Got The Bug: Remixes Collection
About This Album
Got the Bug is a handy package, collecting 12 remixes from West London's Bugz in the Attic -- leaving almost as many out of the equation -- and adding a trio of the group's own productions, along with a bonus disc that provides most of those tracks in the form of a well-executed DJ set. One factor that might be irritating for some is that, in order to squeeze more tracks onto the first disc and make for an easier-to-listen-to-in-one-shot compilation, the crew sawed off a couple minutes from most of the remixes. We're not talking drastic, deal-breaking hatchet jobs, but the extended intros and outros are significant portions -- especially since the tracks were originally formatted for dancefloors. (The vinyl version, however, includes the tracks in full form.) Regardless, it's a strong showcase of one of the best remix teams around. For the past several years, Bugz in the Attic have been the ambassadors of broken beat, spinning relentlessly bright and choppy dancefloor tracks for a considerable range of downtempo, R&B, and house artists. Their ambitious streak is best exemplified by a remake of Gene Harris' "Losalamitoslatinfunklovesong," in which they show off their soul-jazz/fusion chops.
