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!

SoulChef - Gwaan (Feat. Reach)

We've always debated reworking this track because it's such a revered golden era anthem, and we didn't want to ruin a classic! But in the usual Altered Tapes fashion, we've kept true to the original, especially it's bass line and massive drums. The end result is an uptempo breakbeat heater with shades of psychedelic and soul jazz. An instrumental version is also available, as well as a Drumapella DJ tool (if you purchase the whole MAXI SINGLE package).

The thrill is gone... But I know you got Soul (BB King Vs Eric B. and Rakim)

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!

SMILING BILLY SUITE - SERGE GAMESBOURG 'ONE LOVE' EDIT

DJ/PRODUCER/RECORD DEALER

FULL BIOGRAPHY:
With a love for DJing that began in grade school when using two tape decks to spin basement parties, TREW’s main aim is to weave a common thread through seemingly disparate genres. Drawing inspiration from the early 1980s NYC art/music world, he believes no genre is off limits, no collaboration too outlandish. Honing his chops East Cost Rave & Hip-Hop scenes (Baltimore/DC), it was Chicago’s wealth of musical and architectural history that pulled him westward. “Like most kids back then, I thought ‘Percolator’ was a Baltimore Club track. Once I found out the truth I knew this is where I was meant to be!” he exclaims. Soon after, he quit his corporate job, cashed in the 401k, and invested his life into music.

Since landing in the Windy City, TREW has performed or held residencies all across Chicagoland.  Played stages at West Fest, Spring Awakening, Do Division, Taste of Randolph, and North Coast Music Festival. And he has been lucky enough to perform with artists like Snoop Dogg, Mayer Hawthorne, People Under The Stairs, Keys N Krates, Nightmares On Wax, Mint Condition, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Jeremiah Jae, Bobbito, House of Pain, Van Hunt, Jneiro Jarel, Devin the Dude, Bonobo, Cut Chemist, Quantic, Currensy, Afrika Bambaataa, MF Doom, Mos Def, and dozens more.

While not DJing he co-owns Ground Lift Media - a  digital marketing + brand strategy company, is 1/2 of the DJ/Production duo Altered Tapes, owns and operates Heat Rock Records, and is deep into vinyl excavation having amassed thousands of rare Soul, Funk, Disco, & Jazz records. A hobby/obsession he shares with the world via his Miyagi Records Shop.
