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!

HYPNOTIZING

Follow The Leader (Southgate Mix)

Devil's Jam (D'Angelo Vs. ATCQ)/ Paulie's Blend

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. 


Breakin My Heart (Jim Sharp Edit)

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).
