Small Town Talk (monk's discreet bump)

**** remastered, reworked Wow 2021 version now up on Bandcamp!
**** https://monk-one.bandcamp.com/album/wow

Made this one sometime in the late '00s, but scrapped it when I heard somebody else use the same 'wowww' sample. Don't remember who it was or what the song was, but I remember thinking they did it better. Forgot about my tune until last night when I came across it lurking on an old hard drive and thought, "ah you know what this ain't bad after all!" Maybe you'll like it too...

cleaned up, bumped up -- all hail the queen!

Monk-One Beats

Stormy Beat

In anticipation of an upcoming 45 reissue of Superlover Cee and Casanova Rud's late80s rap banger "Girls I Got Em Locked," I went back and pulled the acapella off my battered 12-inch single and had a little WWPCD?* fun making this remix.

Got 'Em Locked (Monk's Mix)

Was watching The Irishman and got the impulse to rework one of the great gangster tales of all time.

On The Run (monk's big chain remix)

a quick flip of lynn mariano
//inspired by jeedo+jaydee

feelin good (monk's flip)

Az u can hear, this beat is not unique.
My regards to Lester and Peter...

Not Unique

A rough edit of a tough cumbia.  Pedro Ramayá destroying it!

Cumbia Del Cafe (Monk-One Edit)

rain a fall but the dirt it tuff
pot a cook but the food na nuff

Cost Of Living

Drum breaks off crispy vinyl sound the best.

Mafia Hit

"and now darling... I'm gonna shoot you with my love ray."
If you didn't realize already, I like banging drum breaks sourced from vinyl. Check 1-9er.

the love ray beat

Mme Jaz was, is, and always will be, a real swingin' chick.

Madame Jaz

Great groove from Carla Bley gets a little bump.

Song Sung Long (extra version)

Classic Ernie Hines vocal + classic Pete Rock beat.  A little something for the soulful DJs. 
(big shoutout to Uncle Nu who made the acapella available)

Our Generation (Straightened Out Mix)

One of my early mixtapes.  This was done in 1996 for Fat Beats to sell in the store.  I did it 100% live, which meant that any time I messed up making it I had to go back and start over.  I only had one Technics 1200 at the time, and one crappy belt drive. To my ears now it's full of rough transitions, weird tempo changes, and off beat cuts... But it worked at the time, and was my entré to radio in NYC when G-Man and J-Smooth of the Underground Railroad radio show heard it and invited me up to spin. All original vinyl on a breaks and beats concept.  Hope you enjoy this artifact!

Open Your Mind Mixtape Side 2 1996

ya grab a few records, ya put put bits and pieces together, ya play some piano, ya hook up some drums, ya try to make it sound like something fresh....

Sage Scented

Messing around with a simple beat and threw an acapella on it for flavor.  Ya feel me?

Tried By 12 (Monk-One Remix)

Hidden interlude from NYCT LP Future Shock Vol. 4

Future Shock - Volume 4

Ira (interlude)

I did this quick combo for a party I DJed a while back with DRM of Bastard Jazz, who put out the Lord Echo track.  That original track can be found here:  https://soundcloud.com/bastardjazz/lord-echo-long-time-no-see?in=bastardjazz/sets/lord-echo-7

Juicy (Echo Mix)

Just for fun. Straight out of the MPC2000 into a Mackie board w built in reverb, 2003.

Nautilus (Monk's 03 MPC Flip)

A treat from the vaults... Me, G-man, and Plugs 1 and 2

Tunin' With G

In honor of the first day of Summer.  I always liked Herb Alpert's version of Summertime and Mo Horizons did a nice job of sampling it for their track Bar Rumba.  So I put 'em both together.  Enjoy!
