Verve will be releasing the fourth edition of their world-renown Verve Remixed series on May 27th to the delight of music lovers everywhere. The concept of Verve Remixed is simple enough: take classic jazz and soul records and put them in the hands of the most capable mixologists to create updated versions of the tracks. Music from artists such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter have been refixed by the likes of Masters At Work, Miguel Migs and DJ Spinna, respectively, over the course of three discs.

Now with the impending release of volume four, James Brown has been added to the mix for the first time. His 1967 release "There Was A Time" has found its way onto the project with incredible results. The producer responsible for flipping the track? None other than Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, one-half of MAW. The song was already funky, but Kenny Dope's remix puts some more stank on it. Get your air freshener ready.
