US3's Platinum 'Hand On The Torch' Remastered And Expanded For 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, To Be Released September 17, 2013
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ BlueNote Records) This year marks the 20th anniversary of Us3's acclaimed, platinum-certified 1993 album, Hand On The Torch and its gold-certified lead single, "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)." To celebrate the occasion, the album has been digitally remastered and expanded with four new remixes of "Cantaloop" for a new 2-CD 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition to be released September 17 by Blue Note/UMe.

Formed in 1992, Us3 is the brainchild of London-based producer Geoff Wilkinson. Alongside former production partner Mel Simpson, the duo created a worldwide sensation with their 1993 debut release. Hand On The Torch became Blue Note Records' first-ever platinum-certified album in the U.S., and the single "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)," featuring a sample of Herbie Hancock's 1964 song "Cantaloupe Island," reached the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10.

The worldwide success of Us3 took everyone by surprise and proved a point to Wilkinson. "I always thought there was a huge potential audience for jazz amongst younger people, and I wanted Us3 to be a point of access for them. By sampling classic jazz tracks, mixing them with beats and raps, and having younger jazz cats playing on top I was acknowledging the past, staying rooted in the present, and looking forward to the future, all at the same time."

Live dates will be announced in due course on the Us3 website (below).
