An innovative remix where acid jazz and hip hop intersect.
Detroit's J Dilla reimagines this acid jazz classic, a track that symbolizes the late '90s, fusing the groove of live performance with his unique beat.
J Dilla has used beat science to reconstruct the original Brand New Heavies track, which was based around funky live performance. The unique groove, created by the subtle fluctuations of the drums and the timing of the snare, shows a pioneering sensibility that is also reminiscent of later neo-soul and lo-fi hip-hop. While retaining the soulfulness of the original bass and vocals, layering electronic processing elevates it to a deep sound suitable for both club and casual listening. This is an essential remix that symbolizes the club culture of the late '90s.
