'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
