Following on from her infectious and highly acclaimed debut, and the first remix album that dropped in late 2010, sublimely soulful vocalist Stac returns with fifteen more remixes from some of the UK’s finest and most exciting producers.On Volume Two of “The Remixes” you’ll find cutting edge beat-makers like Kidkanevil, Alex Patchwork, Blue Daisy and Yult, as well as more established names like First Word’s Herma Puma, Scottish producer Asthmatic Astronaut, Tru Thoughts artist Hint, and one of the UK’s most legendary names, Ashley Beedle.Also featured on this volume are the two very lucky winners of the remix competition we held on-line. London based duo Quirx, and Brighton outfit Ambassadeurs both deliver highly original and effective takes of Stac’s music, and we’re enormously pleased to feature such exciting young talent on this album!We love Stac – and we’re not the only ones….
