Different Use well-received

It's been great to see a positive response to the most recent Shinobi Cuts remix chain.

It was the sixth album in the series that I've been coordinating with Ben Coffer.

Our musical heroes Coldcut, who pretty much invented remixing, mentioned it on social media.

And the website Bandcamp included it in their "The Best Electronic Music" for February:
This is what the internet was always supposed to be about: not filter bubbles and corporate domination, but ready collaboration, international linkage, and expecting the unexpected. Coordinated by Brit in Macedonia and leftfield electronica veteran Martin “MDK” Wood, this is a musical game of pass the parcel: each track is a remix of the previous one, starting with Wood’s own tune, which was handed around the planet until finally, it ended up back with him in Skopje, 15 generations on, completely unrecognizable and ready for him to remix once again. The names are unfamiliar, the sounds go from dub reggae to processed rock drumming loops to large quantities of Aphex Twin-influenced braindance. The quality is high throughout, but the joy of this is in hearing the whole album, watching an idea as it passes through many minds, and feeling the absolute joy in the process.

Living in regional Australia led Jason Richardson to sample landscapes instead of records.
