N.A.S.A. - Money feat. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge & Z-Trip (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-05-30

The mighty Grant Phabao, who's all about bringing back the original King Tubby sound with a modern twist, injects some perfect-for-a-Friday irie type of vibes into N.A.S.A.'s Money feat. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge & Z-Trip.
In doing so, the dub master successfully turns this big big choon into a laid back, smooth grooving 100% Reggae Jam. Enjoy! (knewjack on Squeak E Clean's blog)

This is an official remix co-produced by N.A.S.A. and T.I.M.E.C. (Grant Phabao & Djouls's label), available for licensing. Expect a CD release thru N.A.S.A./Anti- Records (on a upcoming remixes compilation) and a vinyl release thru T.I.M.E.C./Superfly Records distribution (on an upcoming Grant Phabao remixes compilation 12 inch)...

The Herbaliser - Can't Help This Feeling (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-05-23

Thanks to our resident DJ Soulist who booked The Herbaliser recently at La Maroquinerie in Paris, I had the chance to meet Ollie Teeba in the backstage and tell him about an upcoming reggae remix of Can't Help This Feeling that we were preparing for the Paris DJs virtual releases collection. He was really enthousiastic about it, saying the track could really work well in reggae mode and giving us his benediction... So here's the finished thing, with rumbling horns and skanking hooks, taylor-fit for all shaking dancefloors - another Grant Phabao instant hit!.. but I guess you're used to that kind of standard now.

Already suported by Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts) and Erik Rug (Les Disques du Telegraphe), this remix is one you shouldn't pass on!

Roots Manuva vs Serge Gainsbourg - Requiem For A Witness (Paris DJs Soundsystem Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-04-10

We played this bootleg so many times at parties (to the dancers' delight), that we decided to fully remaster the thing and share it with everyone. We took the instrumental version of 'Requiem Pour Un Con' from Serge Gainsbourg, and tweaked it with the a capella from Roots Manuva's 'Witness'. The resulting track is driven by its fat and funky groove, erupting with a peculiar, sophisticated sense of rythm and harmonics. For those who haven't heard this bootleg yet, just expect the unexpected!

Grant Phabao reworks "Dude", Beenie Man & Ms. Thing's dancehall hit from 2003, into uptempo reggae with deep skanks. Erik Rug's been playing this one for more than a year at the WaxGroove party - "Typically the kind of music I play over and over in the beginning of my sets" says Erik visiting us today. Don't miss the show tomorrow where you'll be able to hear some new exclusive remixes for the first time ever. Burned CD just got out of the oven and into Erik's hands...

Mr Vegas feat. Alozade & Hollow Point - Under Me Sensi (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-03-27

The Grant Phabao recipe :
Take a smokin' dancehall hit, a true ganja song. Remove the instrumental crust, usually a digital riddim without much musicanship in it. Take the vocal part and dress it carefully with a brand new 70's reggae skanking riddim, with Jamaican heavy drumming and delicate percussions, guitar licks and melodious organ chords. Don't hesitate to spread a good slice of breaks into the beats. Leave it to rest for a few months. The final cooking part consist in a few days of getting that huge booming sound that goes with reggae. Spice with bits of echo and delay. And finally, don't forget to serve the resulting classic herb tune with an already fired-up big bammy!

Jon Kennedy - We Milk Life But Skank Smooth (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-03-06

Jon Kennedy learned to play the drums at the age of 12 or 13 and started to record his own crazy tracks on a 4 track straight away.. Before that he was listening to War Of The Worlds OST and my brothers rock music, strumming along to them on his guitar, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Kiss etc. After 3 really cool trip-hop-like albums on Tru Thoughts and Grand Central Records, he'll release a new album, "14", this summer on Organik Recordings. Expect Rock, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk... all of a heavy nature from the drum perspective. This skanking (and exclusive) Grant Phabao remix takes a song from his previous "Useless Wooden Toys" album into Jamaican territories. The Bristol beatmaster dressed with dreads... Enjoy!

Q-Tip - Work It Out (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-02-27

For those left who don't know who the guy is, Q-Tip is a former member of the famous hip hop band A Tribe Called Quest. He's just released a new solo album, which is quite good even for some major company shit. He'll be playing in Paris on March, 9th at l'Elysee Montmartre, but the show is already sold out. If you haven't got your ticket already then you haven't been ripped of 44€ (yes you've read it: 44 fucking Euros). We're kind enough to appease any hyped feelings of yours with a free and exclusive remix of the single Q-Tip had released just before his "Renaissance" album. It's called "Work It Out" and was only available as a promo 12 inch released in 2007. Now here's the Grant Phabao reggae remix - another instant neo-retro classic, as if recorded decades ago at Studio One in Jamaica...
