Children's Story (Rhythm Scholar 70s True Crime Streetmix)

I needed to get a remix done to get me back into the groove of beat making and this was the result, as usual I have offered an unmastered and roughly mixed version. If any one would like to mix/master it let me know and I will get you the session. I as you might have guessed with the Rakim v's KRS mix have been a long time fan of Rakim, and as such have normally steered away from remixing his work, but when this beat came together and I put the acapella over it I knew this would be something for the B-Boys!

Showbiz & AG - Soul Clap (Altered Tapes Rework)

Download here: https://amerigo.bandcamp.com/album/the-big-payback-vol-3-j-b-the-soul-mates

1. Bob Brown = James Brown x Bob Marley
2. Busta Brown = James Brown x Busta Rhymes
3. The Notorious J.B.'s = James Brown x The Notorious B.I.G.
4. Mobb Brown = James Brown x Mobb Deep 
5. Fela Brown = James Brown x Fela Kuti (feat Jeru The Damaja)
6. Jackson Brown - James Brown x Michael Jackson
7. The Illmatics = Nas x The Dramatics (feat. James Brown)

This time around, Amerigo takes on James Brown in The Big Payback Vol lll. In the third and latest offering from "The Big Payback" summer mix series, the producer follows the exceptionally awesome first and second volumes from the legendary DJ Scratch and master craftsman, J. Period.  

Bringing together a fantasy league of all-stars for his "J.B. and The Soul Mates" tribute concept, the producer's latest offers an alternative to the sometimes uninspired, profit-driven, posthumously released albums. 

With guest appearances from Bob Marley, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fela Kuti, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and more, Amerigo pays tribute to the God Father of Soul with a re-imagined set of co-conspirators.

"I'm not sure any other artist has left their imprint on popular music, especially across so many genres, as much as James Brown has.  With as many of today's hit songs that were built around some sort of James Brown flip, it's almost like he had a say in what the music of future generations would sound like without even knowing it."

https://soundcloud.com/decades

I grew up in a house where instead of watching television we would sit around as a family and listen to my dad play records. As a very serious collector he would often take me to record fairs from the age of about 8 years old. You could say an apple never falls far from the tree, except where my father sought out obscure 60's british rock, I seek out good quality music from musicians that played from the heart, be they jazz, soul, reggae, afro, folk or what ever.
I started djing locally in the early 90's in clubs, then progressed to entering and placing in various competitions including DMC and ITF. In around 2001 I started taking the whole dj/record collecting thing a little more seriously which saw me djing in many places around Australia and digging for records all over the world. I have shared stages and warmed up with every one from Gangstarr, MOP, Raekwon, Cut Chemist, P.U.T.S, Short Kut, De La Soul, Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, Roc Raida, Rhettmatic, Babu, Dilated Junkies, Dj Krush, Rip One,The Alkaholiks and Lyrics Born through to leading Aussie acts like The Hilltop Hoods,Delta, M-Phazes and Koolism.
Since 2002 I have also started making my own music which has included a long standing association with 7 piece jazz fusion band Sukatash, and the up coming Decades release on CH records. Also check my blog for exclusive funk/soul/hip hop edits.
Some of the mixes I make are recorded straight from the mixer into a tape deck, some are recorded and multi tracked, some are made to make people dance, some are made to make people think, but all are made for every one who has a genuine love of music to enjoy.

Floor Wax (dL Edit)

Smoove – Main Sourced
Wack Records - W17

25 years has passed since Main Source created Breaking Atoms, one of the most influential Hip Hop albums of all time. 
To celebrate this occasion Smoove has crafted a detailed tribute cut and paste mix by meticulously sourcing the samples originally used to create the album. 
Such a mean feat seemed like the impossible but after three months locked away in the studio, Smoove has delivered a full eight minutes and thirty seconds of organized madness!

Sit back and enjoy the ride… Main Sourced

 7” vinyl and digital release: June 2017 Digital version http://www.junodownload.com/products/smoove-main-sourced/3414128-02/

Smoove - Main Sourced Parts 1 & 2

An old edit I have found myself playing again recently. This track is the epitome of BBoy funk for me, hard hitting drums, really soulful vocal and big old horns!!!

Cramp Your Style (dL BBoy edit)

With our latest Soul Mates Project release, fittingly titled "A Common Wonder," Amerigo Gazaway brings to life an imagined studio session between Chicago's crowned prince of Hip-Hop, Common, and Motown legend, Stevie Wonder.

A return to the Soul meets Hip-Hop formula of his Marvin Gaye + Mos Def pairing “Yasiin Gaye,” Gazaway connects the dots between Hip-Hop and the genre’s predecessor with a musical history lesson told through the intersecting themes of Common and Stevie’s respective catalogues. As Gazaway put it:

“Stevie Wonder’s early use of synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers, in a lot of ways, paved the way for hip-hop and sampling. Part of my motivation for this project was to highlight those contributions”

Picking up where Common and Stevie’s 2016 “Black America Again,” single left off, Amerigo brings his imagined recording session to life with a slew of uncovered resources (including multitrack instrument stems, interview audio, and documentary soundbites.) Re-orchestrating deconstructed samples, the producer interweaves Common’s vivid wordplay and Wonder’s passionate vocals for a project that blurs the line between a “mashup” and a modern day duets album.
