South Beach Recycling - Runnin' EP (2015)

Given the lack of concrete information online about the identity of the South Beach Recycling edits crew, we'll have to refer to them as 'mystery editors'. Their publicity-shy approach may have something to do with the well-known nature of some of their source material. Opener "Light Sabre", for example, delivers a tough, floor-friendly rework of a hands-in-the-air Paradise Garage disco fave from Gayle Adams, while "He's Alright" offers a delightfully dubbed-out, largely instrumental interpretation of the Staple Singers well-loved cover of Talking Heads's "Slippery People". Ironically, it's the edits of slightly more obscure jams that hit home hardest, with the carnival percussion, thrillingly loose drums and horn-totin' madness of the near 11-minute "Love Anybody" standing out.
