Vinyl Reanimators
Remixes

Listening notes

Vinyl Reanimators released Remixes in 1996 as a self-released vinyl record, appearing under the "Not On Label" designation with catalog number CO2115. The release falls within the boom bap and hip hop genres, situating it within a period when independently distributed remix projects on vinyl were a recognized part of hip hop's physical culture.

The record presents three remixed tracks across its two sides. The A-side carries vocal versions of "Whatever Man (Remix)," "How Ya Want It (Remix)," and "Rotten Apple (Remix)." The B-side mirrors this sequence with instrumental counterparts to each: "Whatever Man (Remix) (Instrumental)," "How Ya Want It (Remix) (Instrumental)," and "Rotten Apple (Remix) (Instrumental)." This vocal-and-instrumental split across the two sides was a common structural choice for hip hop twelve-inch releases of the era, offering DJs and producers access to the backing tracks separately from the vocal arrangements.

No durations are documented for any of the six tracks. The release carries no label affiliation, which may reflect an intentional independent release strategy or other circumstances that are not verifiable from the available information.

The "Not On Label" classification indicates the release was not commercially distributed through an established record label, a route taken by a number of artists in the mid-1990s hip hop underground to retain control over their material or to circulate music within specific regional or scene-based networks. Beyond these structural and cataloging details, the documented record does not support further characterization of the release's origins, personnel, or reception.
