DJ Asparagus X Coral

500 / 93

Our friend DJ Asparagus (aka Coral) returns to GAMM after a few years of absence with two killer drub & bass reworks that are destined to raise some eyebrows.

On '500' the WT Killa Beez join forces with that infamous Nautilus bassline for a supa-funky mash up of d&b, hip-hop and r&b (check the drop!).

On the B side we're going deeper with a classy d&b re-rub of Souls Of Mischief's stone cold classic. 

Hip-hop and d&b truly works...proper mash up business!!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Mash-up market leaders GAMM have had a great year, leaning into the joys of the hip-hop and dnb blend. After Kampinos raised the bar early in the year with that definitive Little Simz edit, DJ Asparagus takes on Wu-Tang and Souls Of Mischief with equally devastating results that mash up the dance!

King Most

Dorothy Dilla Phife / Honey Caldwell

Debut release on GAMM for San Francisco's edit and reworks maestro King Most.

For this supa funky 7", King Most first takes on Dorothy (Ashby), Dilla (Jay) and Phife (Dog) and puts it all in the blender for a rare groove(ish) hip hop jam...on a slight Detroit tip.

On the AA side King Most hits up Patrice Rushen and blends her with Soul II Soul vocals for a warm and tasteful rework.

Classic old school GAMM material :)

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Iconic GAMM 7" here as new school edit legend King Most chucks a whole host of aceness into the blender, conjuring up two of the hottest hip-hop-soul-funk mash-ups we've had all year. Bar DJs THIS IS YOUR JAM!!

Riddim Research Lab Vs Lay-Far & Ant To Be

Cry Fi Dem

Riddim Research Lab and Lay-Far are back on GAMM with a killa 7" exploring the bridges between Jamaican sound systems and UK 90's club culture.

Side A delivers an uptempo dub vs breakbeat tune that probably could've been championed by someone like Grooverider or similar in the mid 90s.

On the B side we find a fierce original jungle version with those Amen drums hitting bang on.

Riddim Research Lab continue their flawless form for GAMM. Recommended!


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: One of my favourite releases on GAMM for ages, that original baggy breaks reggae version is simply killer! Lovin' the jungle tip too (though unlikely it'll get too much rotation in my particular circles sadly). RRL fail to put a foot wrong!

CoFlo

Canto De Alright / Fly Like The Payback / Made You Do It, Look

Premier on GAMM for Californian producer Coflo whose probably THE most in demand producer on the house scene right now...

But on this EP they gave Coflo carte blanche and to go freestyle.
The result are 3 reworks in various styles. The first track "Canto De Alright' is what we call a transition mix, where we go from house to hip-hop and back to house, a proper club tool.

On "Fly Like The Payback" Coflo goes more rare groove with a blend of Steve Miller Band and James Brown.

Last but not least Nas gets a stompin' boogie treatment that flexes so strong! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Unarguably the biggest 12" this week, where else are you gonna get Kendrick, Nas and Steve Miller blended with People's Choice (or Dillinger depending on which way you look at it), James Brown and that quirky macabre slice of odd-ball carnival disco that I'm pretty sure featured in one of the more recent Tarantino films (!!) (answers on a postcard for that one please - Ed).

TRACK LISTING

A. Canto De Alright
B1. Fly Like The Payback
B2. Made You Do It, Look

Warsaw's finest producer of soulful drum  bass, Kampinos is back on GAMM with a truly amazing 3-track EP. The opening track 'Good Looking Pepe' will defo turn some heads with an atmospheric yet jazzy dnb version of Pepe Bradock's classic deep house anthem 'Deep Burnt'. Very old school Bukem / Good Looking Records, hence the title I guess. 

Turn the disc over and Kampinos delivers a massive gospel / jungle anthem entitled 'Joi'. Big gospel vocals, dirty amen drums and some serious ruffage - watch yer bass bins!

Last but not least we go deeper with a super soulful dnb take on one of our favourite Little Simz tunes entitled 'See You Glow'.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: One of the hottest records at the moment, not least because of THAT Little Simz refix. Kampinos opens up the ruffage to the masses. A strange crossover for GAMM you might argue, but one that works beautifully given the stylish musicality of the label.

Jim Sharp

Cornbread / 2000Twentyfoe

Raised in Canada but these days residing in the UK, Jim Sharp has that magic touch when it comes to reworking soul, funk and hip-hop to another level.

On his GAMM debut Jim starts up by giving Anthony Hamilton a super soulful twist that is as funky as it gets.On the B-side we get seriously deep with a killer refix blending together Donny Hathaway and Common into a stellar hip-hop / soul jam.



STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Jim Sharp hits the GAMM remit in style, with two carefully constructed soul mash-ups possessing 'nuff bump and grind.

B. 2000Twentyfoe

GAMM heads down under with prolific producer Inkswel aka Inxxxwel (on this project) for a tasty 7" crammed with deep hip hop, funk, soul and overall jazziness.

You'll hear reminiscence of Dilla and 90's R&B on the opening track 'Chill' and a kinda 90's Jersey house / R&B track (pitched down) on the B Side track, 'Hanna-Mi-Dia' (feat vocals from Blu & Ta'Raach). There's a smooth and sexy, head nodding bump to both productions that's truly tasty!

If you're an adventurous hop-hop or soul head...this should tickle your ears :)



STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Inkswell plugs into some vintage rap shit which I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure I'm familiar with. Both sides are super strong, with a kinda funky, Nas-esque jam on side A; and a more smooth rollin' West Coast flavoured joint on side B. Answers on a postcard pur-lease!
