Nine of Europe’s future-jazz luminaries get to grips with Universal Funk’s debut. Instead of releasing a remix album with a dozen (often pointless) re-takes of three or four prime cuts, April have chosen each artist to remold a single track. Andreas Saag’s uses a nifty elasticized guitar, keys that hit the nail on the head and distraught vocals from Elsa to create a heart-stopping Swell Session re-take. Cai Bojsen-Moller’s remix of “Kuta” pleads for brotherly love and understanding, with heavy, swaying percussion, a gleaming synth and an intense, staring bass. A stylish remix collection to rival many original artist albums
