After the top-notch jazz fusion acrobatics of his long-player, emergent producer Royal Dust gets the remix treatment from two top shelf practitioners, and the results are as essential as label, artist or listener could hope for. First up is Ricardo Villalobos, who takes a more full-bodied approach compared to his usual stripped down ways, twisting “Royal” into a psychedelic whirl of dubwise, krautrock-inflected instrumentation that meanders through 8 minutes of strung out perfection. Paul Frick meanwhile drops some rolling, broken beat science on “Truco”, letting jazzed-out synths curl around a limber set of drums that belie his learned musicality. In addition to these fine versions, there’s also a sequence of parts for each original track included for would-be remixers to lift from the wax.
