The Pharcyde 'Labcabincalifornia' 20th Anniversary Mixtape mixed by Chris Read

The Pharcyde is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their iconic album Labcabincalifornia by releasing a commemorative mixtape. In a collaborative effort, the #BeamMeUpSpinna mixtape is mixed by NYC’s DJ Spinna and features “Nasty Habits”, an unreleased joint from the vault that features Ralph Tresvant & Bobby Brown.  Imani & Bootie Brown also asked a group of producers to remix and add their own personal spin on a few of the Labcabincalifornia songs that you all know and love.

Dj Mike Relm re-works a mash up of “Drop”, SBBX remixes “Groupie Therapy”, Moka Only drops his version of “Y”, Ta'Raach teams up with Bootie Brown to co-produce “Devil Music, The Devils Kitchen Remix”, and The Pharcyde’s own Bootie Brown remixes “Runnin’.”

DJ SPINNA is a heavily touted presence in the international soulful house music scene. He is known for his vast accomplishments as a producer, is celebrated for his “Soul Slam” events and Stevie Wonder inspired  WONDER-Full Dj performances and subsequent collaborations.

The Pharcyde’s sophomore album “LabcabinCalifornia” was originally released on November 14th, 1995. The group enlisted a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats, like the cult classic “Runnin.”  They also collaborated with director Spike Jonze (“Being John Malkovich” “Adaptation”) on the video for “Drop.” Labcabincalifornia has consistently and continues to reinforce their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.

On January 17th, 2016 the original dirty rapper passed away.  His name was Clarence Reid, but he was known moreover around the world as Blowfly.  In tribute to his music and influence, the creators of SHAOLIN JAZZ would like to "Blow One for Clarence".


Here is a link to download the original and clean version of the track: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qiz778a6rc91k0f/BlowOne4Clarence.zip

Blow One for Clarence

It was 25 years ago that De La Soul released their classic sophomore LP 'De La Soul Is Dead', challenging the hippy label that followed the group after the success of their groundbreaking debut '3 Feet High & Rising'. 

To celebrate the anniversary of such a remarkable album, our buddy Chris Read has put together this dope mixtape featuring original sample material, remixes and album cuts. 

Listen up and enjoy!

Mos Def - Ms Fat Booty DJ Spinna Remix

This is a project that I was asked to do I guess sometime in the early 2000's . It was a remix for a Bob James project . the idea was to take an existing piece of work and flip it . So this was my flip . I had Pete Miser come in and do some vocal snippets . I never knew what happened to the project but I did put a lot of work into this mix so I figured I would share it . Enjoy , Prince Paul unreleased series .
