For the final mix in the series, we needed to find the perfect DJ for a “Relax and Concentrate” mix. There was only one name that came to mind: Monk-One. An expert in the art of chill and concentration, he has put in many hours on tranquil beaches and plush couches in preparation for this mix, which will be guaranteed to sway listeners into a gentle state of bliss. Perfect for putting your feet up or a state of concentration.

Wax Poetics x Technics "Relax and Concentrate Mix" by Monk-One

The 11th entry into the Heat Rock catalog includes a pair of funky, breakbeat-heavy, Native Tongues family remixes. The A-side features a horn-laden remix from Trew (Altered Tapes / Chicago) that simultaneously flips a Funk and Hip-Hop classic. While on the B-side, Double A (Montreal) takes a Digger's favorite and turns up the drumbreak dial to 15 for a Boombapped version of a Bay Area Funk/Rock deep cut. Doubles are recommended!

The artwork for this series was designed by talented Mike2600 of BRLSQ, and inspired by vintage 7inch factory sleeve designs. The limited edition 45s include custom cover art and colored vinyl. (A black wax version with a different label color scheme will be available mid-August).

Echoes From Africa

Ahhhh yeah and we're back baby - 

First release of the new season is a corker. Extremely hard to find 12" outta New Jersey by Ikee produced by the legendary Culture Freedom from Poor Righteous Teachers. 

Heads will KNOW how hard this one is to find. Last one to go on Discogs went for 160gbp and it sounded like crap!! Lol. Heavy Heavy rarity here fellas. Straight reissue as there were no other joints available. Here's what Culture said to me:


"I met Ikee in the city of Trenton, New Jersey in 1984, where we both grew up and lived. He was the cousin of one of our first DJs [DJ Divine]. Over a decade later I bumped into him and he was a fully fledged MC so we decided to record. I helped Ikee and his good friend KJ start their own label, “Upshot Records” and produced the EP for them".

And btw, contrary to popular belief [see Discogs] this dropped in 1997 and not 1995.


Big shout to Simon Pehlgrim for the request. Hope yr feelin better dude.


And we're back to the old Herring steez for a cycle or 2.  

There are 125 copies on Green Transparent Wax
And 225 copies on trad Black Vinyl.


No white labels this season.


Tracks:

A1 Sky's Da Limit
A2 Sky's Da Limit (Instrumental)

B1 Rock On
B2 Rock On (Instrumental)
B3 Life & Love


All tracks produced by Culture Freedom [Poor Righteous Teachers]



This is a pre order and ships Mid August
