The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $25,000 by August 9.
On Adaptation, Analog Suspect and Selecta Roswell, who oversee the Dojo collective’s inner sanctum, have invited some of Denver’s up-and-coming sound manipulators into their temple to re-envision tracks culled from the act’s debut, Subliminal Teachings, and the instrumental offering Everything Flows. The result is a meditative poem that traffics in dub, trip-hop and found sounds from films and the Far East. The remixes allow each song to breathe, as on DJ Dnile’s chill remix of “Animals,” or to discombobulate, which happens when This Will Hurt You attacks “Metropolis 2004.” The Dojo’s vision of a polyglot hip-hop meshes well on “Shadow Warrior,”with McPullish giving the track a DJ Krush/Lee Perry makeover, and on the aptly titled “Bombin on the Great Wall,” which features Undefiable MC and the Verse. This first installation in a series of promised collaborations is a vibrant excavation into the deep potentialities of the Dojo’s music.
