Double LP version. Music from Skalpel's iconic debut for Ninja Tune, reinterpreted by top Polish producers! Poland's ambassadors of jazz-inspired electronics invited outstanding local producers of downtempo, dance music, hip-hop, and jazz to remix this album. The result is Recut, the best remix album in the history of Polish phonography. A record every bit as worthy as the historic original. It's an extraordinary tale of the past and present of Polish electronic music. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Skalpel's debut album, which was released by the famous British label Ninja Tune in 2004. The Polish duo, Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudło, gained international acclaim by venturing into the then lesser-known territory of Eastern European jazz, updating it with electronic tools. Pitchfork enthusiastically praised the album: "On these tracks, Skalpel smudge the line between organic and electronic effortlessly, like a landscape artist working with charcoal, creating NoPaper Records deep nuances of light and shadow that give the work its overall depth. Its rhythmic dexterity and melodic sweep are hard to deny." Featuring remixes from Latarnik, Pejzaż, Expo 2000, Magiera, Kacper Krupa, Zuchy, Emade, Zura, ETNOBOTANIKA, Steez, En2ak & Rafał Dutkiewicz, Kixnare, Envee, Daniel Szlajnda, 2K88, and Pstyk.
