Talking Heads 'Once In A Lifetime (Same As It Never Was) (Liquid People Dub)' (White Label, 2001)

Classic Talking Heads re-rubbed for the discerning dancefloor.

This take on on of Talking Heads' finest moments builds on the perpetual motion of the original with heavy filtering on the vocals, a nice repetitive 'blip', a lithe deep house rhythm.

Top piece of remix business.

Karl Hector & The Malhouns 'Girma's Lament' (Now Again, 2011) (mp3)

Don't know much about Karl Hector but I heard this head-turning piece of heavy funk-hop with a spy theme edge and a melancholy Afro-Beat brass chorus in Sounds Of The Universe yesterday and I can't get enough.

Don't know if it's contemporary or a reissue but it is damn good. File alongside The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
