Jon Kennedy – Corporeal Remixed

Jon Kennedy is a drummer, dj and music producer who has long been spreading his passion for beats, bass lines and luscious melodies through his dj sets, radio shows and productions and following on from his Corporeal album release in mid-2013, he has just released a collection of remixes from the album on his own Jon Kennedy Federation label. The original album was an eclectic blend of genre bending trip hop and down tempo type grooves that in my opinion held ground with some of the biggest albums of the genre (did someone say Endtroducing) and on the remix front we again find vast arrays of genres present which should come as no surprise when you see the list of artists that are on offer.

The chilled trip hop feel is still ever present, particularly in Cartier Saucier, Exhibitor and Marc Mac’s offerings and there are also Jazz and Hip hop vibes abound on the mixes supplied by Sinuz, Oliver Lowe, Dj Flux & friends and Head Chamber, the latter being a head nodding remix of Pronounce Your Shit which has a sound very reminiscent of old school Gramatik that doesn’t disappoint. Things delve down and deep on the tunes from Marcus Intalex & Trevino,  Evirgen, Lopez & Undercover 83 and Phillip T.B.C whilst the tempo gets jacked all the way to max with Rolaz’s remix of Flow, N3GUS’s version of Bossa No Var  and JFB’s take on Live My Life all of which are gritty DnB numbers that still manage to capture the essence of the original tune, a testament to the genre jumping feel of the entire album.

Corporeal Remixed is a sublime collection of varied styles, vibes and tempos that, with the Jon Kennedy sound as a backbone, gives continuity to the album as a whole and makes for a thoroughly unique and enjoyable listening experience. Many of the tracks would also easily make the transition to the club setting but in my opinion the album needs to be listened to as a whole to get the full appreciation of its quality, a definite must have.
