ProbCause links with fellow Chicago artist Chance The Rapper to drop "LSD," off the upcoming Recipe Volume 2 which is scheduled to drop July 16th!


LSD came together several months ago when the Beijing based electronic group Pet Conspiracy reached out to producer Drew Mantia to do a remix of of one of their original songs.  Drew reached out to ProbCause to record over the remix, and during the recording session for "Three Course Meal" featuring Action Bronson and Chance the Rapper, Chance liked the record so much he layed his verse on the spot.

Taken from the Long Player "On My Way"

About 

What leads an individual to walk the often obsessive path of the crate digger? Raiding filthy basements and accumulating back-breaking stacks of wax on a tantalising search for the unearthed groove, Kon cites early exposure as the source of his calling: "One of the first physical records I fell in love with was Electric Light Orchestra's El Dorado. The music on that LP is incredible, climatic strings, and full of amazing songwriting. To digest and absorb music with such depth is the best thing for a 4 year old. Get 'em going young! I know this is part of the reason why later in life I searched further than what was just on the radio."

This search began in a city with a thriving live music scene and a small, significant but overlooked nest of remarkable DJ and b-boy talent: the esteemed Floor Lords crew represented through the 80s, the team behind the notorious Dope Jams record store cut their teeth in the 90s, and, today, the globetrotting Soul Clap duo call Boston home.

Kon's father was a drummer, and his love of the break not only inspired the quest for the funkiest rarities that birthed the iconic On Track and Off Track compilations, but also informed his approach to the edit. Check the 'Nite Time Remix' of 'Hooked' as the perfect introduction to his style: breaking things down to the bare essentials, the rhythm section takes on a life of its own in what has fast become the definitive version of an already classic disco workout. Kon's output has given new life to this art form, and on the road to mastery he studied the golden touch of editing and remix masters Walter Gibbons and BBE label-mate John Morales.

The natural next step for this beat-juggling heavyweight was a return to the  crafting of his own original productions. Bringing together a close-knit team of musician friends, Kon has revived a longstanding partnership with BBE and recorded his debut album titled On My Way. Kon's first productions were committed to tape in the early 90s when he a formed a rap group called Mikst Nutz. Their demo was given heavy rotation by DJs Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito, and, in 1992, Jive Records came close to signing the project. 

Since then, his sound has evolved with the musical influences he's absorbed during the last two decades of his crate digging career. The one constant throughout the eight tracks that comprise On My Way though is the funk, a term Kon breaks down with his trademark wit: “Funk. A word often used for many different things. There are more terms that can get confusing too, like boogie, modern soul and disco. I don't know what they mean, really. I just know that I either like it or I don't. I guess we need these words to define sounds and genres though. Some would even argue that P-funk just isn't funk. Even if you think it's not funk, it's still funky. Sheeeeeeet... what would Dr. Dre, Snoop and The Chronic be without it? Exactly!”

Upon this bed of funk-laced rhythms straddling house, disco and boogie drift the soulful keys of Yuki Kanesaka, a friend who was first introduced to Kon via Boston's aforementioned Floor Lords crew. “I was told I needed to link with this amazing player and Yuki is brilliant. He comes from a DJ background, so not only can he play, but he 'gets it' as well. The chops are there, and working with him is a breeze because I can reference a style of playing, or specific sound and era, and he knows exactly what I mean.” 

We are also treated to the unmistakeable vocals of UK talent Ben Westbeech, who Kon first met at the Southport Weekender. “I was with Amir leaving to catch the car service back to our hotel when I heard a guy yelling our names. Turns out it was Ben, and I had no idea he knew about our On Track compilations. And in turn he seemed to be shocked that I knew who he was! I've always liked Ben's work and I was staying in London with him when we first cut this tune. It was originally recorded to a totally different track that was all samples.”

The musical arrangement of On My Way reflects a deep understanding of dance floor dynamics, and Kon honed his craft as a DJ playing at house parties in the 80s, coming from a party rock background where all styles were thrown into the mix. He remembers looking up to Boston radio jocks like DJ Jesse McGee and DJ T-Clark, while records like Cash Money & Marvellous' Ugly People Be Quiet influenced his technical craft: “They contained scratches that were ahead of their time. I really didn't have any mentors, except for these records and the mixes those guys would do on the radio.”

Kon's love for wax is for life, but he has little time for those passing judgement on a selector's format of choice: “It’s a DJ’s skill set and taste that matters. Music is meant to be shared and spread to as many as possible. Who cares what medium I choose to play my music from? We are messengers, period. Nobody owns the sounds that are blasting out of the speakers except the actual musicians. You may own the little piece of plastic it’s recorded onto, but that’s it. Fools need to stop trippin’. I’m not caught up in the hype. I still buy vinyl and I know it’s the coolest medium to store music on. Nothing can beat it. The feel, the smell, the labels and so on, but I can’t take vinyl with me when I die. Now the sounds that have fed and nourished my soul, I take with me everywhere I go. I can take them with me to the grave, or where ever I end up when my physical shell can no longer take it. The music itself is staying with me forever.”

In On My Way, a rich cultural heritage has been distilled into an upfront album of burning dance floor action, showing us why the BBE-crowned 'King of Digging' has for so long remained a formidable, worldwide musical icon.

The Story
Russ gets shxtfaced one night with the homies, gets home and Pusha’s ‘Numbers’ video premiere is staring him dead in his face. His computer monitor aglow with Push’s mug against open backgrounds, it calls to him – “Flip my new shxt." He'd been in love with the joint since the mp3 dropped, he decides to touch Push’s brand new video while intoxicated.

4 hours later he writes Bronze an E-mail during a half-sobered moment:
“quick question – i love that new Pusha T / Kanye x Cannon – Numbers track …out of interest, how easy is it for you & Book to remix a track like that for the sake of a new video flip? i haven’t found an acapella for you just yet… but you think Kanye will be pissed if we make Pusha’s video better… ?”

Russ tells Bronze he’s gotta tie one on in the studio to get on his creative level and keep it moving... nah, Haha, that parts bs. But the rest was history.

The Facts

Push murk’d the shxt out Cannon’s soon-to-be-classic flip, so we all HAD to put our spin on this great song – with the Book & Bronze stamp.

Relax, everyone is doing it. But without an acapella? We even put out the bat signal looking for one.

An honest homage to these great artists continuing to inspire us.

We’ve learned our lesson, every camp for themselves, no?

If this disposable art has taught us anything, it’s to make something out of everything.

…bcus the whole shxt was begging to be jacked and flipped.

You inspired yet? By all means, fxck with this video & download pack, like we did the original. We’re making this easy for you – sharing is caring."

Peace & Thanks to Push, Don Cannon, Kanye and So Me for truly inspiring us. Shouts to GOOD just bcus.

We’re fans.

Forever a wildcat and wild card, Los Angeles’ bassist/songwriter/vocalist Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, is impossible to tame artistically. A true master of his craft, he can be found playing bass with Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Suicidal Tendencies, in the same breath as performing live with the likes of Stanley Clarke, Snoop Dogg or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His 2011 solo debut (The Golden Age of Apocalypse, co-produced by Flying Lotus) created an equally genre-blurring enigma of indie rock and jazz, with a touch of electronica.

On his second album, Apocalypse, Thundercat pairs up with executive producer Flying Lotus to pull the veil back and reveal the simple truths of the cycle of life, for all its beauty and destruction. An album about loss and rebuilding, trying to gain something back, and capturing that moment of clarity where one finally finds feet back on the ground again. Bringing a fusion of pop, soul, electronica, prog rock and funk into an unexplored dimension, the album slowly descends and tunnels to the core of what it takes to grasp peace, at a time that it seems most far.

From the deep, rumbling entrance of ‘Tenfold,’ each of the 12 tracks coalesce with Thundercat’s signature bass, his riffs and basslines gliding sky high to meet Fly Lo’s astral touch. Bruner’s vocals and harmonies also soar with open honesty, rising above heartbreak with uplifting odes to love and companionship (‘Tron Song’) and wise mantras to live by (‘Special Stage’). The album plays as a comedy and tragedy at the same time, delicately addressing tracks like ‘We’ll Die’ while bringing the all-out cosmic funk of the anthemic ‘Oh Sheit, it’s X.’

As heavy as the lyrical weight may be, the divine musicality of Flying Lotus, and Thundercat’s instrumental collaborations, brings light. Navigating dense rhythms and intense harmonic progressions, the LP pushes through the hypnotic strands of ‘The Life Aquatic,’ the analogue explorations of ‘Lotus & The Jondy’ (recorded in Adrian Younge’s studio with drummer Thomas Pridgen), and Thundercat and Lotus’ prog rock jam ‘Seven,’ a spontaneous improv recording that organically materialized in less than an hour. It’s no wonder the kindred pair often refer to their freeform sessions as “going to space.” Continually pushing tracks to their furthest point, they take the listener to another place completely – somewhere beyond time, a place that transcends this realm. As the aforementioned track ‘Seven’ (named for its challenging time signature) asks, “Can you hear the sounds of infinity?”
