De La Soul - Breakadawn (Altered Tapes Rework)

Your boys are back with a vengeance. Hopefully y'all kept bouncing. After a big ol' pause in our drop schedule we've cooked up another dancefloor blazer  :) On this homage to ATCQ, Dilla, Can, and The Maestro, we connected with the one King Most for an up-tempo flip of Q-Tip's sole Top 40 hit.

Betray My Heart - Dick's Beat Market Remix

"High Output is an inside joke we have from a trip to Manila with our good friends from Do-Over Jamie and Chris.  The project itself is a collaboration between two friends from different horizons but with a same vision.  We’ve been playing together in many different cities around the world and we have a lot of friends in common all over the planet, it was just a matter of time before we’d put out something together, just because we thought it would be fun to do.  Our mix contains unexpected music, rare grooves and unreleased material…and we hope you’ll appreciate the effort and the music we put into this mix.  If you own the 7” as well, you have two previously unreleased productions in your hands and I really hope you got the shirt as well, if not, you’ve been ripped off, haha!" - LEFTO

LEFTO
As one the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer, and af- filiated with labels Brownswood, Blue Note, !K7 Records, Stones Throw and Jazzy Sport, this bearded early riser is consistently a couple steps ahead of your average early adopter. He doesn’t wait for the next thing to land on his lap, actively seeking it out - just take a peek at his playl- ists on Belgium’s foremost national radio station Studio Brussel which received compliments from Rough Trade Shops and Gilles Peterson.

JROCC
One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-’80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles. In addition to numerous mix- tapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib’s live shows since the early 2000’s, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group’s live events, and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla.

Side B: J.Rocc "Thinking in Brasil"

Jorun Bombay;s Summer Breeze Remix of Mary J's "Real Love"

Jorun Bombay & Mary J Blige - Real Love (Jorun's Summer Breeze Remix)

Dusty Donuts 008 ft. Jim Sharp, Naughty NMX & Runex

Side A - Breakin’ My Heart (Jim Sharp Edit)
Side B - Check Minnie's Love - (Naughty NMX & Runex Brexit Mix)

On “Breakin’ My Heart”, Jim Sharp finds a way to bridge the summery goodness of ATCQ with the original instrumentation sampled by Dilla. The iconic vocal lead of Bebel Gilberto floats over the boom bap drums to make it a sure shot. The flip side, “Check Minnie's Love” once again shows that Naughty NMX and Runex are on point. The product is horns, beefed up beats, fat bass and silky smooth vocals to make you think it’s ’92 again (without the Rhime). Minnie rips the lovely 
vocals into a dance floor banger. 


Check Minnie's Love  (Naughty NMX & Runex Brexit Mix)

Breakin My Heart (Jim Sharp Edit)

For the 5th entry into the Heat Rock catalog, we're excited to present a double sider featuring two AfroLatin-influenced, Native Tongue family remixes! Includes King Most's (SF) "Rhythm Rug" edit with it's homage to the Kings of American and African Funk. And on the flip, Altered Tapes' (CHI) entry takes a classic De La sample into an Arabesque Dancehall territory with a heavy dose of breakbeats. Cop doubles, your crates will thank you!

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...
