Sumosonic / Four Tet (Sa-Ra Remix)

scissorkick is doing two things that we rarely do here on the site. First, it is not our policy to overtly sell product. Sure we push music on all of you almost every day but that is done firmly with the artists in mind. But we recently received a few issues of Heavy.com's excellent Sumosonic mix series. Not only was I impressed by the range of content on these expertly curated comps but I was really excited by the tone of the whole thing. Nice design, smart choices, collector's cards for the kiddies. The newest one is #40 which features tracks from a ridiculous mix-tape-like army of artists including Chok Rock, Jaga Jazzist, Hot Chip, Herbaliser and scissorkick friends 33hz. The second thing I rarely do on this site is actually praise Sa-Ra Creative Partners. I think they have been a bit overrated and I have yet to really recognize what people (read critics) think is so amazing about their sound. Plus, that name... But the newest Sumosonic has what I think may be one of Sa-Ra's best remix efforts yet taking a track from Four Tet's somewhat dissapointing new record Everything Ecstatic — "Sun Drums and Soil" — and flipping it toward some uncharted spot between electro, funk and IDM. While it may only be something for really progressive dance floors, it is nonetheless an interesting track. Enjoy! Resources
