A dub-wise/dancehall-bound radical remix album of some of the holy sounds/songs and infinite grooves on Piercing The Veil : williamparker.bandcamp.com/album/piercing-the-veil by master musicians William Parker & Hamid Drake was intended from the beginning. We were just waiting for a sign as to who would be right & ready for the task. The question was answered in the summertime. At a tremendous outdoor event by the name of Firescape, held at the Old American Can Factory in Brooklyn. Organic Grooves provided the live soundtrack. The mind-altering/body-moving music they generated that night had a very positive effect. A copy of Piercing The Veil with the note "REMIX?" inside was discreetly placed near the decks, and 3 days later, Organic Grooves' Sasha Crnobrnja ('sir-no-burn-Jah') gave a call..
