📀 Memoirs of Hi​-​Tech Jazz Remixes
Waajeed’s 2022 long player, Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz, was an aural love letter to his hometown of Detroit; an amalgam of the city’s history, coalescing the personal, political and, of course, musical past.
From the Motown soul assembly line to J Dilla’s musically dense Hip-Hop to The Stooges’ proto-Punk to the birth of Techno, the music of the Motor City has spread across the globe inspiring countless artists who in turn went on to create their own forms and genres.
Emulating this movement and transmutation, the Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz remixes 12” sees artists from three continents repurpose elements from across the LP, transforming them into productions stamped with their own trademark styles whilst retaining the spirit of each original:
the UK’s Mark Broom loops sections of Right Now while speeding up the BPM for a classic UK-style techno remix; Ghana-born Yazzus takes on The Ballad of Robert O’Bryant adding a surprising number of twists and turns for a five-and-a-half-minute piece; Australians Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code close the 12” out with their take on the album’s title and opening track neatly closing the loop, bringing us full circle to the start of the LP.
The release of Memoirs…remixes add another facet to the immensely heartfelt tribute to Detroit from one of its most talented citizens and a true milestone in the Tresor catalogue.

🎧 Waajeed
Robert O'Bryant. Detroit underground mainstay Waajeed is an inventive producer whose indefatigable head-down work ethic has resulted in a varied discography and an equally diverse global network of collaborators. An original member of rap group Slum Village, Waajeed progressed from DJ to beatmaker before co-founding Platinum Pied Pipers, a group who issued two highly regarded albums of forward-thinking R&B and hip-hop during the 2000s. Between those releases, he issued The War LP, a comparatively grim (if no less collaborative) solo project, and since then, he has favored house music with the albums From the Dirt LP (2018) and Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz (2022). The latter full-length was
issued on Berlin's revered Tresor label.
