It’s a rare find when an artist revisits a trail of memorable masterworks, remixing the original multi-track reels and creating a reverent rhythmic rebirth. “Kenny Dope Presents Randy Muller’s Best” is such a rare find. This latest collaboration between dance floor commander DJ / producer Kenny Dope and one of dance and modern R&B’s greatest visionary composer-arranger-producers, Randy Muller, results in a refreshing and infectious recasting of some of Muller’s most majestic jams. Classics such as “Movin” by Brass Construction, “Express” and “Peace Pipe” by B.T. Express, “Boogie’s Gonna Get Ya” by Rafael Cameron, “I Surrender” by Funk Deluxe and “Call Me”, “High” and “Let’s Celebrate” by Skyy, bounce back in combustible new forms: sharper architectural soundscapes, deeper big-daddy grooves, heavier bottom beats and fresh, unpredictable arrangements are showcased. It all feels like an extended old-school embrace with a sumptuous twist. This is a must for Iconoclasts as well as keepers of the future-funk flame. As Muller says, the songs are updated with today’s best technology “while preserving the classic sound of each track.” Groove masters Muller and Dope have done it again!
