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!

Eric B & Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique (Altered Tapes Rework)

The 11th entry into the Heat Rock catalog includes a pair of funky, breakbeat-heavy, Native Tongues family remixes. The A-side features a horn-laden remix from Trew (Altered Tapes / Chicago) that simultaneously flips a Funk and Hip-Hop classic. While on the B-side, Double A (Montreal) takes a Digger's favorite and turns up the drumbreak dial to 15 for a Boombapped version of a Bay Area Funk/Rock deep cut. Doubles are recommended!

The artwork for this series was designed by talented Mike2600 of BRLSQ, and inspired by vintage 7inch factory sleeve designs. The limited edition 45s include custom cover art and colored vinyl. (A black wax version with a different label color scheme will be available mid-August).

Double A - Can You Hear Me Now? (The Source Is Yours Edit)

The 12th entry into the Heat Rock catalog is almost here and we’re taking a trip to the Equator! Just In time for Summer, the tropical vibes abound on this release. Featuring a dancehall-flavored flip of a Brand Nubian frontman classic on the A-side (by the Texas-based DJ & Producer Nick Nack - who also makes his Heat Rock debut on this 45!), while the B-side boasts a drum-heavy Altered Tapes Brazilian / Bossa / B-Boy remix of one our favorite Dilla productions. Doubles are recommended!

Wanna Stay

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.

Aretha - One Step (Featurecast Re-Edit)

Do you really want to party?

Back with another dancefloor burner! We kept the vibe of Busta's minimal slow roll classic, but upped the tempo and wrapped it with chunky b-boy drum break for extra bounce. And just for fun, the maxi-single includes an instrumental too! #keepbouncing
