Soul Supreme – Taking The Stand (Thes One Remix) (7″) [Soul Supreme Records SSR45008]

Now that’s what we call a remix treatment! Soul Supreme enlists a dream line-up for the official remix. The intro line is all there is to say that this 45 is a no-brainer to cop.

In typical crate-digging fashion, Thes One flips key elements from Soul Supreme’s “Taking The Stand” into a neck-snapping beat. The instrumental album version can be found on the B-side of this 45. The original is a beautifully melodic jazz-funk head-nodder featuring drums by Tamuz Dolev and a spirited guitar solo by Radiohop’s Johnny Biner.

Taking The Stand originally appeared on Soul Supreme’s highly acclaimed instrumental album Poetic Justice. Released last year, the album channeled his ongoing legal battle with a Norwegian label that stole his music. Fresh off his latest collaborations with Raw Poetic, Damu The Fudgemunk hopped back on the mic for this remix to voice his displeasure about shifty record labels.

Damu also laid down cuts for the outro of the track, serving as a tribute to the late Double K.
