This week saw the release Diego & The Dissidents ‘Cosmic Dust Remix EP’ on Jack To Phono Records. The single is taken from 2010’s ‘Contaminated Waters’ album which weaved itself through various genres of music from golden era hip-hop to rock, via revered break beats, dub, and classic guitar riffs. A striking mix of psych/hip hop cut together to sound like an encyclopedia of contemporary music. 

Here on this fresh new EP for 2011 Producer Scott Hendy has managed to construct another heavy nugget from the files with “Cosmic Dust”. The track is Bass and Beat heavy, but has riffs which Hendrix would had been proud of and all round winner which should work on dance floors and radios alike. It’s accompanied by remixes from Bristol rising star DJ Parker and Jack To Phono label mates Phase 5 Stereo.

The almost classic “Contaminated Waters Part 4” is also included within the EP with the Acid Washed video by award winning film Director John Minton and HOT brand new remixes from Ben One turning out a Flying Lotus inspired mix and Tom Eno has taken the same track back to a mid 70’s rock steady number.
