KNXWLEDGE: WRAPTAYPES.PORT.1

One thing Knx has a knack for aside from crafting amazing beats, is reworking songs from other artists. His sound is distinct, so when you hear these remixes it breathes new life into them and they sound like completely different songs. The past few EPs have been primarily instrumentals, but this project (aptly titled WrapTaypes.Port.1) is a set of hip hop remixes. I pulled out a few of my favorites here. Head over to his Bandcamp and support the man. He’s out here killing it.

JON LORENZO – RENEGADE SOUND

Hometown Heroes own Jon Lorenzo breaks from behind the cobwebs to give us a super energetic fully charged mix that is guaranteed to keep you moving & grooving from the beginning to the end.

Upbeat rap & oldschool music you don’t normally hear mixed together. Unreleased (extended) version of my hip hop/electro mix from January 2009.

Applications used: ProTools and Serato

I’ll say! He even threw yours truly on there rockin over the Mr.Oizo Flat Beat (I seriously have no recollection of this what so ever) Anyways… it’s a dope mix that you should ALL have while you work out, since you ALL are in the gyms going IN since you ALL made your New Years Resolutions right? hahahaha I keed. I keed. Peep tho…

NO KNOWS DOPE | OUTKAST | SLUM VILLAGE

I know… I know… I know. It’s about damn time. & you’re right. It is. My bad for the delay. No excuses (even tho I got em). Last time I’ll be late for the rest of the year (only 1 month left jackass… not that difficult). Anyways the long awaited No Knows Outkast that was supposed to drop on the 15th of last month is finally here. It’s filled with all my faves & was a batch & a half to put together. As for this month I felt taking it to the slums, thus, No Knows Slum Village, same formula as Kast, same difficult task, all executed for the love of your support & your need for dopenaassss. TL’s & DL’s you know where…eNjOy!

NO KNOWS DOPE | AUGUST 20X

Okay so, thus far we have had NKD’s on some str8 up heat to kick start it all, then Dilla, then Beats, then Love , then Stereolab, then Portishead, then we had last months double NKD for Stevie & for this month I had to go with my man Busa Busss!! So many people sleep on Busta Rhymes! I never see him any ANNNNNNNNNNNYBODYS top 10 or top 20 for that matter. I had to dead that by doing a No Knows Busta. 60 pinche tracks! & even THAT was narrowed down. These are just my all time favorite Busta songs of all time. The others will be saved for a sequel somewhere down the road, but for now I think these will suffice. If you’ve always thought like me… then this is FOR YOU! If you sittin’ there reading this like… “really No? Busta?” then stick yo’self Pretty Tony & hit the jump to DL like yesterday!! (my bad for the 1 day delay)

Awwwwwwwwwww gyeah sun! I’m getting out my dreams! Okay so we’ve tackled str8 up heat to kick start it all, then Dilla, then Beats, then Love & now S T E R E O L A B ! ! ! This also like my Dilla tribute has been in the making for some time (since 07). My good friends Andrew Baker, Kenny Chen, Dert & myself share a love for Stereolab like no other. A favorite group of influential freshmakers as well from Gilles Peterson to  ?uestlove to J Dilla. Members Tim Gane (guitar/keyboards) , Lætitia Sadier (vocals/keyboards/guitar), & Andy Ramsay (drums) stepped on the scene back in 1990 straight outta London England. They have had many members come & go since then including Mary Hansen (backing vocals/ keyboards/ guitar), who joined the group in 1992, ten years before her accidental death. I had the pleasure of catching them last year for the first time live & it was phenomenal. Like the No Knows Dilla, this one was just as difficult to compile but I think after 4 years of debating on certain tracks to stay on or be taken off I have narrowed it down to (IMO) the best of the best that makes me love this “groop” so much. Heat spanning from across their vast discography, collaborations, live versions, remixes & rarities … yeah… this is the one! I hope you all eNjOy as much as I do.

Grimey – The Final Chapter. That’s right folks, when Mai & I set out to do these compilations, we had it set in mind that each collabo/comp we did would only hit 3 volumes & then we’d be on to the next one..on-on to the next one (besides y’all slept on vol.2). So this is our 3rd & final opus in the Grimey series, we will mos def come back next year with some OTHER theme, but until then put the razor blade under your tongue & stomp on the streets in your Timbo’s 1 mo’ ‘gain!

Tracklist & DL after the Jump 2 get beat down…
