swing me like a hip hop  song

A debut single that is a monster and masterful mix of Afro‐funk meets Balkan brass, and with a dash of hip‐hop simmering in the flow.  The a‐side Monmouth is a driving original with razor sharp horns and a rumbling sousaphone bassline, while the flipside is an instrumental brass‐infused cover of Dr. Dre’s Next Episode.  Guaranteed to get bodies moving and to get dancefloors sweaty, consider this 45 to be fresh ammunition for your record box.   

Release date: April 20/2015

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

In 1999, the duo of DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice formed in Atlanta. Squashy Nice is an accomplished beats producer, and DJ T-Rock is a scratch-master responsible for battle records on the likes of Bomb Hip-Hop Records, Stereo-Type, and Replicant Music Trading Corp. Together they released three party-ready instrumental hip hop albums for New Zealand’s Why Records label. Now based from coast-to-coast (Squashy Nice in New York and DJ T-Rock in Los Angeles), the duo has joined the Cold Busted family for their fourth album, the satisfying seventeen track Back To The Essence.

Showcasing the variety and breadth that Squashy Nice’s beats and samples and DJ T-Rock’s scratches can provide, the tracks on Back To The Essence swerve from party rockers to soulful, thoughtful numbers featuring vocals from New Zealand vocalist Miss Glue. Among the standouts are the opening “Hit The Breaks”, combining harmonica, ’60s style fuzz guitar, heavy beats, and some crucial vocal scratches; “Let Them Be”, with Miss Glue’s lovely vocals providing a counterpoint to acoustic guitar cut-ups; and “Watch The Clouds”, featuring gentle piano, a loungey string section breakdown, and wistful vocals from Squashy Nice. Back To The Essence should be ingested whole, as its plentiful tracks radiate fun, funk, and good vibes. It’s like a virtual block party dropping down wherever its cuts are playing.

Frank / All Good Funk Alliance (Super Hi-Fi) – “Well rounded, excellent production, unique tunes and strong breaks.  Great!”  
Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s) – “Some lovely moments on here.”  
Shantisan (Salted Soul) – “I love these crispy beats.”  
Apostolos Argyris (The Zuzu Club) – “This was really unexpected.  A great surprise.”  
Azaxx (Tru Thoughts)  - “Hit The Breaks is a BOMB!”  
Brandon Bass (Hub City Music Group) – “They Own Your Soul feat. Miss Glue = the HOTNESS!”  
Trotter (Royal Soul Records) – “Love it!  Great feeling on the tunes, I deeply recommend this.”  
Aja Allsop (Ketch A Vibe Radio Show) – “An all around very cool album.  Digging Miss Glue’s vocals on Let Them Be.”  
SimonG (Volcano Radio) – “Yummy scrummy.  Cold Busted have magic in dem bones!”  
Clairvo (Tilos Radio FM 90.3) – “Wow!  Can’t find words.  Album of the year so far!”  
DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show – Perth) – “Cold Busted keep bringing the heat, and this release is crazy hot!  Not one weak track on here.”

FRENCH DELIVERY

10th anniversary vinyl reissue available here: https://www.bbemusic.com/downloads/dirty-old-hip-hop/
Originally released in March 2006 and virtually impossible to procure on vinyl ever since, BBE are excited to announce a special ten year anniversary edition of the classic Visioneers album Dirty Old Hip Hop. Brainchild of 4hero and Reinforced Records founder Marc Mac, the Visioneers project first appeared on a series of limited edition 7” vinyl releases. Marc began re-imagining his favourite hip hop beats from the golden era, retaining the feel of those extended, looping grooves whilst also re-introducing the excitement and musicianship of the records from which they were sampled: ‘Dirty Old Hip Hop’ was born. Drawing on the musical talents of Somatik and drummer Luke Parkhouse, both regulars on the 4hero sessions, this largely instrumental album also featured stunning performances from rappers Capitol A and Voice. An artist who was introduced to jazz music by his favourite hip hop beat-makers, ‘Dirty Old Hip Hop’ serves as a loving tribute to both art-forms, weaving the two together until even the most ardent purist will find it hard to define any space between. Dirty Old Hip Hop was shortlisted for Gilles Peterson‘s coveted Worldwide album of the Year award in 2006.

“Visioneers is not a band, it’s a studio project. I want to pay respect to hip hop producers like Jazzy Jeff, Jay Dee and Pete Rock for introducing me to Jazz and I needed to produce the tracks like hip hop records that sound phat in a club and not like dinner Jazz; it’s about reclaiming Jazz.” – Marc Mac, 2006
