BIO:

Forging an evolution of the "mashup" album format, producer Amerigo Gazaway's "conceptual collaboration" projects imagine studio sessions between like artist of different genres and eras. With a process the LA Times' Randall Roberts described as "drawing a different design within a similar framework," the producer/DJ deconstructs and re-orchestrates samples from his respective subjects, bridging overlapping themes of the two musician's classic catalogues. Equally influenced by his Brazilian roots and southern U.S. upbringing, the 28 year old Nashville native's work was featured in Apple's "What Will Your Verse Be" series of iPad commercials, called "brilliant" by music’s premier aficionado, Questlove, and earned praise from national/global outlets such as The Guardian, Huffington Post, The LA Times, Vulture, NPR, BBC, MTV, BET, REVOLTtv, EBONY,VIBE, XXL, THE SOURCE, OKAYPLAYER, Wax Poetic, Gizmazo and HipHopXL to name a few. 
 
The son of renowned Jazz trumpeter, Gary “El Buho” Gazaway, Amerigo’s thematic documentary-like concept albums uses found interview sound-bites, live performances, and original multi-track stems to help narrate and craft his combined artists' stories. Finding his first success with 2011's Fela Kuti/De La Soul pairing "Fela Soul," the project went on to land on several year-end "best of" lists including NPR, Soul Train, and OKAYPLAYER. Following the release in 2012 with "Bizarre Tribe: A Quest to the Pharcyde", a concept that layered vocals of The Pharcyde over re-imagined productions sourced from the original Soul, Jazz, and Funk records ATCQ utilized to create their productions, Gazaway would later collaborate with The Pharcyde on their single "Still Got Love" and perform with the legendary group at SXSW.
 
Continuing the theme of his previous work in 2014, the producer united Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (FKA Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled "Yasiin Gaye" (side one and side two.) Building the album’s foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Amerigo re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions with the familiar fervor of the original work. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, Gazaway delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm “mashup” album. Drawing nearly 20,000 downloads in its first two days of release, the “Master Modern Soul Match Maker” (Juan Vidal- Vibe Magazine) earned a perfect “5 Star” review from BET, collaborated with New York Magazine cartoonist, Drew Dernavich, for the project's side two cover art, and landed on Billboard's Best Selling Singles Chart with the album's third single, "You Are Undeniable."
 
Honing his DJ skills through tours of Europe, Brazil, and the U.S., Gazaway’s dancefloor driving live set features classic breakbeats, original blends, remixes, edits, and mashups of multiple genres including Funk, Soul, Disco, Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, and everything in-between. With presentations and lectures logged at USC, MTSU and upcoming dates at Google HQ (NYC) and SXSW 2015, the DJ/Producer continues to highlight the possibilities of sample based art and shows no signs of slowing down.

BLAZE LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

Gyptology Records. Unearthing and restoring old tracks that need to exist now and onwards into the millennia. Another aspect of the Gyptology Records ethos is the pressing to vinyl of tracks that could perhaps be lost if, say, a raging electrical storm sent negative bad vibes juddering backwards, down through miles of cables into all the data storage servers worldwide, causing cataclysmic lethal explosions, rendering them dead... and thus, devoid of music... You could, with a handy alternative power source, rely on your trusty vinyl to keep you groovy...

GYPT001, same great cuts (remastered) in an updated sepia toned version of the original cover art. For those interested, the man himself explains the front cover photograph;

"That's a '72 Fleetwood Brougham Cadillac that my grandfather owned, bought it brand new. Mr. Hence was first class. We called it the bus cause it use to fit the whole basketball team in it lol. They don't make em like that no more. And look at Duke he was a silent killer didn't say a word. He'll let you come inside the gate wait till you get to the door then he was on yo ass. But he was very obedient. Couldn't keep him inside the gate so somebody ended up poisoning him. My boy Duke!"

First release June 2018 GYPT001:
"...Still Comin' Real" by Memphis rapper Shawty Pimp. A quite hard-to-find underground hip-hop cassette from 1995. Now available from Gyptology Records in nice translucent purple shells. Mid 90's was a golden time for hip-hop when there was so much being produced that for one person to listen to everything was impossible. A bit like 1979 was for Disco music.

>>>!AVAILABLE NOW!<<< 
Gyptology Records cassette;
[cat. no:  GYPT001-MC]

Second release GYPT002 is a 7" vinyl version of Shawty Pimp's 2017 digital-only release "Lac Music". This single has an exclusive B-side instrumental that makes buying 2 copies essential for the skratchaz out there. Individually numbered and complete with full-colour sleeve art. Don't kip lad!

Label leader Anubis Le Jackal (long time Luxor resident; known locally as 'THE man of the people') promises plenty more unimaginable golden treasures to come on his new Gyptology imprint, as he attempts to preserve infinitely sound recordings that could be at risk of fading into the mists of time without expedient intervention. These kinds of sound recordings were typically 'of the time' or 'in the moment', and thus never could be re-created with the same 'vibe' or 'verve' as those original captures.

So, sit back, feet up, and
BLAZE LIKE AN EGYPTIAN!

Because THIS is the SHIT!
