Beyond the Wizards Sleeve is a collaboration between Trash supremo and indie kids DJ of choice Erol Alkan, and Richard Norris ex of The Grid. They first came to my attention when i heard their re-animation (as they call them) of Promises by Badly Drawn Boy on a Jazzanova mix. I'd never heard the original of this track as i lost interest in Badly Drawn Boy many years ago but this mix is lovely stuff, kind of late 80's/early 90's mid tempo piano house. Proper 5am tackle.

Since hearing that i've been out and bought their Re-Animations cd, a 12 track compilation of their remixes to date. I'm not loving it all at the minute TBO but its early days. What i am loving though is their re-animation of Roscoe by Midlake. The original of this track is one of my favourites from recent years, so i was a little worried it could be ruined. I shouldn't have worried as what they've done is just add to beauty of the original. Dare i say bettering it!?
