ELIZABETH SHEPHERD - Besides - Sampler One- Vinyl  
 
 

"With a remix roster that really brings out the limitless potential of this diamond in the ruff... her already accomplished debut lives again." Montreal Mirror

"A whole new level of genius from one of our favorite artists of the past few years -- a step past her amazing debut album, and a showcase for the sorts of exposure and circulation her music has gotten in the aftermath of its release." Dusty Groove

 


'Just Getting By' is Elizabeth Shepherd's take on the sad state of affairs that most artists have to face, as she sings about having to "wait tables just to make bread". Croatia's Eddy Meets Yannah of Compost Records, turn 'Just Getting By' out on a twisted broken beat tip but drench the track with layers of soulful keys giving it that warm, blessed out vibe.

Prolific Toronto producer Alister Johnson aka DJ Catalist takes the track 'Circles' and completely reworks the entire song into a soulful, bumpin', jazz groove. He drops a deep and funky bassline, adds a dope hip-hop beat, some complex synths and new instruments including live saxophones performed by Arthur Kerekes.

Tokyo's Daisuke Tanabe of Fluid Ounce, known for his signature electronic bleeps and dubby beats, actually samples and loops Elizabeth humming at the beginning of crowd favourite 'Georges Dilemma' and uses it as the bassline on this future-jazz remix
