Featuring remixes of: Nylon Pylon, Radio 4, Chicks On Speed, Louis Austin, Sinema, Revton, Playgroup, Softcell, The Rapture, Chromeo, Captain Comatose, Trash Palace, The VCR's, Andrea Doria, Yello. "Trevor Jackson began his journey in music back in the early days, designing classic and instantly identifiable record sleeves for the likes of Raze, Todd Terry, The Jungle Brothers, Eric B & Rakim and others. Then came his trademark cover designs for the Stereo MCs, the distinctive logo and cover art for techno label, Network, and the first S-Express single. In 1996 he decided to start his own label Output. Free of any preconceptions or expectations and now able to release any genre of music he wishes, Trevor felt inspired again. The label has released over 40 titles to date, home to the likes of Fourtet, 7-Hurtz, Sonovac, Black Strobe, and others who equally excite and intrigue as they do confuse and perplex. Despite Trevor's many creative commitments, he has successfully carved himself out a niche as one of the most sought-after remixers around. On Reproduction, Trevor shares his finest remix moments, with 16 tracks from some of clubland's most recognizable names reinterpreted into house anthems. Full to the brim with his trademark fat production, driving basslines, gritty hats and rough guitar licks, Trevor Jackson hits a dance floor formula, that is at once accessible, unique and deeply underground."

New version of the one & only Playgroup album, featuring an exclusive bonus remix disc with remixes by Black Strobe, Felix da Housecat, Chicken Lips, So Solid Crew, Todd Terry, Fatboy Slim, Pa-T-One, Soulwax, Ewan Pearson, Zongamin, Midnight Mike, and Optimo. "Playgroup is the brainchild of Trevor Jackson -- the producer behind UK rap outfit The Brotherhood and remixer extraordinaire for the likes of U2, Massive Attack, UNKLE and Death in Vegas. Playgroup is the fantasy album of a master producer running amok through his rolodex and record collection, rediscovering cult heroes and forgotten legends from the worlds of punk, funk, reggae, new wave, house and rap. It's Screamdelica meets Blue Lines for a new century, appealing to fans of both cutting edge and retro sounds. Playgroup features a host of musical mavericks; hip house poet KC Flightt brings the party vibes on 'Front 2 Back,' while Shinehead presses the dancehall pressure on a cover of Paul Simon's '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.' Scottish indie pioneers Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice) and Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera) are along for the ride, as well as original riot grrrl Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill & Le Tigre). Add to that ex-Headcoatees Kyra, Happy Mondays stalwart Rowetta, Lucy Pearl vocalist Joi, and finally Trevor himself singing on the dubelectro opus 'Overflow' and you have Playgroup: a compendium of perfect grooves and infectious pop sensibilities, fusing old and new schools into the ultimate millennial house party."

[reduced price on the last import copies of this album, now released domestically by Astralwerks] "Playgroup is the brainchild of Trevor Jackson, the producer/remixer better known as The Underdog aka the man who reshaped British hip hop and was responsible over sixty remixes for the likes of U2, Massive Attack, Unkle & Death In Vegas. Trevor also heads the experimental Output label and has designed a number of sleeves for acid house and early hip hop records. This highly-acclaimed album, whose sound is totally original and yet vaguely familiar, features a whole host of musical mavericks: Leila collaborator Luca Santucci, hip house legend KC Flightt, New York toaster Shinehead, Edwyn Collins, Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera), Kathleen Hannah (Le Tigre), Peaches & Gonzales, Rowetta (Happy Mondays), Kyra (ex Headcoatee), Joi (Dallas Austin cohort & Lucy Pearl vocalist), newcomer Sola as well as the vocal delights of Trevor Jackson himself. Playgroup is a scorching hotbed of seriously individual talent -- listen and love."
