2008 saw Ross Wakefield and Toby Vane aka Part Time Heroes release their debut album, Meanwhile, earning them global critical acclaim, and radio rotation from Zane Lowe, Mr Scruff, Ras Kwame, and Benji B, amongst others. Indeed, Gilles Peterson became the duo's number one champion, inviting them to record a live session at Maida Vale Studios.
The Part-Time Heroes' sound has often been compared to scene defining stalwarts like Koop, Zero 7 and Portishead. They push forward a uniquely refreshingly, wholesome and honest style, complete with live instrumentation, deep jazz roots, folky flourishes and organic, soul nourishing goodness. For this special release The Heroes have pulled favours, twisted arms and enlisted a selection of the music scene's finest producers to give their own interpretation of their music.
Southampton beat juggler Featurecast gives 'Method' his own b-boy bounce; Bristol's finest, Unforscene, get deep and epic with 'Angels Fly'; Boom Clap Bachelors and Wah Wah's very own Scrimshire both re-work the beautiful 'Sun Will Shine'; and on the dance floor tip, Compost's Marbert Rocel and UK production don Landslide turn 'In My Soul' and 'Realise' respectively into a pair of big club bangers! And as if that wasn't enough, the Heroes themselves deliver cracking remixes of 'Ready For Change', 'Shadowlands' and a monstrous drum & bass version of 'Stop, Fade, Blur'!!
