Zero dB - One Offs, Remixes and B Sides
(2xCD) Tru Toughts TRUCD209, 2009-02-22
With their exhilarating and influential 2006 album
Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines (
Ninja Tune) sparking the kind of universal critical love-in that most producers can only dream of, and still sounding as fresh today as ever, pioneering underground duo
Zero dB have now brought together their
One Offs, Remixes and B Sides for release on
Tru Thoughts in February 2010. As if the mere prospect of a new release by
Zero dB weren’t enough to get tongues wagging and feet dancing, this 2 CD, 23 track monster boasts the best of a truly humungous catalogue of remixes courtesy of luminaries including
Moonstarr,
Aaron Jerome and
Seiji among others. It also heralds a first and eagerly-awaited CD release for a handful of highly sought-after cuts - not least
Hextatic's
Distorted Minds (
Zero dB mix), the
Dave Da Gato Mix of
Seven By Seven by
Inverse Cinematics and the almighty
Zero dB classic,
The Snare - that were previously only available on limited vinyl and all snapped up by eagle-eared fans way back when. And, in addition to the big names and rarities on this latest addition to
Tru Thoughts' esteemed
One Offs… artist compilation series, there's also completely new and exclusive material including the immense
Dave Da Gato's F_ck-Up The Festivals Bounce version of
Universe by
Alice Russell, bringing the soul diva/national treasure’s song to the heady, neck-snapping heights of euphoric club nastiness.
One Offs, Remixes and B Sides is not only an essential listen for existing fans of
Zero dB's unique concoction of Latin heat, jazz colour, startling beats and pure bassline filth, but for anyone who has been remotely moved by dance music in the last half decade.
