Est. 2004, The official @CutChemist record label housed in an actual horse stableš“ Join the Bandcamp club for monthly exclusives from the CC archive
Following up from yesterdays post. Hereās an unreleased acetate of a dub instrumental. Now up in the subscription club. Got some more fire for yāall in the chamber. Stay tuned
#tptuesday A thing of beauty šØ Big Daddy Kaneās debut single Get Into It/Somethin Funky/Just Rhymin w Biz Test Pressing. Felt compelled to rip this copy for the subscription.
Both in the bag at all times. Fruko holds a special place for all Latin music fans. I have to say āEl Presoāhas got to be one of the greatest salsa songs of all time with one of the greatest arrangements. Particularly the last minute and a half that introduces new sections out of nowhere and theyāre š„
Another one that gets referenced a lot from me throughout the years. This is probably the first Brazilian record outside of things like Astrud that I got turned onto back around 2000/1999 by Aki @cosmosrecords I found this copy in Brazil around 2005. Canāt say Iāve ever seen a white label promo of it before or since. This is another staple here at the stable š
As great as the 1957 mono is, the Japanese stereo reissue is a whole different experience but just as enjoyable. Highly recommended and a much more available option.
A special one here for personal reasons. I was standing next to @ecoleye while he was filming the rehearsal for the first show in the Timeless series put on by @bpleasel and @mochilla and Vtech circa 2009 @astatkemulatu demonstrating how āI Faram Gami I Faramā was made from a rendition of a latin standard piano line and changing the notes to the five tone scale. My mind was blown as to how simple yet so effective it was in creating a masterpiece. I felt like I was watching a magic trick for the first time. This was the very show I created Sound Of The Police for. When asked to spin records for Mulatuās first ever show in LA, I couldnāt just play records. I had to make it a challenging and unique performance. This 1966 pressing hits different than any reissue Iāve heard. Deep and loud. Noisy at times but gives it character. What a document of music history!
