djblesOne - Them Team Theme

The gritty funkafication of the golden era continues. This week we’ve blended Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s iconic soul-jazz masterpiece, “They Reminisce Over You” with the wigged-out psychedelia of Lefties’ “Sling Shot Part 2”. Highly recommended for fans of funky B3 organ riffs.

Pete Rock, CL Smooth & Lefties Soul Connection - They Reminisce Over Sling Shot (Steely Chan Blend)

Tim Dog is best known for “Fuck Compton”, one of the top diss tracks of all time and catalyst for the infamous West Coast/East Coast rivalry in hip hop. However, we always thought of him as bringing the hardcore element to the Ultramagnetic MCs. This week we’re giving his anthem, “Bronx Nigga”, a fresh take by blending it with Lefties’ “Fais Do Do”. This also concludes our mix project featuring the raw funk rhythms of Lefties Soul Connection with golden era hip hop. 

If you’re digging the sounds from this series, go check out Lefties’ new album, “One Punch Pete”, available now! We have a feeling music from this record will be appearing in a bootleg mix sometime in the new year ;-)

Finally, stay tuned as we close out the year  - and kick off 2012 - with a brand new mix series.

“When the East is in the house [Jeru] Oh My god [Q-Tip] Danger! [ODB]” Blahzay Blahzay’s classic hook was an anthem which united East Coast headz in the mid-90s hip hop coastal rivalry. This week we adopt the role of peacemaker as we combine Blahzay Blahzay”Danger” with the instrumental funk of LA’s Breakestra. We hope you enjoy the sonic fruits of our nonpartisan, hip hop reunification effort.

Blahzay Blahzay “Danger (Remix)” (Danger 12” | 1996 | Mercury Records)
Breakestra “Family Rap (Instrumental)” (Family Rap 12” | 2005 | Ubiquity Records)

Blahzay Blahzay & Breakestra - Danger Family (Steely Chan's Blender Mash)

What tribute to the golden era of hip hop would be complete without some straight up battle rhymes? To that end we’re shining this week’s spotlight on Roxanne Shante who was involved in two of the most memorable battles of all time: the Roxanne Wars and The Bridge Wars (Juice Crew vs. Boogie Down Productions). “Big Mama” is a non-stop barrage of dope punchlines aimed at rival female MCs - classic! We fused Shante’s irascible battle rhymes with the raw, heavy funk grooves of UK multi-instrumentalist and producer Adam Gibbons (aka Lack Of Afro). This joint will have your head nodding and fingers snapping. Enjoy!

We had a great response to our last Biggie mix so we moved Big Poppa to the front of the line for an encore performance. This time we’re spotlighting “Party and Bullshit”, his debut single off the soundtrack to the comedy film, Who’s The Man? We’ve paired his distinctive flow with “Calling The Shots”; a hard funk groove with tough afrobeat horns courtesy of German ensemble, The Mighty Mocambos. Enjoy!

Note: We’re going to be working on other music projects for awhile so the funk mixes will be coming out less frequently; hopefully bi-weekly instead of our frenetic weekly pace. Thanks for the continued support and encouragement! It definitely makes a difference ;-)

Biggie Smalls & The Mighty Mocambos - Calling Party & Bullshit (Steely Chan's Blender Mash)

Summer is over, the kids are back in school and we’re back on the grind...sorta ;-) This week we’ve combined Gang Starr’s classic, anthemic posse cut, “DWYCK” with “In the Bamboo Grove”, an epic instrumental jam by Australian funk outfit, The Bamboos. The grooves switch up quickly and furiously with this one; we think it’ll appeal to headphone rockers with short attention spans. Enjoy!

The Bamboos  “In The Bamboo Grove” (Step It Up | 2006 | Tru Thoughts)
