Fader,
CD Mention

There’s been so much damn genre-splicing going on around here that I was literally forced, gun to my head, to record a refix special edition part II—plus I had too much fun doing the first one. Accordingly, I started hitting up my Ghetto Palms colleagues weeks ago, reeling in exclusives and pressuring them to put final mixdowns on their works in progress. Now that the results are in, the most recurrent tropes in the refix Olympics seem to be key pieces of Gyptian, Natalie Storm and Rihanna (more on her later) but Assassin and The Very Best also get it in and Busy is always available for cross-island traffic. In the process of compiling this, I think I hit every corner in the five-sided Ghetto Palms universe—ragga soca, techno rumba, Panamanian Indocrunk, UK funkment, and even the real-life Gyptian shit from Black Cairo—before I went down a Nuyorican tribal house wormhole.
