4.0 out of 5 stars The U.K. does the Bronx, July 10, 2000
This review is from: Still / The Joint : Sugar Hill Remixed (Audio CD)
In a move that is by now well-precedented, Sequel enlisted some of the UK's most innovative club/remix producers to overhaul the Sugarhill Records catalog. They couldn't merely update the tracks by giving them contemporary rhythms and production, because the originals continue to be mined for their nascent funk.

So, happily, they went at the remixes with more hubris, radically upsetting the architecture of the originals. On this count, the first disc has a slight edge with epic mixes of "Pump Me Up" and "Wheels of Steel" and a bombastic "Sugar Hill Suite." Disc Two's most interesting track might be Two Lone Swordsmen's remix of "Funk You Up", which submerges the original backing track in their familiar watery mix.

In the end STILL/THE JOINT carries the banner for creative remixing and has spawned a few new classics from classics, which was the probable goal.
