[About the Release & Vibe]

🌌 Deep, late-night atmospheric trip. Better Daze’s Remix Project revisits the group’s material through a rich selection of late-90s Acid Jazz, Trip-Hop and Downtempo interpretations. The collection moves from the broken groove of “Golden Brown” and “Son Of Gatra” to the dub-heavy approach of “Stay Right Here”, the abstract electronic pulse of “Modus Operandi” and the cinematic warmth of “Heavenly Sweetness”.

The album is defined by variety without losing its relaxed character. Fila Brazillia appears twice with contrasting takes on “Golden Brown”, including an ambient version, while Thievery Corporation adds a signature downtempo touch to “Heavenly Sweetness”. The remixes from Badmarsh, Q-Burns Abstract Message, Bugs and DJ Swingsett & DJ Wally give the collection a strong connection to the experimental beat culture of the 1990s.

The Vibe: A warm and atmospheric Acid Jazz and Trip-Hop remix collection for late-night listening, downtempo playlists, lounge sessions and selectors who enjoy organic grooves with electronic detail.

[HUMAN PERSPECTIVE / МОИ МЫСЛИ]

RU (Мои мысли): Это очень приятный и атмосферный релиз из эпохи, когда Acid Jazz и Trip-Hop умели звучать одновременно живо и экспериментально. Самыми сильными для меня стали “Stay Right Here”, “Modus Operandi” и “Heavenly Sweetness” — у них хороший баланс между битом, пространством и мелодией. А две версии “Golden Brown” от Fila Brazillia позволяют выбрать между более клубным грувом и спокойным ambient-настроением.

EN (DJ Review): Remix Project is a warm late-90s collection that blends Acid Jazz, Trip-Hop and Downtempo with detailed electronic production. “Stay Right Here”, “Modus Operandi” and “Heavenly Sweetness” offer the strongest balance of groove, atmosphere and melodic depth, while the two Fila Brazillia versions of “Golden Brown” provide useful contrast. The album works particularly well for late-night listening, lounge programming and relaxed downtempo sets.
