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!

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.

A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum (Jon Kwest Rmx)

"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"

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)

Gave Stevie's 'Master Blaster' a little hiphop touch up...
