This is the remix of DXA's "All the MC's" off of their self titled EP released January 2013, produced by Queens' MC/Producer Too Deep.  Too Deep switched up the vibe on this track, breathing new life into a timeless classic.  He not only sampled from vinyl but also jazz pianist  Sam CD who performed the second half of the songs instrumental paying homage to one of Hip Hop's classic songs, "2000 seasons and Fortified Live" origianlly produced by Hi-Tek.  This is a remix DXA is proud to promote.  Whose next?

DXA - All The Mc's Too Deep Remix

Das Efx - Real Hip Hop (Dj Drinks Remix)

Artist: Andy Cooper
Title: Bring It To Me/Do The Charlie Brown
Format: Limited 7" Vinyl 
Cat No SWR007
Pre Order Link: http://soundweightrecords.bigcartel.com/

Andy Cooper gas been a member of Underground Hip-Hop mainstay Ugly Duckling since 1993, performing in more than thirty countries while co-producing and arranging critically acclaimed albums like ‘Journey To Anywhere’ and hit songs ‘A Little Samba’ and ‘Turn It Up’.

1. ‘BRING IT TO ME’

Secretly, I’ve always wanted to record a horribly viscous battle-rap in the tradition of Rakim’s ‘Lyrics of Fury’, Kool G. Rap’s ‘Poison’ or Big Daddy Kane’s ‘Set it off’. Being a member of a fairly happy band like Ugly Duckling, my opportunities to scorch the mic with vocal acid were few and far between so, for years, I’d been stockpiling violent metaphors and grizzly similes which I unleashed on ‘Bring it to Me’. To give this track the appropriate intensity, I hooked up a healthy dose of James Brown and dug through my vinyl stash to procure all kinds of explosive hits, breaks, fills and scratches to back my assault. By the time this tune fades out, I’ve commanded armies, dropped incendiary bombs and assassinated world leaders before pulling the plug on my competition!

2. ‘DO THE CHARLIE BROWN’

A while back, Young Einstein and I produced a track that we never used for U.D. so, with Rodney’s permission, I got out my tools and reworked the old instrumental until it became an upbeat homage to my favorite ‘Blockhead’. For whatever reason, I’ve always loved the way ‘Peanuts’ cartoonists animated the kids dancing at various holiday events so, on ‘Do the Charlie Brown’, I was inspired to give them a new groove for their next TV special; I can’t wait to hear Schroeder’s take on this number! My wife Tina helped with the chorus which was nice because, being that the EP is free, I couldn’t really afford to hire background vocalists. Big shout out to my man Vince Guaraldi!

Artist : The Summit (Dj Drinks)
Title : Nocturnes
Cat No : SWR008
Format : 12" Vinyl 
Artwork : Mr Krum
Pre Order Available From : https://soundweightrecords.bigcartel.com 

Another benchmark for Hip Hop as Soundweight Records hook up with The Summit for another irrefutable classic release in 2016.
After a number of collaborative releases with various underground artists such as Cappo, Lewis Parker & Melanin 9,an instrumental album naturally followed.
With soundscapes profoundly rooted in arguably Hip Hop’s most respected era (90’s),  Nocturnes takes the listener on a soulful voyage to another time and place with its smooth boombap production, seasoned with grain and vinyl static.
Nocturnes brings you a live instrumental edge to the 90’s grassroots sound, allowing the listener to sit back and reflect. Eerie jazzy loops along with soft hi hats sit nicely over technical drum patterns reminiscent of Godfather Don & Lord Finesse. 
Each track depicts a landscape of the mood; so eloquently composed to be viewed by the listener.  
With striking visual art by Mr. Krum, this release would have no problem fitting neatly in a true hip hop heads vinyl collection, as well as falling in the category of recommended listening for all hip hop connoisseurs, young and old.

Enjoy.
