High Park Funk - Sundae / Subtle Groove (2018)

 


A. Sundae
B. Subtle Groove

!Bang!


High Park Funk comes with all the freaky fix-ins... a sultry sampler from his cassette on Outrun Records. Beginning with Sundae, we part through satin sheets, and witness a vibe softer than soft serve, putting you in some kind of mood with a funky R&B flavor. Sundae is a silky lullaby with a bassline and synth lick that just won’t quit.

A certain smoothness from the A side reverberates on side B’s Subtle Groove, but with the tempo pushed a tad higher. The pads are meditative, and bring forward whatever emotions one feels in the eye of a summer storm, but its the bass line, again the star, that’s so satisfyingly sticky one can’t help but bob their head - subtly or otherwise.

Libretto & BusCrates - Remixes (2020)

 

01. Eternal Ridin' [XL Middleton Remix] (feat. Moniquea)
02. Eternal Ridin' (XL Middleton Remix Instrumental)
03. (When The) Music Is On (C.Scott Remix)
04. (When The) Music Is On (C.Scott Remix Instrumental)

!Bang!


Two new remixes from XL Middleton & C.Scott act as the final pieces of the puzzle for Libretto & Buscrates’ celebrated “Eternal Ridin” project.

XL Middleton’s rework of the title track from the LP transforms the song into an instant G-Funk & Hip-Hop anthem. The intersection of Libretto’s commanding lyrical presence atop the finest in Modern Funk production showcases an undeniable Los Angeles chemistry between the emcee & producer. With additional help from Moniquea on the chorus, XL’s Eternal Ridin' Remix sounds like it was tailor made for endless summer days.

Pittsburgh producer C.Scott takes “(When The) Music Is On” and amplifies its classic east coast vibes. While Buscrates’ original version took its musical inspiration from the legendary Gang Starr, C.Scott’s signature hard hitting drums and precise chops provide a remix very much in the Q-Tip & Large Professor production tradition. Libretto’s meditation on artistic relevance over C.Scott’s timeless & intricately layered boom-bap make a b-side winner that will undoubtedly find its home on a ton of Hip-Hop mix-shows & playlists.

With these two culminating remixes from their “Eternal Ridin” album, the new 7” single from Libretto & Buscrates perfectly captures their artistic vision of representing classic west and east coast rap music.

Released November 27, 2020

A video from V. Ray's old record label Jeep Beat Society Records. This was the rap act Latin Bomb Squad's electronic press kit back in the day. This was about 26 years ago but seems like about little longer. Anywayz, this is a glory days throwback. Latin Bomb Squad, at this time, was Mr. Nice Guy (now known as Lefty Knuckles) and DJ Fuse. Fuse is on the track on 'Fuck Off The Hook' and 'Strivin' To Survive' was produced by V. Ray.

This 1998 re-issue of "Neighborhood Creepas" has been heavily re-worked and only share these 6 tracks with the original release:
"Neighborhood Creepas"
"Whatcha Missin'"
"Ain't No Joke"
"Keep It Real"
"Funk Everybody"
"Straight Sewage"

...with the remaining 13 tracks being exclusive to this reissue, becoming "virtually" an entirely new album (or the natural sequel to it) released under the same title.
