Unknown Label Us Vinilo y CD

Review: Beatconductor brings some disco goodness and stylish 80s reworks to this first volume of Rekworks on an unknown label. The opener is a version of The Beatles's Come Together' that is slow and steady and sublime. There are more freewheeling and textural guitar licked grooves on 'Tenement Funster' while '1969' is another sleazy indie groove and 'Jailbreak' gets low slung and filthy with its rude guitars and pristine drum work. These are sure to bring a different kind of dirty disco vibe to any dance floor.

Review: Not many people could call an album Genius and get away with it but you'd be hard pushed to find anyone who disagreed that Detroit beatmaker J Dilla wasn't just that . His beats shaped a whole sound and scene when he first emerged and he is still just as revered many years after his death. He worked on various projects and put out plenty of solo material but her we're presented with another top collection of early cassette recordings. There are all his trademark dusty beats, soulful samples, dreamy melodic motifs and more to be enjoyed here.

Review: Max Tannone hails from New York City and is a producer behind several well-known mash up albums in which he takes well-known bars from hip-hop history and places them over all new beats. This one, Ghostfunk, finds Ghostface Killah and others rapping over African vintage funk sounds. It's a beguiling mix with lively beats and plenty of organ chords, tumbling drums and Afro patterns all bubbling below the ionic verses. This one comes on a nice pink marbled slab of wax and brings a whole new perspective to music by the Killah.
