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".
