Another project brought to you by The Find Magazine! This time in collaboration with Redefinition Records (Damu The Fudgemunk) and Dutch festival Boogiedown Breda. A free EP to pay hommage to the legendary De La Soul! This EP includes remixes, remakes and tributes by the likes of K-Def, Astronote, K-Murdock (of Panacea), BP and DJ Stitches. Enjoy!

"K-Def‘s remix of ‘Stakes Is High’ kicks in the hardest with banging drums and the remarkable use of the Ahmad Jamal sample. Of course it includes the infamous ‘Vibes… Vibrations’ by James Brown as well. Host K-Murdock‘s track is more subtle with an ambient touch, reminiscent to the mellow style on ’The Scenic Route’ by his hip hop group Panacea.

On the other hand, we have DJ Stitches (remember Class A Felony?) & BP. The obscure movie samples on their remake of ‘Millie Pulled A Gun On Santa’ are explicit and give this version an extra playful dimension. Astronote‘s track is completely different compared to the aforementioned contributions. The tribute by the French producer slightly leans towards an electronic orientated beat." - The Find

Remember this, this one or that? I liked those quite a lot when I was a 15-year-old heapster. Lost track of them ever since, but thanks to Fjaaz for posting their new album on our forum. For me personally, I don't like Flipsyde that much anymore, but there's some good stuff on this album. So sharing for those who do dig it!

Oh and Fjaaz, your package with your The Find contest prizes will be shipped tomorrow ;)

Good to see this, thanks Fats Eardrum for sharing! We can't wait for the new Lightheaded album, let's hope that'll see daylight before the end of this year...

'I just finished recording my 7th solo album titled "Native Lungs". I knew I wanted this album to be special so I decided to do things a little differently then I have in the past. On April 11th 2011 I left my home in Portland, OR and headed to Side 3 Studios in Denver, CO with the lofty goal of recording and mixing "Native Lungs" in 5 days. Why only 5 days? Honestly, that's all I could afford but I felt it was important to step out and take the sonic quality of my music to the next level.' - Braille

"In similar fashion as his past project, Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles, Tom Caruana mashes up 36 parts Wu a capellas and collides it with some of the incomparable Jimi Hendrix’s catalogue of legendary music. What we’re presented with is a nuclear fusion of ill beats, rhymes and a dash of psychedelics."

SICK combination, and it works really really well. One of my favourite mash-ups ever. MUST CHECK!

Through a project we're working on with The Find, I started to realize Cumbia is not my cup of tea at all. So I kind of abandoned it as a genre I don't like. But, finding this Quantic project on Beatbox Radio Show, I realized I might need to give it another shot... Because this doesn't sound bad at all! But that's probably because of the heavy hip hop influences..

"The A side features Quantic paying tribute Cumbia-style to some Hip Hop classics and the B side is a Serato tone control. The idea for this musical project started when Quantic recorded Cumbia de Dilla as a special one-off track, to play at DJ parties, particularly those in LA where Hip Hop and Cumbia have a special place in people's hearts. The queue of eager fans crowding round to ask about the track inspired and set this new project on the road. This EP features covers of KRS One, Dr Dre, Missy Elliot, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, and a an original track, Cuarta Con Cuarta."

Host K-Murdock‘s track is more subtle with an ambient touch, reminiscent to the mellow style on ’The Scenic Route’ by his hip hop group Panacea.

On the other hand, we have DJ Stitches (remember Class A Felony?) & BP. The obscure movie samples on their remake of ‘Millie Pulled A Gun On Santa’ are explicit and give this version an extra playful dimension. Astronote‘s track is completely different compared to the aforementioned contributions. The tribute by the French producer slightly leans towards an electronic orientated beat." - The Find

Requested by james from the cbox.

"Dog Day" is the debut EP by German turntablist and award-winning producer B-Ju. After two singles for Equinox Records and Error Broadcast, the kid B-Ju refines his style with these five originals. Between funky Boom-Bap, soulful sampling and groggy Rap grooves, "Dog Day" sounds equally classic and contemporary.

Watch out for the strictly limited vinyl single featuring treats by 1000names (Black Acre) and Herrmutt Lobby (Eat Concrete). Digitally, Ghostly’s Mux Mool and our very own Benny B. Blonco put B-Ju through the hooks."
