Jet Jaguar 'Four' remix #7: K*Saba

Fuck this guy.  He goes and makes all these great beats, including an EP I was even kind enough to go on about last year.  I deliberately seek out beatmakers for remixes, setting up a nice angle for this release.  He picks the most Dilla-flavoured beat from the originals.  And then turns in a completely beatless remix built entirely around layering up heaps of horn parts.

It's like he got the idea that I might be into ambient music or some bullshit.  Or like he thinks just because he did sound for a theatre production in the last International Arts Festival that he knows something about anything.

'Awry Smile' is another one I've been playing out regularly for years.  I remember listening to Slum Village's 'Players' a million times and going back to that boring final Tribe album to re-investigate the beats.  Then a couple of years later when Dilla died I posted the track online because really it was a kind of shallow rip of what I liked most about his beats.  

It's funny going back and looking at what I wrote at the time I first uploaded it because I basically said the same stuff then!  Glad my memory's not playing tricks.
