Forever Alone (The Kid LAROI x Iann Dior Type Beat)

30 Years ago, Tribe's 'Midnight Marauders' & Wu's 'Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)' were released on Nov. 9, 1993.  For some, a hard decision had to be made that day: Do you go with the conscious vibes of Tribe, or the hard street raps of Wu?  The familiar sound of ATCQ, or the debut from the mysterious guys wearing hoodies with stocking caps covering their faces?  If you were lucky, you walked out of the store with both (paid or not). 

Those 2 albums changed my life, so 5 years ago on the 25th anniversary I created 'A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders' as a tribute to both masterpieces.  This is the 2nd chamber in the Wu x Tribe blendtape saga.  The 1st volume featured Wu's gritty vocals over the jazzy Midnight Marauders instrumentals.  This is the reverse combo - Tribe's bouncy vocals over RZA's grimy production.   
No matter how you combine them, the marriage of the 2 forms like Voltron.  All the parts came together to make something new.  Different, yet the same.  Yin & yang.

me vs the world

November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in hip hop history.  Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day:  Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, &  A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’.  I remember riding my bike to the mall, with money I had earned from my after-school job.  I had anticipated this day for awhile, and saved up in advance to pick up both albums (at that age $40 felt like $500).  For the months that followed, both albums fought for playing time on my boombox.  One moment, I was transported to the boulevard of Linden, and the next to the rugged streets of Shaolin.  Those albums stayed in my rotation forever (literally).
To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders.  I wasn’t sure it would work at first, but as is usually the case, inspiration hit at midnight when I was trying to sleep (the coincidence of the timing is not lost on me).  A couple of hours later, I managed to pair up every single Wu-Tang vocal with a suitable beat from MM.  The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work.  Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics.  The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Tribe’s jazzy production works in an unexpected way.  Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups:   A Clan Called Wu - “Enter The Marauders”.

A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders

Wu-Tang VS A Tribe Called Quest : A Clan Called Wu - Enter The Marauders

Delivering a funk-filled care package to your collection, this is the first in a series of free Birdland releases inspired by the untouchable energy of the London soul scene - whether it’s in the form of groundbreaking jazz to it’s radical disco energy. This release is guaranteed to heat up the floor no matter the setting.

Sadly no SC upload of the A side of this cut due to copyright but on the flip is a heavier cut inspired by the ultra-deep soulful sounds of Chicago house. ‘Up, Into & Involved’ takes a heavy funk gem off Brown’s ‘Jungle Groove’ and reimagines it for a Funktion One driven dance floor in deepest South London. The infectious energy of Brown’s vocals is paired with an unforgiving bass line, delivering a calculated dosage of nu-disco energy. Refined down with a deep groove and phased out sound, this is a cut reserved for the darkest of dancefloors...

Up, Into It & Involved

Back once again with a renegade funk-filled care package, featuring a sunshine filled heater that flips an infectious War sample to get you grooving into Summer. Premiered on Delia Tesileanu’s ‘Counterpoint’ radio show, the latest Birdland release is a selector’s choice cut to
bring the sunshine vibes to any dancefloor...

The incredible sample at the heart of this tune is selected from War’s OST for the 1978 cult classic ‘Youngblood’. Set in South-Central LA, the film follows Michael aka ‘Youngblood’ as
he’s pulled deep into the gang violence of LA. ‘Sing A Happy Song’ was previously flipped by east coast outfit ‘Brand Nubian’ to cult acclaim, but here the sample takes spotlight on a
much deeper cut...

The tune lays out a deep groove from the get go, with War’s infectious vocal taking center stage to allow for maximum funk. Keeping it restrained, the prime sample is saved for an explosive peak point, entrancing the dancefloor in a state of boogie. This is a truly sunshine inspired heavyweight cut to be used with caution, guaranteed to stir up the groove from Detroit to Peckham...

Groove In Your Heart (Only Way To Start)

Kick starting your Summer of self-isolation with an infectious Nu Disco heater, bursting with joy and happiness to lead you through these uncertain times. This is the third of the Birdland releases, following last Summer’s funk filled care packages, with airplay Delia Tesileanu (Wah Wah 45s) on Soho Radio and Tina Edwards on Worldwide FM. Now, disco returns to provide not only light and love to the dancers of the world, but to raise money for those in need during this pandemic.

Cast your minds back to the noughties. A wondrous time for modern culture, birthing low-rise jeans, popped collars and the landmark videogame ‘GTA: Vice City’. Tommy Vercetti cruised the streets of Vice, soundtracked by the silky-smooth tones of Oliver “Ladykiller” Biscuit on Fever 105 FM. Here, I discovered a mesmerizing continuum of 80s grooves including The Whispers’ seminal anthem ‘And The Beat Goes On’. Yet it would take over a decade for me to discover the golden B side to this sensational hit. ‘Can You Do The Boogie’ has a simple message: get to the weekend, forget your cares and do the boogie. There ain’t no holding you down…

This heater channels the spirit of The Whispers’ message, rebirthing their silky vocals and spirit in a sweat-stained basement with no corners and buss buggin’ spiritual outer space voodoo dancing. There ain’t no escaping that groove bursting out the bass bins of your heart and into your soul, sweetened by future funk vibes and rolling kicks. Disco was birthed from hardship and strife, and the crisis of today’s world is no different. Yet Disco carried on undeterred, as will we: happy lovers united by the words of a sun-soaked soul group from a bygone era…

“All I Wanna Do Is Have A Party”

However, to groove is simply not enough. We need to stand by those in need at this time of crisis, as a soulful family with love on our sleeves. During this global pandemic, those who do not have a safe place to call home are forced into a lockdown that places them in immediate danger. Women and children are experiencing domestic abuse, sexual violence, forced marriage, ‘honour based’ abuse, child sexual abuse, FGM and other forms of violence. Therefore, all money raised from this release will be donated to Women’s Aid, a group dedicated “at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic abuse.” Please consider this donation and give what you can.
