Tracking down el Frijolero (nee Michael Brown) for an interview to mark the release of this record proved harder than initially anticipated. Despite enjoying world-wide success throughout the late 90's and early 2000s - as well as a whole slew of critically acclaimed releases – the US born producer has faded into relative obscurity after joining a religious cult in the secluded countryside of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. His last confirmed sighting was from a friend six years ago, who told us that Brown had left the cult after filing for insolvency. These previously unreleased remixes were found in a box of possessions in a friend's basement. They encapsulate the unrivaled talent and technical mastery of a man whose musical career and financial euphoria came to an abrupt end. 200 COPIES - HAND STAMPED
