Blueberry Records founder FaltyDL aka Drew Lustman comes first with a deep, skipping 2-stepping reversion of Mumma Dont Tell. Bruce coming off the back of his hugely well received debut album for Hessle Audio has a resymph of Osho in typical mind-bending austere electronic style. Auntie Flo AKA Brian dSouza flexes his world-club fusion on a shimmering remix of Salaninam. Whities producer and Tirzah/Mica Levi collaborator Coby Sey reconstructs Suns of Gold with his sampler. And London cellist, composer and Radiohead regular collaborator Oliver Coates reshapes Red Sea into a swirling post-rock noise, leading into a jazz-chamber music outro.

In total, its a refreshingly diverse and creative collection of new approaches to Leifurs source material.
