Duration: 4 min 28 s
Description: An ode to Chicago(ans). Common, Kanye, & Ahmad Jamal. Uptempo breakbeat-heavy flip of 'They Say' from Common's early 00's classic album 'Be.' With all the extra Altered flavorings you know and love! #keepbouncing

wow been sleeping on this for 4 months, solid gold fellas.

Based on one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Funk groups. Kool & The Gang were a completely different group in the early 70s than they were in the 80s. A Horn heavy, breakbeat laden, Jazz Funk Soul outfit.  Their track "N.T." is probably the closest they came to a wandering, jam band type song, with the entire horn section getting a chance to breathe. With the kicker being the heavily sampled drum break that appears towards the song's end. Dilla flipped this break lovely on Q-Tip's "Breathe and Stop" and this remix cribs a bit from his version and peppers in a healthy dose of those boombastic K&G horns. Enjoy!

Yuki "Ukey" Kanesaka is the keyboardist featured on my lp " On my way " ... he also released a project called "Monolog", a collection of hip hop songs done in his style. Yuki played every instrument on this project as well as getting Ahmad Jamals piano tuner on deck. . Shout to the homie Caserta.

De La Soul - Breakadawn (Altered Tapes Rework)

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.

Do you really want to party?

Back with another dancefloor burner! We kept the vibe of Busta's minimal slow roll classic, but upped the tempo and wrapped it with chunky b-boy drum break for extra bounce. And just for fun, the maxi-single includes an instrumental too! #keepbouncing

Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See (Altered Tapes Remix)

MJ classic flipped De La style... Made this for personal use back in 2014. Now you can grab a wav file from my bandcamp page. Ignore the intro 30 sec silence done for obvious reasons here... For all my vinyl ppl stay tuned for this on 7" release shortly. Shout to De La Soul for the brilliant use of MJ and other elements used on their hit 'Breakadawn' back in '93

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!
