We're back with our annual foray into the depths of the Wu-Tang catalog! This one has been brewing for a minute. We tried using a half dozen different drum breaks before we settled on the final monster. Overall, this is a more stripped down Altering. Just a big ol drum break, a heavy bassline, and blaring horn chops. Enjoy!

This song will support the Chicago West Community Music Center whose mission is "to harness the creative potential of individuals through education and to inspire artistic and cultural expression in such a way that helps foster positive relationships across neighborhood lines." We encourage you to visit their site to learn more about how the Center uses Music to inspire Chicago Youth in under-served neighborhoods.

How it will work: The 1st week of this song's release, when purchasing via Bandcamp, if you *pay more* that money will be considered your donation. If you only pay the base rate, we will contribute 50% of your purchase to CWCMC. If you'd like to give more than what this system allows or want to support the Center directly, go to www.cwcmc.org !!

Thanks for listening and for supporting,

Altered Tapes - Pinqy Ring Schitt

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!

Run For Cover

Everybody Everybody feat. Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band

The 11th entry into the Heat Rock catalog includes a pair of funky, breakbeat-heavy, Native Tongues family remixes. The A-side features a horn-laden remix from Trew (Altered Tapes / Chicago) that simultaneously flips a Funk and Hip-Hop classic. While on the B-side, Double A (Montreal) takes a Digger's favorite and turns up the drumbreak dial to 15 for a Boombapped version of a Bay Area Funk/Rock deep cut. Doubles are 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).

Dusty Donuts 011 ft. Jim Sharp

For the first release of the new Dusty Decade, Jim Sharp gets real ‘blunted my brother’(s) and sisters…

The A side sees Jim Rising To The (Top) occasion to give you a super blunted version of this 80s classic that will have any summertime party or bbq on fire !
The flip side sees him falling in love with Mary Jane as Jim adds the perfect amount of the buddha flavor into the mix to make heads bop and bootys shake on the floor.

Dusty Donuts 011 - Mary Jane - Jim Sharp's Buddha Mix

DD012 - All Eyes On Lovin' - Naughty NMX Cali Mix

We've always debated reworking this track because it's such a revered golden era anthem, and we didn't want to ruin a classic! But in the usual Altered Tapes fashion, we've kept true to the original, especially it's bass line and massive drums. The end result is an uptempo breakbeat heater with shades of psychedelic and soul jazz. An instrumental version is also available, as well as a Drumapella DJ tool (if you purchase the whole MAXI SINGLE package).

Even though 17 years have passed since the release of Queen Latifah's "U.N.I.T.Y.", not much has changed in the World. There's still much more work to be done and we'd like to use our voice to contribute when possible. So for our 2020 digital releases, proceeds will be donated to different community-based charities / social programs in Chicago.

Queen Latifah - U.N.I.T.Y. (Altered Tapes Remix)

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!

Altered Tapes - Let the Power Flow

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...
