Greyboy
- To Know You Is To Love (PPP and Red Astaire
mixes) (Ubiquity 12")
Hold Tight! The big Stevie Wonder and Syreata cover tune from
Greyboys "Soul Mosaic" album has been given some top
notch remix treatment. These 2 remixes are unavailable elsewhere,
not on the album, not on any CD. Out of Sweden Red Astaire have
been dropping delicious remix/re-edit flavor on the likes of Erykah
Badu and Lil' Kim on GAMM, here they let loose adding live keys,
bass and a shuffling Afro beat rhythm. Ubiquity act PPP give the song a thorough Detroit re-tune adding grit and
hip hop-meets-downtempo-house beats - think Herbert meets Jay
Dee. This is the 150th release on Ubiquity (not counting all the
releases on Luv N'Haight, CuBop, etc) - rightfully a Greyboy 12"
as it was his first album, released over a decade ago that helped
put us on the map. Watch for upcoming Greyboy dates in: Los Angeles,
Maine, Cleveland, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Toronto, and
San Jose, full details at: http://www.ubiquityrecords.com/events.html

Pipers mix is really cool."

”Love the PPP mixes - Detroit genius trumps yet
again”
GAMALL AWAD, RUDE MOVEMENTS (NYC)
”Excellent stuff all round but the Red Astaire mix
is the one for me. Straight up funk on wax!”
JIMPSTER (FREERANGE)
”All the remixes are excellent - A1/A2: Deep, soulful, really
sweet atmospherics & harmonies. Love it!”
FABRICE LIG (BELGIUM)
”The two remixes here do exactly what i wanted,
retain the soul while amping up the vibe. digging the PPP
love unlimited-ish bounce, the instrumental works nicely as well.
red astaire's remix has a good forward motion to it, nice mid-set/warm
up flavor. playing all versions on this single.”
