...track, “V.I. (The Last Words She Said Before Leaving)” is that it is dull and repetitive. This effort (in that it’s an effort to listen to) falls far short of the bar set by the first two tracks; amateur Internet remix geeks have come up with far better. It’s one thing to find something good and to stick with it, but there is no logical justification for Mirwais’ almost obsessive repetition of the same, horrible samples. Skip this track. Your eardrums will thank...
...music certainly does. His most recent release, Music for the Maases, contains much of his groundbreaking work from the past several years, including releases under the pseudonyms Orinoko and Kinetic A.T.O.M. Also included is the track that sparked his latest rise to global prominence, a groove-laden remix of Azzido Da Bass's "Doom's Night." Flight delays threatened to wreak havoc with the German producer-DJ's recent tour stop in Boston, but we caught up with him after an in-store set at Sound Factory in Allston...

The crowd certainly ate it up, roaring with anticipation as the familiar shuffling beat filtered from the speakers, but not so much that anyone could call Maas a one-remix wonder. If anything, they much preferred lesser-known but equally well-crafted Maas tracks, occasionally jumping up and down with the reckless abandon of seventh-graders at a school dance. That's not to say that...
...trying to alphabetize a couple of hundred CDs. But then, like a lot of kids my age, I started doing Napster. Seven hundred downloads later, my collection is hopelessly Balkanized. To listen to a Moby track, I can stick a CD on the stereo. But to hear the remix, I have to run downstairs, fire up the PC and select the right MP3. I tried ripping all my CDs onto my computer, but its 2-GB hard drive gave out before...
...initially thrown off by its weird, shuffling beats, even the most funk-deprived booties will succumb to the awesome mess of kick drums, crisp snares, fat melodic bass and sensuous vocals that soon follow. The remaining tracks mirror this musical blueprint with fairly uniform degrees of success. Even a remix of an All Saints song manages to sound fresh...
