In celebration of the 20th anniversary of 93 'Til Infinity, Souls of Mischief graciously opened their vaults to give Gummy Soul the exclusive acapellas of their classic album, to remix for the first time ever. 

As the framework of the project, Gummy Soul’s Wally Clark, dug through his extensive record collection, and gathered all of the songs that were sampled to make hip-hop in 1993. Jazz, Funk and Soul songs, used to create classics from Digable Planets, Snoop Dogg and Black Moon, were then re-contextualized to provide familiar, yet updated versions of some of hip-hop’s most beloved material. 

"I wanted to take all of the records that people used back then, and create new compositions using the same techniques they were using – such as filtered bass lines, classic drum breaks, echo-y horns – to make an album that sounds like it could have been released in 1993," says Clark. "It was an amazing exercise trying to capture the essence of a sacred time in hip-hop. It also allowed me to playfully use samples that are normally deemed off-limits, because they are too well known." 

Be on the look out for Soul's of Mischief's new album "There Is Only Now," produced by Adrian Younge, as well as the 93 'Til documentary, featuring Questlove, Mos Def, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock and more.

Gummy Soul - 93 Still - 04 What A Way To Go Out

a quick loop of my favorite track off the new Flying Lotus Mixtape "Ideas+drafts+loops" available for free DL here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6udrmt53tywgmtx/Ideas%2Bdrafts%2Bloops.zip

Original is 1:25. I stretched it just a bit to let the groove ride out, but it's still way too short. So nice. Enjoy and please support the artists.

"This is for all my girls, lost
That was left on the steps
And the mothers that supported their daughters and didn't jet
For the baby girls gloss that she's got in her eyes
Who she reflects in the mirror, she is not in her mind

And for all my girls lost in a world of lust
That place faith in a face on a buck
Don't trust...
But believe a son will become a man
And there's still good brothers around that understand

And for all my girls searching for the man of their dreams,
Just remember that your worth ain't inanimate things
And even though it might seem like it is so far-fetched,
Being broken hearted better than with no heart left."

"Step Up" represents the underdog in a competitive environment. Representing a culture in a place that doesn't at all embrace it is something that is unique to our struggle. This song is about getting knocked down repeatedly and having both the courage and strength to get up, and keep fighting. "Step Up" is about taking control of our own destiny, paying our dues, and making the necessary sacrifices to win. This one is for people with a heart like a Shabazz Napier, and the determination of a Russell Wilson. 


Please support the underdogs. In doing so, you support your own independence and liberation from the tether of Tom Ford fuckery.

Modern Vintage is the new collaboration album from veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of world renown Hip-Hop group Scienz Of Life) and prolific drummer, composer, producer and band-leader Pat Van Dkye (aka PVD). John Robinson and PVD originally met at a show in 2008 and since then their chemistry has grown organically and has developed into the duo performing many formal shows together at venues like SOB’s, Blue Note NYC, LPR and others around the NY-NJ Tristate area. 

Modern Vintage spells out the approach in which this album was made from front to back: The music was composed with a combination of modern technology software mixed with vintage synths and outboard gear, all blended seamlessly with live instrumentation being the foundation. The lyrics and concepts were all spontaneously crafted in the studio, session by session, by letting the soundscapes speak to the lyricist similar to how vintage recordings of the 60’s & 70’s were created. 

“I took a much more structured songwriting approach to the lyrics on this album; my goal from the beginning of making this record was to take advantage of the fact that I am working with PVD- a composer/musician and not just a beat maker/producer, which definitely makes this record different from my other releases. This one is for all the true music lovers worldwide” says John Robinson. 

PVD states “making this record was a dream come true. From the very first session, we set out to craft quality songs that capture a cohesive vibe and feel good. In many cases, JR was writing to merely a sketch of what actually ended up on the record. It felt great to work with an artist who trusted me enough to lend his talents to the music not knowing where I would take it sonically. Live drums, keys, guitars, horns, and synths give this record a distinctly human feel that is present in all of my favorite records, old and new. A modern-day true Hip-Hop record, grounded firmly in the traditions of jazz, funk, and soul music.”

John Robinson & PVD’s Modern Vintage is now transmitting live to the world; catch the vibes on June 17th, 2014 via Brick Records.
