka Khan - Clouds.”
Thanks to being championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles, the release didn’t hang around for long, and that pretty much sets the tone for each subsequent release for the label which includes respectfully and beautifully mixed, extended reworks of classics from other artists including David Bowie, Earth, Wind & Fire, Barry White, Funkadelic, Slave, Johnny Guitar Watson, The Jones Girls, Double Exposure, Marvin Gaye, Willie Hutch and Sly and the Family Stone.
You won’t disagree, take a listen to them here.
Every pre-order of DIG Mag issue 15 will be entered into a prize draw for one person to win the complete set of Multitrack Reworks. Multiple units / orders will allow multiple entries throughout the pre-order period which is December 1st-31st 2023. Entries will close on 31st December 2023, and the winner will be announced once shipping starts in January 2024. The package will be shipped with your DIG order.
Good luck!
