SEAN & DEV's "SPLIFFLAM" from their 2010 "ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE FUTURE" progresses into new forms with Sub Philo Music's next release "SPLIFFLAM ~ THE REMIXES." Featuring friends from all over the world, along with some choice Seattle talent; the Artists all generously flex their muscles and give us something differently recollective to think about.

First out of the gate is the Alaskan native that Seattle is now lucky enough to call their own, ASTRONOMAR. His remix starts things out on the right foot: solid, yet wobbly. It takes the sounds in a different direction entirely and that direction feels on point. Classic minded with an experimental spirit - this retake is bound to drive boogie floors deep, deep crazy.

Next up is Sub Philo's head dude THRILLS bringing it old school house style. Adding a latin-y shake to the rhythm section and pushing the ol' sounds to a brand spanking new place. Psychedelic echos and percussion that won't let anyone off easy - this track takes you somewhere you want to go again and again. Lucky enough you know right where to find it. Another keeper from the SPMG honcho.

Going across the pond to Glasgow, U.K. - we meet up with the uber-talented JACE SYNTAX and his epic acidic journey to places aural, mental, and spiritual. For awhile now Jace has been on the radar of many top DJs as he releases track after great track for labels like Mark Ambrose's Crayon, UK's Mutate, Detroit's Soiree, and many others - this remix is no exception to the pattern set. Close your eyes and take the ride because the journey is the worthy destination.

From Scotland, we move to the SE of the U.S. as South Carolina's CULTURE PROPHET puts their spin on SPLIFFLAM and boy does it got flavor. Putting all the classic sounds of the original into a gentle blender and turning it into something very special - This is electro done right. Solid and playful, with just enough soul to know they mean it for keeps. We all profit from music like this.

Fearing this might get too northern hemisphere-centric, we fly down to NULL OBJECT's neighborhood in Lilyfield, Austrailia. Here the magic wizard of live analogue gear shows us how it's done. Created and recorded entirely live - using gear most producer's only wish they could get their hands on, we find out what we have been missing if we have not yet devoted ourselves to checking out every experimental nuance this singular producer puts up for our perusal.

Finally heading back to SEAN & DEV's home in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle's KID SMPL does us some dark post-dubstep as only he can. Atmospheric and moody: he pushes the envelope to places most fear to go. Testing the boundaries of rhythm, texture and groove - he makes the track familiar and alien at the same time. As he should.

The old idiom says variety is the spice of life. If so, this EP stands as 6 stars; but don't worry, it will always remain palatable as there is something here for everyone. And for many they will find an all you can eat buffet where you will continually discover something appetizing. Eat up. It's good for you. And by the way - rumor has it the wonderful original Sean & Dev track SPLIFFLAM will be released gratis to whet your appetite of this smorgasbord of brimming groove.
