The Note [GENSU DEAN REMIX]
The Note [Gensu Dean Remix] is a serious, slightly ominous toned track starts with singing in what almost sounds like a call to prayer over a sitar. Then Dean cuts up some drums, adds some bass stabs, and layers vocal chanting throughout the beat to create a thought provoking, heavy new edition of Apollo's original.
Additionally Dean drops a new chorus reflecting on those who are so caught up in the grind for money that they lose sight of the everyday folks - a sort of note to self to maintain focus on what's important even while some blaze up in their pursuit of materialism. Hassaan Mackey of course spits raw and reflects on writing, music, and the deals we make: "Looking at the paper like hmmm I'll take her."

Kev Brown "August 2005 Beat tape"
Kev Brown is forever underrated. this is a really nice a selection
of early work. my favorite thing about this tape is that these are
works just before "i do what i do" came out so the sound is
very familiar.

Analog Vinyl Sampling-ISHAC BERTRAN
Analog Vinyl Sampling from Ishac Bertran on Vimeo.
Sectors from a vinyl record are cut and replaced by pieces with exact shape from other records. When played in a vinyl player the needle follows the grooves from both sectors creating sampled tunes or loops.
Amazing.
