Gift of Gab was most definitely a big part of my life's soundtrack since high school. I might have seen Blackalicious in concert more often than any other group. He was one of the most brilliant emcees I've ever heard, and from all accounts was just a great human. Sending love out to his family and friends. This is just a short tribute mix with a few favorite tracks and a few samples that give me that feeling that became part of the legendary music he and Chief Xcel made together. RIP.

The Emotions - Blind Alley (Altered Tapes Remix) Instrumental

Altered Tapes at Taste of Randolph (June 2014)

Stems remix. Extended, embiggened, & dj-friendly. Huge fan of the original but decided to give it a 4-on-the-floor feel & quantized the outro to 110bpm.

Pharcyde + Dilla get the treatment on AT 011. More of a remix than a rework this time around. We upped the tempo, added drums, and more Samba flavor. An Ode To the Classics / Reworked for the Dance Floor.

Stuck off the realness? Looking for the infamous? Well then, prepare to throw down as we bring the raw funk to the official Queensbridge murderas, Mobb Deep! We’ve combined their seminal 90s anthem, “Shook Ones” with the driving groove of Lefties’ “Chop It”. Throw your hands up ‘cause there ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks ;-)

The Pharcyde - Passin Me By (over SoulChef - With You)

Was chopping up some horn hits from a classic Salsa tune, threw some drums on it and then G Rap's vocal was a natural fit.  Enjoy...

Kool G Rap - Ill Street Blues (El Barrio Mix)

Back in 2002, High C of the Dallas Texas based crate digging crew Rehash and DJ Raj Mahal of Soul Strut would swap mixes to feature on each other's site (Real Audio style).  The mixes usually contained loads of breaks and beats lifted from obscure 70s jazz & funk, with the occasional soundtrack and prog record thrown in.  I present you exhibit A.

Keep Bouncing.

Drawing inspiration from decades of Funk, Latin, Jazz and Hip-Hop music, Altered Tapes remixes / re-edits / reworks the classics. Extracting their basic elements and then reconstructing into dance floor bangers.

The production / DJ duo consists of Maker & DJ Trew. Fueled by a passion for crate digging, original breaks, and timeless music, the overall concept of the project is to elevate the art of the remix to unexplored levels. Their creations remain true to the original artists & songs, while at the same time becoming completely new compositions.

Live and direct from the Windy City...
