Sideshow is a side project for Ninja Tune’s Fink, released on a new label started with collaborator Will Saul [unfortunately only available on download apart from a run of limited CDs]. 2004’s ‘The Slide’ was thrusting, groovy and atmospheric and marked Mathew Jonson’s first remix. Both versions are here accompanied by sinister dub workouts like ‘You’ve Changed Dub’ [inspired by jazz innovator Keith Jarrett], the blues guitar-caressed ‘Music For You’ and grainy minimal of ‘Polar Bear Dub’. He lets more remixers have a go with Lee Jones tackling ‘Bhalobashi’, John Tejada smearing electronic hallucinations over ‘Scary Biscuits’ and Jesse Rose hotwiring ‘Philly Soundworks’. A veritable hotbed of electronic foraging.
