Description
J Rocc has long been one of the most widely regarded re-editors on the hip-hop and crate diggin’ scenes, and has previously completed commissions for the likes of Stones Throw and Minimal Wave. Here, he tackles a track each from esteemed disco labels Salsoul and West End.
His A-side version of the much tinkered with First Choice jam “Let Know Man Put Asunder” was clearly inspired by Ron Hardy’s legendary reel-to-reel version, and expertly loops up key passages to create a relentlessly sweaty, floor-friendly groover. Flip to the B for his take on Loose Joints’ similarly renowned “Is It All Over My Face”, which seems to give greater emphasis to the original’s crazy instrumentation, rather than the over-familiar vocal.
