The Cannabinoids, The Beat Tape VOL.1

Sarah Jaffe - Glorified High (Cannabinoids Remix)

"Glorified High," the first single off Sarah Jaffe's  sophomore album, The Body Wins, is an electronic-tinged gem in its own right. So when fellow Texans The Cannabinoids remixed the track, they actually put a slower, stonier (no pun intended) spin on it. 

Conceived by Erykah Badu, the hip-hop/soul collective comprises nine members, each with his or her own special gift to offer. Together, the group smoothed out the orignal's rough edges, creating a fluid, spacey rework while maintaining the song's original appeal.

"Working with Sarah on this remix was a real honor," The Cannabinoids' PicnicTyme admitted. "I saw her perform for the first time somewhere around 2006 in Denton, TX. She was just as inspiring then as much as she is now. After all these years, it was an amazing experience to get to worth with the Cannabinoids and Sarah on this dope remix."

Jaffe shares a mutual excitement about the project, saying, "I was thrilled and honored to say the least when Cannabinoids made this remix. I met PicnicTyme through a mutual friend, Astronautilis, years back and was a big fan ever since. He's done so much for the Dallas music scene and I have the utmost respect for him and The Cannabinoids."

The Cannabinoids, The Beat Tape VOL.2

THE CANNABINOIDS present
{welcome to the human brain… and the science of addiction}

8 laptops, 3 turntables, 6 keyboards, 4 drum machines, a Theremin, live onstage production
The Cannabinoids represent a musical exploration of the science of addiction. It's the sensational reaction created when the synthetic combines with the organic, and The Cannabinoids are the receptors that bind the experience. The project was originally conceived when Erykah Badu sought to manifest live musical improvisation utilizing the tools of studio tracking and hip-hop production. 

Inspired by her cosmic collaborations for her award-winning New Amerykah, Part I album release in 2008, Erykah reached out to musicians, DJs, and beatsmiths from her hometown of Dallas, Texas, whom she felt would be able to vibe with the concept. The musical concept was improvisation, and has developed into a live “remix” set. The ideological concept was akin to the studies done on cannabinoid receptors, which identified specific proteins present in the brain that are responsible for the euphoric effects of cannabis. 

With each member of the group assigned a specific cannabinoid (musical role), the receptors proceed to serve as a catalyst to inspire creation in each other, and to collectively create a psychedelic, live hip-hop experience for the audience.
