Build An Ark is a Los Angeles based creative soul-jazz ensemble. Formed by producer Carlos Nino (Ammoncontact) and singer Dwight Trible in an effort to encourage peace and love throughout the world. The band has toured Europe, Japan and the States and is a favorite of DJs and tastemakers everywhere (Giles Peterson and Madlib just to name a few). Build An Ark Remixes is the first 12" release from Peace With Every Step (Oct. ’04) and features incredible reinterpretations by some of Nino's favorite contemporary hip-hop and electronic producers.
Philly's Jneiro Jarel reworks Phil Ranelin's “Vibes From The Tribe” composition for the intro to side A. J.Rocc of the “World Famous” Beat Junkies makes BAA's classic version of Pharoah Sander's “You've Gotta Have Freedom” a dance floor hit. Nobody's remix of Ronnie Laws' “Always There” features a telling rap story by L.A. MC Sach (The Nonce) of his fallen partner Yusef to round out the side.
On the flip side, Daedelus contributes two tracks, one a remix of BAA’s version of the Sun Ra track “The Stars Are Singing Too” and the other he pushes and pulls from a BAA jam session and creates something entirely new with guitars and synthesized drums. Switzerland's Dimlite (Sonarkollektiv) ends this dynamic 12" with a stunning remix of Michael White's classic “The Blessing Song.”
All the tracks were originally recorded and released as part of Build An Ark’s highly acclaimed debut album Peace With Every Step which included LA Weekly Music Award Nominees in 2004 and 2005 and a 8.7 review for Pitchfork amongst other rave reviews and accolades.
