Edits LP

Wolf + Lamb are releasing a free EP via digital download today, featuring six edits by young label mainstay Nicolas Jaar.
The Brooklyn imprint's trademark edits have gotten a lot buzz here on RA recently, mostly due to a contentious review and the somewhat epic forum thread that followed. Along with labelmates like Soul Clap, Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, Jaar has a distinctive way of tinkering with well known tunes, as showcased in his eclectic RA podcast (which debuted some of the tracks featured here). Behind these slightly altered titles lie reworks of New Order, The Grateful Dead and one of house music's most popular edit subjects, Nina Simone. This one's worth a listen whatever your stance on the aforementioned debate, as it marks a talented new artist's first foray into the world of edits. And it is free, after all.
