Three degrees - Mercy (Greg Wilson Edit)

Greg Wilson has added a volume two to the series "Credit To The Edit". And all 12 edit are done in Greg's usual style: respectfully and very professionally. The acts are as diverse as Roxy Music, A Guy Called Gerald and O.M.D.

Another artist that get's the "Wilson-treatment" is The Third Degree and their Duffy Cover "Mercy". A straight up edit that "just" prolongues the good parts. Btw: The Third Degree project is masterminded by founder of Acid Jazz, Eddie Piller, Frederik Ekander, Swedish label guy with acess to the legendary Cosmos studio, and Marshall Chess, son of Chess label founder. Their mission is to further "real" live recorded music as opposed to digitally recorded music made across the web.

Also on Greg wilson's site I've found a 101 on how to edit with reel-to-reel tape. Maybe just a fun fact, as I guess not even he him self uses this method any longer. Read Greg Wilson's How to edits 101

Check out the rest of Greg Wilson's site as it is a DJ source of interview, history and footage.

Magic Number (Todd Terje re-edit) - Herbie Hancock

About time this guy got mentioned here. This is just one of the maybe hundreds of re-edits from Todd Terje. Nothing much to say. Made to perfection. Not much of Sylvesters vocals left, but that's how Mr. Terje rolls. Todd's edit starts where the original version takes off at 3:50 and ends with the beginning of the original. Confused? A-B check with the original off the 1981 album "Magic Window"

Also Todd Terje just did an official re-edit of M "Pop Muzik" in its 30 year celebration. See itunes

Btw: if you're curious here's a mix of 100% Todd Terje edits. The mix is made by DJ Tommy Richardson: http://timmyrichardsonpresents.com/essential-todd-terje-part-i.html

Listen to the Herbie Hancock re-edit:
I'll post more Todd Terje re-edits later.
