Breakin’ My Heart (Jim Sharp Edit) by Jim Sharp b/w Check Minnie’s Love (Naughty NMX & Runex Brexit Mix) by Naughty NMX & Runex | Dusty Donuts — DD 008 | Reissue of a classic alert via the London/Berlin @dustydonuts45s crew who fatten us up once again with a deeply detailed homage to the mighty A Tribe Called Quest with a 90s golden-era-glazed donut. If you snoozed the first time around, you best cop doubles.

On Side A’s “Breakin’ My Heart”, the edit/mashup maestro @jim_sharp_uk seamlessly blends ATCQ’s summery vibes with the original instrumentation via Towa Tei’s “Technova (Folknova)” sampled by J Dilla for “Find A Way” from the 1998 LP “The Love Movement”. Bebel Gilberto’s iconic vocals glide over boom-bap drums & create an undeniably catchy groove which Sharp delicately, deftly bumps up to tickle your fancy, making it a sure-shot.

On the flip side, with “Check Minnie’s Love” @NaughtyNMX & @inbrunex deliver once again by layering horns, beefed up beats, fat bass & with Minnie Ripperton’s silky smooth vocals to make you think it’s ‘92 again (without the Rhime). Every joint on ATCQ’s 2nd LP “Low End Theory” samples only the choicest cuts, including “Check The Rhime” which lifts “Love Your Life” by Average White Band (1976), “Hydra” by Grover Washington, Jr. (1975), “I’m Just a Rock ’N’ Roller” by Dalton & Dubarri (1976), “Oblighetto” by Brother Jack McDuff (1970), “Nobody Beats The Biz” by Biz Markie (1987), &, of course, Ripperton’s “Baby, This Love I Have” (1975). It’s here where the remix duo hug the EU tearfully & reverse engineer an ATCQ classic by bringing us back to the delicious source material, basquing in the warmth & glow of Ripperton’s gorgeous voice.

Carlos’ Kitchen by Tommy Rebel b/w Paper Stuff by Dedy Dread | Siffleur — SFL 005 | DJ collective Siffleur’s tune-whistlers (“siffleur” is French for whistler, like their hand-stamped mascot) have reheated 2 energetic mashups from a few years ago that are still sure-shots & are brimming with fun & good vibes. The 5th in their mysterious mashup series, & their 2nd 45, offers not-so-subtle clues of their sources with cheeky titles.

Side A’s “Carlos’ Kitchen” by @the_rebel_djschoise blends the popular cover of ‘62 cha-cha-chá song by Tito Puente, “Oye Cómo Va” by Carlos Santana (from the ‘70 LP “Abraxas”) w/ “Soul Kitchen” by The Doors (from their self-titled ‘67 LP). It’ll transport you to a vibrant, pulsating paradise w/ its Psyche-Latin rhythms & infectiously iconic vocals. It sweeps you away to a colorful, rhythm-driven world where primal beats merge with unforgettable vocals, creating a track that bursts w/ life. It’s the kind of music that instantly lifts the mood, making you feel like you’re in the heart of a vibrant, sun-soaked celebration. A touch of psychedelia really takes you over the edge.

On the flip, “Paper Stuff” shifts gears w/ its soul-infused grooves, blending a retro vibe w/ an irresistible rhythm. It’s a bouncy blend of M.I.A.’s breakout ‘07 hit “Paper Planes” (from her LP “Kala”) w/ the iconic ‘71 Stax jam“Mr. Big Stuff” by Jean Knight (from the LP of the same name). It’ll have you grooving to its irresistible soul-infused beats, swinging hips & snapping fingers. This track will have you moving, whether it’s a subtle head nod or full-on dancing. The beats are so catchy, it’s impossible to stay still.

Both sides showcase 2 mix maestros’ knack for creating mashups that are not only fun but also deeply engaging, making this release perfect for anyone looking to inject some joyful energy into their set.

Strut Your Stuff b/w Sneakin’ In The Back by Tom Scott & The L.A. Express | Ode Records — ODE-66043-S | @tomscottjazzman is a saxophonist, composer, arranger, conductor & was the leader of the west coast jazz fusion ensemble, The L.A. Express. His best-known work is the theme-tune for the 1970 TV series Starsky & Hutch. He has made 26 solo recordings, numerous film & television scoring credits & countless appearances on records w/ the likes of Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Steely Dan, Quincy Jones & others. He’s also an original member of The Blues Brothers Band & noted for playing the Lyricon & flute. The L.A. Express’ original lineup included bassist Max Bennett, drummer John Guerin, guitarist Larry Carlton, & keyboardist Joe Sample. They recorded the 1974 LP, from which these 2 tracks are taken from, “Tom Scott and The L.A. Express”, as well as a number of tracks on Joni Mitchell’s “Court & Spark” that same year w/ this lineup.

But Side B is where it’s at w/“Sneakin’ In The Back” which slinks in undercover & slides in w/ that irresistable head-nodding groover & sultry sax. It was lifted for my ATF Massive Attrack joints, “Blue Lines” (1991) but many others who sampled as well: “Justify My Love (Hip Hop Mix)” by Madonna (1990), “Souljah’s Story” by 2Pac (1991), “I Won’t Give Up” by Deee-Lite (1992), “Soul by the Pound” by Common (1992), “Edge of Blue” by DJ Krush (1994), “Bells Of War” by Wu-Tang Clan (1997), “Love No Hoe (demo)” by The Notorious B.I.G. (2009), & “Young, Wild & Free” by Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa (2012).
Side A’s “Strut Your Stuff”, written by Scott, is a light, groovy affair that delivers what the best of 70s jazz-funk-fusion has to offer. Bennett’s bass line keeps you in the pocket while Scott’s horn & Carlton’s guitar riffs go back & forth swinging light rock into a funk groover. Suprisingly, it wasn’t sampled until 2016’s “Taking What’s Not Yours” by TV Girl & then pop 2017’s “Whatever” by Call Me Karizma.
