Review :
In those hard times when government individuals thrive more and more on the poor, it's really nice to meet educated and involved artists. The Procussions are that kind of people, nice, intelligent and with something to say, without ever losing their natural cool. This is rare enough to be pointed out...
Their latest album, "5 Sparrows For 3 Cents", was released earlier this year in the US but only in november 2006 in Europe. It's top-of-the-notch L.A. hip hop, funky, old school, with plenty of sunshine, so we thought at Paris DJs headquarters that it could be a good idea to try and do a collaboration with them, that could also help promote their french tour.
The band got into the idea right away and soon -thanks to the Internet- the french dubmeister Grant Phabao, who recently reworked some George Clinton, Ty or Alice Russell tracks, received some vocal parts to play with...
A few days later a new reggae instrumental was born, wonderfully gracing The Procussions' track with skanking riffs, heavy bass, clavinets chops, echo, reverb and lots of percussion - Phabao style.
This is hip hop/reggae mashing-up at his best, we're just plain proud to offer you this as a free download. Get it while it's hot and don't miss the rest of the tour (see dates below).

The Mackrosoft - The Immortality Project (Grant Phabao Remix)
(12" virtual release/MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com)

Direct download : The Mackrosoft - The Immortality Project (Grant Phabao Remix).mp3

Info :
This track is not for music categories, but for recipe books : take elements from a US West coast jazz/funk lounge number [For example, "The Immortality Project" by Seattle's funkateers The Mackrosoft]. Select the 70's groovy melody of the Fender Rhodes and wah-wah guitar, of course. Cherish the sax licks from multiple-man Skerik. Don't forget the organ stylings from former Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark. Then get the whole thing drenched into deep dub territory by expert in sound manipulation Grant Phabao. Don't get lost into deep Studio One or Rhythm & Sound dub but instead keep a nice electro jazz funky vibe flowing. You can now call it a "remix"... and start spreading the news!

Direct download : Dj Guarana and Gino Rossi - Latino Party.mp3

Info :
Our second virtual release is a mix of samba and electronic grooves, with an undeniable measure of humor that revels in the duality of being both respectfully influenced by and satyrically critical of the Latin-meets-electronic music sound. The music in itself is a nice mix of Latin percussion and melodies, done up in a smooth, slightly French nu-jazz style.

Reggae meets Funk

The Lone Ranger - Dub Salvador - A Grant Phabao Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC078, 2006-04-07

Info :
The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time. Without Lone Ranger, no Yellowman, no Shabba Ranks, no Sean Paul...
Thanks to the incredible production skills of French dubmeister Grant Phabao, who crafted for him a splendid album last year ("Kulchaklash" / to be pronounced "Culture Clash"), The Lone Ranger is now back on the charts, with rub-a-dub partner Carlton Livingston and their cover of Dandy Livingston's hit "(A Message To You) Rudie". This new single is making waves all over the irie globe on a strictly limited edition 12 inch (500 copies only!), issued on T.I.M.E.C./The Pusher in Europe (with both extended and dub remixes), and on an already out-of-print 7 inch, issued on Silver Bullet in Jamaica. This marvelous slice of pure jamaican spice is a winning crowd-pleaser sure to hit the spot every time, we couldn't let it out of this exclusive mix of oldies, rarities & classics, so... enjoy!

Telekinetic Kat/review
[turntablelab.com]
"Oh Shit! Bastard Jazz keeps filling the void with this mind melting seven inch from Canadians Chronic Sonata. Everyday is everything I wanted it to be and more. If you love dub, buy this record. If you love downtempo, buy this record. If you love Brooklyn, buy this record! This track is bass heavy and sparse in all the right places, with the most tasteful placement of vocal snippets since Osbourne Ruddock was runnin tings. The haters will hate me for saying that, but how can I not be enthusiastic when Bastard Jazz keeps raising their own bar and pushing the surrounding music scene to bring something better for the open-minded dancefloors/living rooms. Never content to rest on the laurels of one solid side, they enlist Frenchman Grant Phabao for the always on point Bastard Jazz remix. More than overhauling the original, I imagine Grant simply introduced Chronic Sonata to Mad Professor in a sauna at a Swiss resort. They then described what they were feeling about the current state of the world and Phabao laid it down on a fat piece of tape. Just to put it over the top, check out the label design and see how things should be done. I like it. BJ, put ya lighters up!"

"Quality reggae & dub, includes a remix from grant phabao. You need a copy of this."

Bobby Ranchbuster/review
[Fact Magazine issue 12 (UK)]
"The reliable Bastard Jazz imprint throw up a limited release on seven-inch in the shape of a bastardised dub/downtempo child, which carries the mannerisms of one King Jammy at his peak. It's got a tough roots edginess compounded by well placed vocal snippets, lump hammer bass and plenty of echo, delay and reverb. A solid release that'd sound as at home on your hi-fi as on a 10k rig, benefiting from a nice, loud pressing."

Groove Distribution/review
[groovedis.com]
"Hot BASTARD JAZZ 7" from CHRONIC SONATA. "EVERYDAY" explores rough and rugged dub/downtempo with live drums, a healthy heap of delay, swirling guitar and a deep bassline. On the flip GRANT PHABAO of TIMEC builds "EVERYDAY" in to a BASIC CHANNEL/RHYTHM & SOUND style dub assault. Wicked."
