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!

OK-MA-BWOY GAL/Rare Track By DJ Mattew

Classic & sought after Strata East jazz record. Made this edit a few years back, first just the original over the Q-Tip 'One Love' drums aka Parliament drums (Tip produced the Nas joint for those who didn't know :)... then decided to throw Nas acapella over the whole Heath Brothers tune. One for the dinner sets, mixes & radio shows. Wav files of both versions available on my bandcamp. Link below, enjoy!
