The Sound of Detroit: Base Camp Utopia 808

Promo mix for 'The Flow' - a long lost club night (circa 1999 - 2001) in London and Bristol specializing in techno bass, house, hip-hop and r&b.

Notes: 

Done after rinsing out a 12 Tech Mob 'Strictly for the Dancers' mixtape (http://www.discogs.com/artist/2743-12-Tech-Mob) one too many times. 

It was originally recorded onto tape then onto a real audio file and then mp3 so the sound quality is what it is...

Tracklist to follow...

Louis Digital Hi-Tech Funk Mix @ The Flow, Fluid, EC1 26 Jan 2001

"I Am Music"
(feat. Aaliyah, Static (Playa))

[Verse 1: Timbaland]
I'll be with you on your way to work
When your car turns on, you'll probably hear me
You can't run your car without me (Without me)
Want a deal, costs you a hundred G's
I am, I am

[Chorus: Static]
I am music
I'm melodies and harmonies
Stereo and mono
On the radio, the radio
I said I am music
I'm simply dope beats
Intros and drum rolls
On the radio, the radio

[Verse 2: Static]
I'll meet you at a summer jam
I'm with you PM or AM
I'll work out with you when you're at the gym
And when you clean the house, I'll be in the den
Cuz I am

[Chorus 2: Static & Timbaland]
I am music
Melodies, harmonies
Mono, stereo, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am music
Simply dope beats
Tempos, drum rolls, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 3: Aaliyah]
You may find me at a shopping mall
I'm not buying but I'll be for sale
I'll be a feeling when your talent shows
Might even hear me at a restaurant
Cuz I am

[Repeat Chorus 2]
