You & I  (Disco Tech rework)

The 9th entry into the Heat Rock catalog dives deep into Memphis Soul / Funk territory with a pair of ‘stems’ remixes. The A-side features a track from Chicago’s Altered Tapes crew and their take on a West Coast Gangster Rap classic. And on the flip, Oakland’s own DJ Platurn banged out a drum break-heavy edit and homage to one of our favorite, early cut ‘n paste producers. Cop doubles for all your wax addiction needs!

DJ Platurn - King Penguin (Funky Beats Edit)

The 10th entry into the Heat Rock catalog boasts a duo of uptempo, Dancefloor-friendly remixes with slinky, upright basslines and a B-Boy flair. Altered Tapes’ (Chicago) remix of 90s Diva classic features heavy percussion and a massive breakdown, while King Most (Bay Area) flips a Disco acapella, and adds a touch of Jazz-meets-James-Brown breakbeats. Copping doubles is highly recommended!

The artwork for this series was designed by talented Mike2600 of BRLSQ, and inspired by vintage 7inch factory sleeve designs. The limited edition 45s include custom cover art and colored vinyl. (A black wax version with a different label color scheme will be available mid-August).

King Most - This Ain't No Game (Go! Go! Go!)

The 14th release from Heat Rock Records, and the final 45rpm in this series of 7, drops Black Friday 2022! Featuring a duo of Bad Boy flips from  Cutso (Bay Area, USA) who puts a housey touch on a classic Big Momma cut, while BoomBaptist (Texas, USA) lives up to his name and blesses a Queen B track with a heavy dose of drums and synth flavors. There’s a big BPM difference between the sides which makes this one a must-have DJ tool. Doubles are recommended!

Cutso - LKMBMT (Yagoditgowinon)

Next up in the Heat Rock catalog! For HR-017, Altered Tapes (Chicago, USA) and Double A (New Zealand) team up for two sides of pure fire! Side A features one of our favorite flute loops turned up to 11, backed by a chunky drum break, and Side B boasts a soulful revisit of a 00’s Dirty South classic. There’s a big BPM difference between the sides which makes this one a must-have DJ tool. Doubles are recommended!

Altered Tapes - Watch Out Now (Hijackin' For Beats Remix)

This song is a very special one for me. It all started some weeks ago, when I came across this absolutely amazing song - "Old Friend" by the australian singer Hoodlem. I instantly fell in love with her voice, in love with all that emotion and melancholy. So I decided to write her a message, telling her how much I've fallen for her voice...and the rest ist history :)


Hoodlem x SAINT WKND - Old Friend

One of James Brown's Soul Sisters. According to Mr. Brown's autobiography, Vicki Anderson was the best female singer he had in his revue. She Joined Brown in 1965 replacing Anna King and she held her position there until she was replaced by Marva Whitney 3 years after in 1968. But she re-joined after Marva departed in 1969 for further three years until Lyn Collins took over. She disapeared after she left Brown for a while and resurfaced in 1975 with a single, featuring a cover of Rufus & Chaka Khan Hit Once You Get Started and Bobby Womack's Stop On By on Browns I-Dentify label, but this single failed to do any damage, and after this, Vicki never showed any signs to do studio work but she was regulary appearing in James Brown Funky People revue in the late 80s, and again with Bobby Byrd in the early 90s.

Chill Bro, Power Up 🥊☝️

Many of you may be familiar with the legend of this song, how it pitted a small indie label (Wild Pitch) against the BMG behemoth, and opened doors for Sampling / Remixes. Most likely, you're more familiar with Snap's version than Chill Rob's and this is a problem we'd like to fix. We're hardcore Flava Unit / 45 King fans over here, so our idea with this remix was to create a version focused on Chill Rob that will hopefully make you forget about Snap completely. We built this around a bell-less drum break that we all know and love and turned up the energy a few notches for a Moombahton/ Jazz Dance / B-Boy killer. Includes a hookless, but horny instrumental as well as a version with hook. It's getting kinda hectic!
