RMXXOLOGY, Delicious Vinyl's compilation of tracks from its back catalog remixed by newer dance and hip-hop artists, just got a whole lot more delicious. And a whole lot more confusing.

OK, here's the deal:

What we didn't know before is that RMXXOLOGY has two volumes. In addition to Hot Chip, Peaches, and Aaron LaCrate & Debonair Samir remixes of tracks by the Pharcyde, Tone-Loc, and Young MC, Vol. 1's tracklist includes an Eminem remix of Masta Ace's "Slaughtahouse". Vol. 1 gets a worldwide digital release on June 3, and a two-LP vinyl version follows in the U.S. and Europe on July 29. The one difference with the vinyl release is that it doesn't include the digital/CD copy's five instrumental tracks.

The CD release is where things get more complicated, largely because it is a two-disc package that includes the still-tentative Vol. 2 as its second disc. Right now, it's scheduled for a July 29 release in the U.S., but it could get pushed back to August 12, depending on the completion of a few Vol. 2 contributions. The list of Vol. 2 remixers tentatively includes Diplo, DJ Mehdi, Pink Enemy's Cory Nitta, Aaron LaCrate, Bobby Birdman, and Bass Over Babylon. The CD has no confirmed international release date.

To top all of this off, Delicious is planning the release of more singles throughout the summer and a deluxe vinyl/digital box set featuring all of this content in September. We shall see, dudes. Just put out Vol. 1 first!
