A year has gone by since Nitin Sawhney's last album release, and he now presents the stunning re-workings of some of his most diverse and inspiring tunes. 'All Mixed Up' contains collaborations with some of the most talented remixers around including the likes of Joe Clausell, Quantic, Freeform Five, Seiji and MJ Cole.

What makes "All Mixed Up" such a strong set is it's ability to combine the spirit of Nitin Sawhney's globe-trotting sound with each of the remixer's own individual vibes. There are 8 previously unreleased mixes on this release and it kicks off with the legendary Freeform Five mix of 'Homelands' which appears on this album for the first time in its full length.

Also making appearances are M J Cole, with his classic 'Sunset' mix and KV5 with their truly inspired reworking of the Sawhney epic 'Immigrant'. Elsewhere, the ATJazz remix of 'Falling' (taken from his sixth album 'Human'), with vocals by Matt Hayles (Aqualung), reinforces how innovative and adaptable Sawhney's music can be. Quantic takes things up a gear with his tight, Afro-influenced elements on the same track.

The Bugz in the Attic crew teamed up with Rodney P to deliver their monster remix of 'Rainfall' in October of last year, and it still stands up as a vibrant slice of London beats, streets and rhymes.

This album also contains previously unreleased mixes by up-and-coming talent Aaron Jerome ('Eastern Eyes' and 'The River'), Spain's hottest collective Ojos de Brujo ('Acquired Dreams'), Seiji's version of 'Eastern Eyes' and a sublime 'Prophesy' remix by none other than Ninja Tune's Fink. The enigmatic Sawhney continues to break ground with this album, proving that he is one of the ultimate creators, innovators and pioneers.

Nitin Sawhney has always been a musical innovator. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, DJ, Song-writer and producer, he is best known for merging Indian classical music with jazz, dance and electronica - and has won a host of awards in the process. In 2000 he was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, while he also won a MOBO Award, an EMMA Award and a 'Boundary Crossing' BBC Radio 3 Music Award for 2001's album 'Prophesy'. 2004 saw him nominated for the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for his film score to Channel 4's "Second Generation".
