If it ain’t broken then don’t fix it
status iv - you ain’t really down (jazzanova’s hey baby remix) (mp3)
we’ll continue the recurring theme of playing records that we like by posting a track that’s received a rapturous reception down at bff on a few occasions now. it’s not a track that does a lot, but what it does do is absolutely beyond compare, with jazzanova taking a 20 year old track from status iv and applying their trademark tech-jazz template.
mark has had a run-in with the german nu-jazz pioneers a while back, who were lovely enough to send him a replacement cardboard sleeve for his “remixes 1997-2000″ (which contains, amongst other bombs, their remixes of ian pooley’s “what’s my number” and mj cole’s “sincere”). he emailed them a true-life sob-story of how his mum threw it in the bin one afternoon when she was cleaning up his room and bless them, they even threw in some free sonar kollektiv cd’s too!
so in summary - best foot forward ♥s jazzanova!

DJ Gordy added these pithy words on Jan 14 06 at 8:29 pm“You Ain’t Really Down” was a brilliant record though it never captured people’s imagination. There was a full length acapella on the flip and I think Jazzanova could have made more of it. I’ll get my copy out tomorrow and play the original.
I only bought it cos it was on the same UK label as Klein & MBO’s ‘Dirty Talk’.
Kev added these pithy words on Jan 15 06 at 2:28 amoh dirty talk is such a fantastic track to boot. apparently jazzanova had the accapella and played it live for a while, then released this one …
