Jezebell have taken the closing, climatic track, Turn It Yes, from their recent second volume of Jezebellearic Beats and handed it over to some musically like minded souls for a series of remixes. The original is a prime piece of prancing, percolating electro-disco, which centres around a Yoko Ono sample – where the acclaimed former Fluxus member pushes the power of words and the power of positive thinking. The track’s key riff is a ringing refrain that sounds like it was bitten from The Sabres Of Paradise’s Smokebelch. 

Tronik Youth and Ian Vale join forces as Parvale for a mentally gated, acid and breakbeat bolstered rework. Sean Johnston then steps up for a pumping, progressive house Hardway Bros shake. Adding ping pong-ing rave bleeps and big fanfare synths. Banging, and bouncing this certainly got Convenanza’s magic castle jumping last September. 

Finally Justin Robertson dons his Five Green Moons guise,  delivering a dynamite dub. Sedating the song, getting it seriously stoned. Now slowed to a crawl, with a growling Jah Wobble-esque bass-line, the tune bubbles and skanks beneath honks of free jazz horns and spaced-out washes of echoed vocals. That Smokebelch-esqe snippet, however, provides a pop hook, especially when compared to previous FGM missives. It had me going back to the shelves to dig out Justin’s classic Sugarcubes remix.
