I am not necessarily one for remixes (I’ve said this before) BUT the Verve Remix series is that fine thing that walks the line between sacriligeous and amazing, and ends up on the good side of the line.

After all, when, as on Vol. 4 which just came out, you have people like Diplo and Psapp and 9th Wonder laying their (ever capable) hands on songs by such flawless performers like Ella or Ron Ayers…you have to really fuck up to fuck up (pardon my French-ed).

ANYHOO, everyone should get the record no matter what (as well as Vol. 1 to 3) but we also have some vinyl of it to give away.

Cause we love you and nothing beats an early morning giveaway.
To win, post a comment with your favorite remix and we will let the winner know by Friday.

In the meantime prep up:
