Pasteelo-Fidelity Sessions vol. 1. Mixed and compiled by Jabar Ligla for Pasteelo Records. 

Limited cassette release available at www.pasteelo.com

It all started with the cassette.. Growing up in the 90's pre-internet era, meant that our ways to get inspired was by the things we observed in the streets, skate shops, record stores, magazines, VHS tapes or the music we heard on the radio. 

Deeply inspired by the US East Coast underground hip hop scene, we started collecting vinyl and doing dubs from the rarely-existing dope DK radio shows.. (thanks to Peder, Knud, Noize, Typhoon & DJ Power for the inspiration!).
Dubbing and compiling the illest joints from the radio to cassette became a weekly rutine.

Piles of mixtapes on cassettes and 20+ internet years later, we now felt like doing a tribute cassette to the sounds that raised us. 

This is actually the 20th Pasteelo Mixtape - What a way to celebrate!

The mixtape mainly contains instrumentals and a few vocal tracks from the 1994-2000 golden era of independent hip hop. Enjoy!

FunkNotes

Mr Bop-Listen To The Radio While Waiting For Spring

Dick is a Girls Best Friend

Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

Shattered bottles on the sidewalk shine
Men step over truth just to stay in line
Sirens cut sleep into broken parts
Rent stays late, fear stays sharp
I hear rage talk louder than plans
Smell of stress on the back of my hands
No exit sign in a crowded hall
Still expected to stand tall

Don’t test me when I’m holding it in
I’m learning control, not giving in
I breathe, I pause, I stay aware
The line is thin but I stay there
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

Leaning out windows counting days
Watching engines drag their weight
A woman sleeps inside a coat
City taught her how to float
Everybody selling strength like proof
Nobody teaching how to heal the root
Masculine coded as clenched jaw
But nobody wins a war at home

Don’t test me when I’m holding it in
I’m learning control, not giving in
I breathe, I pause, I stay aware
The line is thin but I stay there
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

My brother cracked under silent debt
Sold the screen just to dodge regret
Collectors knock with practiced tone
Fear arrives when I’m not home
No ride to work, no voice to strike
Bills stack faster than advice
Body tight, mind overstimmed
Anger feels earned but still feels wrong

Don’t test me when I’m holding it in
I’m learning control, not giving in
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

My son said “Why should I play fair
When respect don’t live out there?”
Kids learn violence before math
That’s a system flaw, not a path
They fix the wound but ignore the cause
Replace the arm, don’t stop the laws
I keep my distance from nightfall parks
Not from fear, from knowing stats

Don’t test me when I’m holding it in
I’m learning control, not giving in
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

A child arrives with open eyes
No map for truth, no guide for lies
Hope smiles first, then learns restraint
Love exists but pain gets trained
You see success wearing crime
Money talks loud, ethics whisper quiet
Masculinity sold as domination
Not accountability or regulation
Cycles repeat when no one stops
Manhood confused with taking shots
I argue this with every breath
Strength is choosing life over death

Don’t test me when I’m holding it in
I’m learning control, not giving in
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds
Pressure builds in silence
I ask myself how balance still holds

Conversations break into noise
Authority mistakes control for voice
Hands go up, tension spikes
Conflict tests the man, not the mic
I step back, refuse the bait
Masculinity means regulating weight
I don’t explode, I don’t submit
I stay present inside the conflict

Masculinity conflict

Figub Brazlevic - Kaseta De Ouf (Beattape mixed by Beatpete)

Flashback. At the turn of the first decade of 2000, a stray cat from the Parisian suburbs named Fritz came to skin the bling bling of the time by imposing his claw on the scene of international indie rap. With Slow Down and On & On a series of EPs on 7’ in an ultra-efficient jazzy manifesto, the beatmaker earned his stripes with class and insolence. Since then, the path of the Paris’ tom cat is built over his experiences and meetings, including the album Beats Per Minute in duet with rapper Audessey (Soundsci), released on the prestigious American label Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). One will not need more to register the legend of ACCF on the pantheon of the most talented French producers of international underground Hip Hop and confirm the adage that cats control the world.
In 2015, Fritz decides to condense his night wanderings in his first album Tribulations & Life of, an album anchored in his time, made in the moment and with instinct. A few years later, crowned by a signature at the legendary German label HHV, Fritz continues to drag his feline silhouette to the four corners of the globe. So that listening to his latest album Vertical Iris gives the pleasant sensation of moving forward Stealthily in known terrain as on a new land to clear.
Addictive samples, raw and rough tones nuanced from the blue notes of the 90’s rap punctuated by cinematographic atmospheres, the same flawless recipe applied since its beginnings, is here reinforced by a slew of hand-picked featurings such as Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce / US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK) ...


Flashback. Au détour de la première décennie 2000, un chat de gouttière de la banlieue parisienne nommé Fritz venait écorcher le bling bling de l’époque en imposant sa griffe sur la scène du rap indé international. Avec "Slow Down" et "On & On" une série de EP 45 tours inscrits dans un manifeste jazzy ultra efficace, le beatmaker gagnait ses galons avec classe et insolence. Depuis, le chemin du matou parisien se construit au fil de ses expériences et rencontres, notamment l’album Beats Per Minute en duo avec le rapper Audessey (Soundsci), sorti sur le prestigieux label américain Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). Il n’en faudra pas plus pour inscrire la légende de A Cat Called Fritz au panthéon des producteurs français les plus talentueux du Hip Hop underground international et confirmer l’adage qui veut que les chats contrôlent le monde.
En 2015 Fritz décide de condenser ses errances nocturnes dans son premier album Tribulations & Life of, un album ancré dans son époque, fait dans l’instant et avec instinct. Quelques années plus tard, auréolé d’une signature chez le mythique label allemand HHV, Fritz continue de trainer sa silhouette féline aux quatre coins du globe. Si bien que l’écoute de son dernier opus Vertical Iris donne l’agréable sensation d’avancer à pas de velours en terrain connu comme sur une terre nouvelle à défricher. Samples addictifs, sonorités brutes et rugueuses nuancées des notes bleues propres au rap des 90’s ponctués d’atmosphères cinématographiques, la même recette sans faille appliquée depuis ses débuts se trouve ici renforcée par une flopée de featurings triés sur le volet tels que Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce/US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK)...
