The Procussions - Simple Song (Grant Phabao Remix)
(12" virtual release/MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) Rawkus/T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC122, 2006-11-14

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, Lee McDonald, 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).

Doctor L - Kind Of Dry feat. MC Jester

Mind Service & Records MINDDL005/PARISDJS004, 2006-09-12

Review :
Forward thinking never ends with french cult producer Doctor L...
After an astonishing series of 4 new INCREDIBLE albums in less than 2 years on his new label Mind (check djouls.com), and a collectable series of limited 7 and 12 inches concluding with an amazing cover of Sly Stone's "Family Affair", with brooklyn n°1 afrobeateers Antibalas (!), the Doctor is back with a collection of goodies from various projects once again aggregated into "Forgotten Tracks From Da Hard Drive", a full-flowing concept-album of electronic acid grooves, slams and vibes. Extracted from this new album [exclusively for ParisDJs.com web galaxy!!] is "Kind Of Dry", featuring Spontane's MC Jester, a blast of punk slam soaked in pure Doctor L electronic-acid-orgasonics. The New Thing happens HERE! Djouls

The Mackrosoft - The Immortality Project (Grant Phabao Remix)
(12" virtual release/MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com)
Mackrosoft Records/T.I.M.E.C. MS0009R/TIMEC117/PARISDJS003, 2006-08-01

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!

DJ Guarana - Latino Fiesta In Paris
(12" virtual release/MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC058/PARISDJS002, 2006-07-27

Tracklisting:
A1. Dj Guarana & Gino Rossi - Latino Party!

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.
