Back A Minute

Once long ago I got ahold of this CD called “Rave Til’ Dawn”.  This was something we could listen to over and over and over again.  I mean, there was nothing else like it at the time.  The synth’d out sounds, driving bass kick, and random-ass samples were nothing if not fascinating.  Here’s the album I’m talking about, along with the tracklisting.

Tracklisting 1. Fuck You [Singalongmotherfucker Mix] 2. Jump! [Mutha Mix] - The Movement 3. Get Ready for This [Orchestral Mix] - 2 Unlimited 4. Can You Feel the Passion [Palladium Mix] - Blue Pearl 5. Dreamer, Dream - Code Red 6. Stylophonia - Two Little Boys 7. Injected With a Poison - Jade 4 U 8. Green Man [Rum & Black Mix] - Shut Up & Dance 9. Take Control - Lords of Acid 10. Million Colours - Channel X

You can listen to The Movement’s “Jump! [Mutha Mix]” right up there.  Also, you might notice 2Unlimited there at track 3.  What’s that?  Yes.  Yes, it is the sports arena anthem of America.  This is some killer music and has some killer loops, samples, and themes to draw from.  Enjoy!

Creatin’ A Trend

 

Crown Royale are Buff1 and DJ Rhettmatic, which is a killer tandem.  DJ Rhettmatic from the Beat Junkies, no shit.   You’ll want to make sure to check out “We Gotcha”.  The galactic beats intro is a terrific hook and Buff’s giving lyrical lessons in largeness.  If you enjoy turntables and MCs, this is pure gold.  (Ya listenin’, Sureshot?)	You thought we was done, but we got more.  Yes, the world is getting smaller, Buff.  Here we have the 2Dope EP dropped along with the album.  The highlight has to be, quite easily, 14KT’s remix of “After All” from the EP.  Choral notes under the beat give it an epic feel, really providing the gravity Buff’s lyrics demand on this track. Check it.  #99.9
