Adi Dick x RMXD EP - Free DL

Remixes EP from Wellington City's Adi Dick.

Classic hip-hop and contemporary soul tunes are the subject matter here and Adi does a great job in updating some of the tunes with a modern feel while retaining the core (namely the lyrics!) of the originals.

Highly recommended DJ material.

Mo Kolours - 'Biddies'

This just appeared in my inbox today.

I know only what I have just read about Mo Kolours, and that is very little.

But I am digging this sound; 'Biddies' appeals to my insatiable taste for clicking, programmed drums and African sound-scapes. Throw in a groove line and like Erykah Badu you got me.

Head over to the man's Bandcamp for goodie-bags of DL's.

Sample & Flip #4

I interviewed US MC Buff-1 the other day on 'Off the Record'. Good guy.

As a bed for the interview I dropped the instrumental of C.R.A.C Knuckle's (Blu & Ta'Raach) 'Bullet Through Me'. When the drum intro hit, Buff was saying, "Yeah man, I love this one!"

(Foreshadow: There's actually a clue in the title and it's basically a crazy cover version...)

Turned out he thought it was the Ta'Raach beat for Erykah Badu's lovely 'Gone Baby, Don't Be Long'.

Mild confusion ensued, and we both mistakenly concluded that the C.R.A.C beat was by Johnson & Jonson producer Mainframe.

(Fact: Blu is also the rapper for Johnson & Jonson.)

Actually, it is also Ta'Raach on the beat.

Buff was elusive as to who the original artist was that was sampled for both of the beats, the drums being the same. 

I didn't know then on the spot, but I do now!

So, after my knowledge seeking, I thought that this was a suitable addition to the 'Sample & Flip' series.
