Now four years and five volumes deep, the series features established and emerging artists, handpicked by Ubiquity, covering the tunes of their choice.

Ultra Electro
(02 June 2006) - Ultra Records compilations, if you can get past Ultra Electro's cover art, you'll find a never-boring mix of dance music and club hits. On the heels of its successful multi-volume predecessors Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, New Order, Ladytron, Moby, Goldfrapp, and N.E.R.D. get redone by the likes of Soulwax, DFA, and Tommie Sunshine. Pick Ultra Electro up from Ultra Records or Amazon....

Ursula 1000: Here Comes Tomorrow
(03 February 2006) - "Savoir Faire is everywhere!" Ever since I first met this very unassuming maestro back in 1999 at DC's infamous Eighteenth Street Lounge, I've always been impressed with the high contrast between Alex Gimeno's mild-mannered in person demeanor and his jet set persona "Ursula 1000," a name that is defined by swift navigation of stylistic currents, savvy sense of humor (in song titles, art work...

(01 February 2006) - You know the feeling you get when you throw a DJ mix on your portable device for the first time and on your way out the door—even before you've adjusted the headset and locked the door behind you—you know you've got the perfect soundtrack to rock out and paint the town infrared? I've had FabricLive: The Herbaliser on infinite loop on my iPod for...
Shotgun Wedding Volume 4
(24 January 2006) - It's a gender battle between New York-based DJs Syrup Girls and Drop the Lime on this grime-heavy latest in the Shotgun Wedding series put out by Violent Turd, a sublabel of Tigerbeat6. Both vets of drum & bass scenes, Drop the Lime and the Syrup duo face-off on two tracks. Drop the Lime's three-turntable feat relentlessly mixes old school jungle, crunk, dubstep, and hip-hop,...
Jazzanova: The Remixes 2002-2005
(20 December 2005) - Following the stunning "Remixes 1997-2000," the eclectic album of originals "In Between," "In Between Remixed" and the dancefloor approved dj mix "Mixing," the Berlin-based six-member collective Jazzanova presents "The Remixes 2002-2005," a compilation of released, unreleased and brand new—if you haven't guessed it—remixes. Though shorter in number of tracks by far to the original "Remixes" collection, this new edition does not skimp on quality....
Beck - Guerolito : The Remix Album
(30 November 2005) - Due for release December 13, Beck's Guerolito is a unique and at times ballsy little brother to the critically-acclaimed, chart-topping album Guero. Beck personally chose 13 very diverse artists to re-interpret Guero, his eighth and most successful album to date, one that many people consider to be a return to the style of his breakout classic Odelay. Worth remembering, both Odelay and Guero utilized...
Cold Cut - Everything Is Under Control
(28 November 2005) - Cold Cut's Matt Black and Jonathan More should need no introduction. Anyone who remembers their classic remix of Eric B + Rakim's "Paid In Full" or their rendition of "Autumn Leaves" that epitomized the early downtempo sound of the 90's probably knows these guys as the stealth duo behind the UK's preeminent avantgarde record label Ninjatune. Their nearly 20 year collaboration has included many...
Star Wars Geek Out
(13 May 2005) - Listen to ill Star Wars beats with the in crowd, or at least the crowd that has been camping out in front of the Ziegfeld Theater since April 30th -- waiting to be the first to see “The Revenge of the Sith.” Over the next week, extreme Star Wars fans and DJs: the Super Sucklord, Billions McMillions, Crystal Pharoh (aka Dark Fader) and Jenny...
NIN + Garageband
(18 April 2005) - Whether you're a Trent Reznor fan or not, this is a pretty damn inventive way to release a single. We now know Trent Reznor is a Macintosh user, because he has released a single as a GarageBand file, for personal remixing. This is a promotion for the Nine Inch Nails upcoming release "With Teeth", which will be available May 3rd. "'What I'm giving you...
Verve Remixed 3 -- They Do it Again
(06 April 2005) - Verve: Remixed projects have done it again. The third volume in the series takes things up a notch by not only employing the skills of top DJs, but also some indie rock and hip-hop artists as well. This time around, the obvious divas are remixed, including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Sarah Vaughan, but South African-born jazz and world fusion visionary Hugh Masekela gets...
