Info:
The art of the edit is a much argued topic. The skill goes far beyond, as Mark E recently stated “just adding beats at either end of the track”. Some, like E, have become synonymous for their enviable edit talents; Wilson, Harvey, Terje, Beedle are all at the top of their game when it comes to the delicate and ultimately respectful touch. Whether its reworking for the dancefloor, tweaking for your tastebuds or looking to inject a new freshness to the funk, the best edits are never forgotten.
Phil Weeks’ Robsoul Essentials offshoot has launched its Robsoul Edits series which sees friends and family selecting tracks from the catalogue and setting to work on creating their very own collection of personal edits. Volume One was in the capable hands of Around7 and last month we were treated to our second collection, from the lovely Mr. Sebo K. Completing our first trio in the series is none other than Robsoul favourite and long time family member, Chris Carrier.
Our brother goes in on some of his favourite label cuts, retouching and refreshing numbers from Gemini, Alci, No Assembly Firm, his own collaboration with Hector Moralez and a quartet of gems from label boss Phil Weeks. So much happening house it hurts!
With Volumes 4 and 5 already confirmed and in the works the Robsoul Edits series is without doubt one of the label’s finest. Credit to the Edit!
