Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

Dynasty 'Adventures In The Land Of The Luchini' (Serge Gamesbourg Rework)

I had never heard this song before a few weeks ago and it stayed in my head. It's so beautiful, but I thought it needed someone to minimize the chatter in the original so you could hear the wonderful composition and musicianship. I took the challenge. I hope some of you enjoy. Thanks to beatelectric.blogspot.com

Erykah Badu - On And On (Kleeer Mix By Bernd Hess)

Listen To Her is a heartfelt collection of love expressed through action, patience, and presence. Each track captures the intimacy of everyday devotion — cooking together, dancing in the kitchen, writing love notes, and communicating with honesty. The songs speak to a deeper kind of romance, where respect is shown in the details, responsibilities are shared, and love grows stronger through listening and understanding.

This project is a celebration of partnership — being best friends, lovers, and life partners all at once. Smooth grooves, tender vocals, and soulful instrumentation create the perfect backdrop for lyrics that remind us that true connection isn’t built on grand gestures alone, but on the simple, thoughtful ways we honor each other every day.

Listen To Her

Found this track on a UK jazz compilation from 2000 and fell hard. From 1999 with vocals by Pamela Anderson of D*Note & Incognito fame, wanted to shine a light on this gem with a bit of additional love.

Time for sexy. Basically a 'fake me out' instrumental version of Jay-Z's "Girls Girls Girls" with a little added flair and re-arrangements here and there. Les McCann "North Carolina" drums + Sazon Booya homage. DJ-friendly. Enjoy!

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.
