Mixtapes I Don’t Hate: Various Artists Daptone Remixed


This weekend the irrepressible DJ12XU and I rolled out to the Providence Record Show and Rock & Roll Yard Sale at the AS220 community arts center in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. 12XU was hoping to unload some vinyl to raise funds for the Flywheel, the local non-profit arts collective and community arts space he’s a member of, as well as to get rid of some of our boy Emeyesi’s unwanted wax, and possibly pick up a couple of rarities for himself from other vendors. I on the other hand harbored dreams that somebody would have the ill crate of old-school Funk, Jazz, Soul, Prog and Psyche LPs, or maybe a box of classic Hip-Hop 12′’s, all for the low-low price of $1 a piece and I’d be able to come up on some treasures on the cheap. I had no such luck though, and wound up spending most of my time there talking people into buying records from us, discussing rare (and cheap) finds with other vendors, and mooning over pretty, artsy chicks.

The only Funk that was had the entire day was that provided by the musicians associated with the Brooklyn-based Daptone Records posse and the select group of collaborators they worked with on the new Daptone Remixed CD sampler released in conjunction with Scion Audio Visual, which happened to be our soundtrack on the eastward leg of our trip down the Massachusetts Turnpike. I know it’s not technically a “mixtape,” but it is a promotional project compiling tracks from different artists affiliated with the label remixed by an all-star lineup of producers, beatmakers and performers from the world of Hip-Hop, Dance music, Dub and more, so I’m putting it in the same category as any of the other Scion mixtapes I own despite it’s lack of any outright diplay of mixing, scratching, blending, or any other “turntablist” skills. I mean, if it’s not a “mixtape,” it sure as hell is a “mixed tape,” if you know what I’m saying.

Some of the best remixes come from Blogarhythms favorites and former featurees. Superstar DJ and producer Mark Ronson turns The Budos Band’s scorching instrumental “Chicago Falcon” into a jittery club banger with pounding kicks and handclaps that call to mind both B-More Club music and UK Grime supporting an outstanding new vocal performance from Washington DC-based emcee Wale, who more than lives up to his own hype. While Queens, NY’s Cool Calm Pete makes over Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings‘ “Stranded In Your Love” into one of his signature thick-as-molasses head-nodders and proceeds to kick sensitive B-Boy-isms about a failed relationship all over it. Veteran House DJ Kenny Dope’s breakneck breakbeat remix of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ “Keep On Looking” smokes as well, as does the slithery Hip-Hop remix of The Sugarman 3’s “Bosco’s Blues” courtesy of Large Professor that sounds more like one of the dustily blunted beats from Breakin’ Atoms than anything the man’s done since.

Listen to “Bosco’s Blues (Bul June Remix)”

So, even though the fact that I didn’t get to load up my crates with dusty vinyl goodies was “a bunch of mambajahambo,” hearing Extra-P sounding like he’s in his prime again was enough of a throwback to a classic era to put a smile on my face for the day.
