Buried Treasure 170 review

I was introduced to MELT 2000 by Tony Thorpe (KLF / Moody Boyz) in 1999 whilst working on an Airto remix project. Robert Trunz's philanthropic label had amassed a large catalogue of music & field recordings, focusing on tribal & spiritual sounds from South Africa. Robert also had an ear to sound system culture & was encouraging collaborations between his artists & producers such as Juno Reactor, Smith & Mighty, Biosphere, Roni Size & System 7.

By 2007 my Nanny Tango imprint was making headway with a series of 7" releases aligned to jazz-room & electro audiences. I wondered if a MELT 2000 remix album might be possible on similar lines. Robert was encouraging so I began co-ordinating Vibrations From The Motherland. We soon had a strong collection of mixes by Maga Bo, Spritual South, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Henrik Schwarz & others, ranging from tech-house to Bali-funk, dubstep, glitch, nu-soul & breaks. We also had some amazing visuals by the late designer Jon Kemp. But just as we were finalising the release, the financial crash of 2008 pushed everything off course. Without going into too much detail, the album was reluctantly shelved & soon after Nanny Tango closed shop.

Five years later Buried Treasure was set up & whilst it was always intended to offer a vinyl release, the label's focus had shifted towards esoteric electronics, library music & soundtracks. So the timing wasn't quite right until now. As one of three final Buried Treasure releases, the lost MELT 2000 remixes are presented on a vinyl LP as originally intended. It's also my hope that the album serves as an example of respectful collaboration across continents during an era of endlessly manufactured division.
