From LA's creative hotbed of future soul comes a dope introduction to the work of GB aka Gifted & Blessed. For the best part of the last decade GB has released beats on Ninja Tune and Kindred Spirits (besides many others) while also lending his touch to the recent 'Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka' album and working with Sa-Ra Creative Partners. This is a wicked 6-track set of re-edits and reinterpretations showing off the breadth and depth of his foundational skills. He turns Little Dragon's 'After The Rain' into a killer R'n'B slow jam with rolling bass arpeggiations, whilst also reinterpreting Fly Lo's 'Riot' as a supreme electroid excursion and finishing with a beatless, sea-sick synth-driven interpretation of The Beach Boyz' 'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times'. The last one in particular is a stone cold winner, so if you're into Various, Mike Slott, or Fly Lo you should be peeping this.A1 GB Interprets Little Dragon - After The Rain A2 GB Interprets Exile (6) - Radio Medley A3 GB Interprets Flying Lotus - Riot B1 GB Interprets Musinah* - Always B2 GB Interprets A Race Of Angels - The Main Attraction B3 GB Interprets Beach Boyz, The - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
