The Remixes – Nuyorican Soul – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Nuyorican Soul’s ‘The Remixes’ is a testament to the fluid boundaries of jazz and dance music in the late 1990s. This collection sees the duo—Masters at Work’s Louie Vega and Kenny Dope—handing their genre-blurring originals to visionary producers, resulting in a kaleidoscopic reimagining of tracks that already celebrated the pulse of New York’s multicultural streets. With remixes by legendary names such as Armand Van Helden and MAW themselves, each cut transforms classic soul, Latin rhythms, and jazz-funk into infectious dancefloor explorations. The album captures a pivotal moment when jazz’s improvisational spirit collided with club culture’s relentless energy, making it essential for anyone interested in the intersection of tradition and innovation. ‘The Remixes’ is more than a collection of extended grooves—it’s proof that the Nuyorican Soul project was never about boundaries, but about forging new connections. Whether you’re digging for rare grooves, seeking dancefloor fuel, or tracing the story of how jazz found new life in the hands of electronic producers, this album is a vital piece of the puzzle. It remains a brilliant showcase of New York’s vibrant, ever-evolving musical identity.
