Peeping the new video for my absolute favorite track off Little Dragon's Nabuma Rubberband got me curious to find out how the rest of the sonic aficionados feel about it.
Go Yama does magical things. The structure of "Pretty Girls" is subtly reassembled, and a trip hop beat is no longer just a trip hop beat, but a hot and thick honey melting off the side porridge of jazz and cosmic synth additions. It's genre-transcending, the best if not the most important thing about remixes.
Hailing from San Diego, Go Yama, aka Garrett "Scooter" Oyama, is a jazz guitarist and beat fabricator who knows all the right spots to tickle, whether we're talking Aaliyah(I'm picking up on fetish for 2:41) or Flying Lotus.
