BETTERDAZE

"One Street Over is a mind bending blend of various genres, including funk, jungle, Middle Eastern, and others. And, while the pair borrows liberally from various traditions, they interweave the pieces with a style all their own. The standout cuts are "New Moon Mamba," which comes off like El Chicano on ecstasy, "Sons of Batra" which is reminiscent of Bill Laswell's (semi) recent work with Material, and the dub-flavored piece "The Process of Elevation," which breaks into a wicked drum and bass groove. One Street Over is the perfect option for today's dancefloor junkie, because the duo satisfies the dance fan's growing appetite for diversity."

"Better Daze are one of those so called dance acts who transcend their given genre. They introduce confidence and maturity into an arena better known for it's posturing and faddishness. Paul Scriver and Andrew Jervis, the masterminds behind the Daze, melded resourceful jazz instrumentation (even pulling out the Aboriginal didgeridoo for a couple of tracks), subtle samples, and choice guest vocals with smooth, Latin-influenced beats to make One Street Over. For Remix Project, Ubiquity's hefty roster of studio wizards (Fila Brazilia, Q-Burn's Abstract Message, Badmarsh, Swingsett and Wally, Bugs et al) take on the daunting task of giving the elegant album a makeover. The stirring continuity of the original is lost to the myriad of musical personalities vying for space, but the result is gratifying. For example, ‘Golden Brown', Better Daze's send-up to The Stranglers, sees three treatments - all three completely different, all three compelling and faithful to the song in spirit. Highlights include Swingsett and Wally's inventive eerie deconstruction of ‘Son of Batra', Q-Burns' nocturnal, uptempo adaptation of ‘Modus Operandi', Better Daze's own percolating touch up of ‘I Dreamed My Dentist Was Yusef Lateef', and Fila Brazilia's lilting, hypnotic loop of Mitch Tobias' guitar work from ‘Golden Brown'. Better Daze act oblivious to passing trends and are more concerned with where their music will be in five years than tomorrow. By drawing on such a talented pool of remixers for this effort, they have ensured their position among both the timely and the timeless."

"Absolutely brilliant!"
-GILES PETERSON, KISS FM LONDON

"Four stars! Andrew Jervis' and Paul Scriver's impressive One Street Over LP gets the complete remix treatment from a host of artists. With the wonderful ‘Golden Brown' getting a mighty three remixes from Fila Brazillia and Scribe. Blissful, ambient and sexy they are too. The following deeply dubby grooves are exquisitive with Q-Burn, Swingsett and Wally, Bugs and Thievery Corporation all turning out with their considerable skills to make a top LP. A late night trip."
-TOUCH

"Q-Burn's Abstract Message, Fila Brazillia (twice) and the excellent Thievery Corpoaration are the ones to keep your eyes on as Better Daze give their One Street Over album the remix treatment. Mention should also be made of the lesser known American remixers such as Bugs and Scribe who offer up proof that America's take on trip hop could be the wildest yet."
