DJ SPINNA

Our very first release was a beautiful gem from Red Astaire titled 'Follow Me' - a track that defined GAMM's identity and helped pave the way for everything we've achieved since.
Now, 24 years later, GAMM has reached its landmark 200th release.

To celebrate this anniversary and honoor our dear friend Fredrik Lager (aka Red Astaire), who sadly and unexpectedly passed away three years ago, we are re-releasing 'Follow Me' alongside remixes from some of our favourite producers.

The third and final edition in the 'Follow Me' series comes from Brooklyn's finest, DJ Spinna.
With his trademark hip hop-soul-sound, Spinna transforms this classic into a bumpy, park jam tune. Very NY, very uplifting...very much a spring tune. Oh btw, check that classic EWF sample ;)

TRACK LISTING

A. Follow Me (DJ Spinna Park Jam Remix) 
B. Follow Me (DJ Spinna Park Jam Instrumental) 

Fresh off the success of her sold-out self-titled debut album, her breakout performance at WOMADelaide Festival, and the dance floor anthem "See You Shine", Australian soul powerhouse Erin Buku returns with her most ambitious project yet; a collaborative EP with legendary Brooklyn producer DJ Spinna. Blending raw soul, deep hip-hop grooves, and future-facing electronic textures, she redefines modern soul with timeless intention. The record weaves Spinna's unmistakable cosmic production with Erin's rich, honeyed vocals, bringing together a stellar lineup of collaborators from around the globe such as Chali 2NA (Jurassic 5/ Ozomatli, Steve Spacek, John Robinson & Bloomy Meadows. .

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Erin Buku properly impresses here with four tracks that hint at a greatness on parallel with some of neo-souls best voices. It's early days obviously but we might just have a new soul star on our hands here.

I Got It / Bring It To A Halt - DJ Spinna / Jake One Remixes

Very limited 7” vinyl featuring DJ Spinna & Jake One on remix duties.

It's fair to say that veteran Portland rapper Vursatyl has been making major waves of late, with praise and support for his 'Crooked Straights' coming from Kenny Dope, Okayplayer, 2DopeBoyz & Urb magazine among many others. Off the back of a world tour supporting the mighty Blackalicious and in response to popular demand, we've decided to press two very special new remixes on strictly limited 7" vinyl.

First up, NY legend DJ Spinna lends his deft, soulful touch to 'I Got It', which summons up memories of the golden era with its deft, conscious lyrics and jazzy, off-kilter beats. On the flipside, underground stalwart Jake One takes control, serving up a fiery version of tongue-twisting lyrical missile 'Bring It To A Halt' with a side order of heavy drums and clinical cuts from DJ Flip Flop.


TRACK LISTING

A1 I Got It (feat. Ja’kar Abel) (DJ Spinna Remix)
B1 Bring It To A Halt (Jake One Remix)

The Beat Generation 10th Anniversary Collection – Mixed By DJ Spinna & Mr Thing

Over the course of nine albums in the 2000s for their producer-led Beat Generation series, BBE adopted an unusual stance. “Do what you want,” their artists were told for probably the first time in their careers. The label’s enormously liberal approach was the antithesis of stiff major record label A&R practices, their forward thinking rewarded handsomely by a truly diverse set of albums from some of the world’s most capable hip-hop architects. Among those picked to contribute were golden era greats (Marley Marl; Jazzy Jeff); acclaimed DJ/producers whose work habitually blurred genre lines (King Britt; DJ Spinna; Madlib); and those whose regular gigs didn’t afford them the creative freedom they craved (Will.i.am).

DJ Spinna is something of an anomaly in music. A humbling example of what it takes to truly succeed within the framework of multiple fields: a steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (funk, soul and jazz), foundation (hip-hop) and future (electronic / dance music) with no restraints. Known popularly as Mr Thing, this supreme disc jockey first started DJing in 1987. The first hip-hop record he bought was "Streetsounds Crucial Electro", first import 12" was BDP "Poetry", first actual record was Adam & The Ants "Kings Of The Wild Frontier". From these humble beginnings Mr Thing went on to become one the world's finest DJs and producers.
