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."

"Originally a graphic designer, Jackson first gained musical acclaim as the mastermind behind hip hop act The Brotherhood and the founder of seminal label Bite It!. In 2001, Playgroup released its self-titled debut album, unleashing a flurry of acclaim. Mashing up funk, punk, hip hop and new wave into a funky bouillabaisse of beats with guest appearances by reggae star Shinehead, indie pioneer Edwyn Collins, and Le Tigres Kathleen Hanna, the Playgroup project is positive and uplifting music with an underground feel and some serious pop appeal. For his DJ Kicks installment, Trevor Jackson came up with a selection that reflects many of his musical influences from the past. You'll find all time heroes like the Human League and KC Flightt as well as current hot shots like New York's Metro Area and no-wave revivalists The Rapture, original punk-funksters The Flying Lizards, Manchesters J-Walk, and the wicked I:Cube Mix of Ana Rago. Trevor Jackson blends music from more than two decades of club and dance culture into a superbly funked up mix."
