Summertime (Jim Sharp Mix)

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!

Jorun Bombay - Wanna Be Editin' Something/Give Me The Remix (Pre Order)

In celebration of the upcoming DRE DAY Chicago 10 year anniversary, we dove into the Doctor's catalog, tapping into one his most recognizable songs. 'G-Thang' leans heavily on Leon Haywood's 70s slow burn classic 'I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You,' and we flipped it into a Moombah / Reggae / Breakbeat banger! Enjoy!

Altered Tapes - They Said (An Ode to Chicago)

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)

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!
