Pete Rock - Mecca and the Soul Brother Instrumentals

Not much I can say about this.... Mecca and the Soul Brother is one of the best albums ever produced. Amazing, amazing productions. These are the instrumentals.

Tracklist:
A1 Return Of The Mecca
A2 For Pete's Sake
A3 Ghetto's Of The Mind
A4 Act Like You Know
B1 Lots Of Lovin
B2 Anger In The Nation
B3 They Reminice Over You

Formed 1984, Mount Vernon, New York, Pete Rock (b. Peter Phillips, June 21, 1970, Mount Vernon), C. L. Smooth (b. Corey Penn, Oct. 8, 1968, New Rochelle, NY.), DJ. Pete Rock Aliases: Soul Brother No. 1, Chocolate Boy Wonder, The Creator. CL Smooth Aliases: Carmel King, Mecca Don. Mt. Vernon’s most prolific producer got his start as a deejay for Marley Marl’s “In Control” radio show on New York’s WBLS. His turntable skills led him to produce for various artists. In 1991, Pete was signed to Elektra records with C.L. Smooth and they dropped the now classic EP, All Souled Out. Their first album, Mecca & The Soul Brother, featured a tribute to Trouble T-Roy Dixon (R.I.P.) who was a member of Heavy D & The Boyz. The album also contained ground-breaking beats that mined the crates for horns, snares, and clever interludes.

I'm not sure how many of these were actually released, but the Fat Jazzy Grooves series came out on New Breed in the mid-late 90s and they are so so dope. Lots of Downtempo/Future Jazz/Hip-Hop Instrumental beats. My favorite from this bunch is Hustletron's Maximizer because it reminds me of a tweaky Ultramarine groove. Great stuff!

Ko-Wreck Technique - Ko-Wrecktion EP
Label - Choc. Industries/Warp
Released - 1999
Style - Hip-Hop, Abstract, Turntablism, Electronic, IDM

* Thanks for the sweet find, Rich @ RTX!

Tracklist:
1 I Can’t Understand You (4:42)
2 Metro Dade (4:46)
3 Metro Dade (Plaid mix) (6:05)
4 Behavior (4:31)
5 Take Me Away (Four Track Mix) (3:59)



Combining the talents of Skam's push button objects and DMC world champion DJ Craze, Ko-Wreck Technique brings funky IDM abstraction and flashy turntable wizardry together. Plaid also does an excellent remix.

Random review from discogs:
Being a major fan of DJ Craze, and also Push Button Objects helps me like this one a lot.

If I had to compare it to something... i would have to say DJ Krush mixed with a idm tinge. Mellow triphop backgrounds, with idm-ified beats

The Plaid remix is outstanding... possibly my fave from the ep. Its definately worth picking up tho :)

Another winner I picked up at Orpheus Records a couple weeks ago. Again, no listening station but the record looked familiar - figured I'd realize why when I got home to listen to it. Upon listening to this a moment after I took it home, I realized it was one of those records that sparked the early Baltimore Club movement (see?).
