would you release a digital version of this? if not a re-release on vynle?

i want to buy this track, how can i do that?

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!

Side B - Name And Number - brings the break back to the break by looking to the inspiration of a classic and reconstructing it, making it fresher than the original. Get it? If not, I'll get back to you.

I Need Help (Serge Gamesbourg  'No Omega'  Rework)

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.

Keep On Truckin' (Paulie's Potown Reflip)/ Eddie Kendricks

Brownout - Fight The Power

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).

Remix of the classic Public Enemy track "Public Enemy No. 1" using Ray Barretto's "Power." Featuring killah kuts from the homie RTST.

This was one of the first tracks I worked on since being under quarantine beginning 3/15/2020. That entire week, I spent an average of 10 hours a day working on music. It was all I could do keep my head up after losing so much due to 'Ronies. I was (and still am!) thankful to have my health, and to have a creative outlet to put these weirds emos into.

The songs that came out this phase are far different than anything I've done before. Not so much in genre or vibe but rather in technique. Having so much time to spare allowed me to dive into production methods that I had previously avoided because of the time it took to learn. This includes playing instruments live instead of relying so heavily on the sample source material.

Also, and possibly, more importantly, were the collaborations that arose from isolation. For whatever reason, I never saw these edits and remixes as something for more than one person to contribute to. But again, given the time and space to really dig into creating, all sorts of possibilities started to present themselves.

So bear witness the newness. Hope you all dig. There are many more to be posted in the coming weeks!
