UK innovators and Ninja Tune head honchos Coldcut are celebrating their 30th anniversary, coinciding with a live A/V international tour in 2018. Their new single "Samples From Heaven" via their revamped Ahead Of Our Time imprint shows exactly why they're still as relevant today as they were back in the '80s when they were making seminal hits like "Doctorin' the House" or "People Hold On". The lush and ethereal future beta rendition that is tcprox's remix is later balanced out by Satelle's jazzy ambient crossover.
The artfully titled Ninja Tune Traktion EP finds the storied label dip into their vast archives to offer Traktor DJs exclusive stems to help convolute their sets with a range of obscure sounds and classics. For some basslines and synths to throw over drums or percussion the Bogus Order Reorder of Falty DL's "Atlantis" is an obvious choice, as can be said about the snares and hyperactive synths of the Spacelab remix to Starkey's "Blood Roses". The manner in which Seiji messed with that classic synth riff to Coldcut & Hexstatic's "Timber" ensures his remix can always be left as is, and for something more melodic and liquid funky there's the chiming and remixed sounds of DJ Food's "Dark Lady".
