Sonic Wax All Stars - Spinning & Winning - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Originally released in the late 1990s, Inch1, 2 Pass ItInch stands as one of the most iconic posse cuts to come out of D&D Studios, capturing a moment when New York hip-hop's elite voices came together on one record. Produced by DJ Premier, the track features a powerhouse lineup including Mad Lion, Doug E. Fresh, KRS-One, Fat Joe, Smif-N-Wessun, and Jeru the Damaja. Each artist brings their signature style, trading verses over Premier's hard-hitting production, making this a definitive example of the D&D Studios sound during it's prime era. Reissued on 7Inch vinyl via D&D Records in partnership with Fat Beats, this delivers both the original version and the remix, giving DJs and collectors a complete package of one of the era's most respected collaborations. Recorded and mixed at the legendary D&D Studios, NYC, Inch1, 2 Pass ItInch represents the raw energy, lyrical dominance, and collaborative spirit that defined New York hip-hop at it's peak. The inclusion of the remix on the B-side adds additional depth, showcasing DJ Premier's ability to reinterpret and extend the life of a classic record. This is essential for fans of the Gang Starr Foundation, Boot Camp Clik, and classic 90s East Coast hip-hop, now available in a built for today's vinyl resurgence.

Two CD + DVD Edition. Digitally remastered edition of the band's debut album, originally released in June 2003 to huge critical acclaim. Over the course of their five studio LPs and three award-winning film soundtracks, British Sea Power have become a true British institution Top 10, Mercury nominated LP, three UK silver discs and renowned for their astonishing live shows in unique and unlikely locations - National History Museum, Great Wall of China, Cutty Sark, Cern Hadron Collider, Chelsea Flower show, down a Cornish mine, up in the hills in the highest pub in England, Jodrell Bank and at the John Betjeman centenary with Nick Cave, Barry Humphries, Ronnie Corbet and Prince Charles - as well as hundreds of more traditional sell out tours and festivals around the world.

With the original UK 7Inch of this now as rare as hen's teeth, and with the group having recently 'reformed' for one last album together, the Mr Bongo replica re- of this 1990 masterpiece by Gang Starr couldn't be more timely. The now-legendary duo of DJ Premier and Guru dropped this at the height of hip-hop's sampling of jazz, which had led to a creative leap forward for the genre. Yet while others plundered in the dark, this instant classic wore it's influences on it's sleeve and paid verbal homage to the musicians they were sampling. The Inchmelodious funkInch of InchThelonious MonkInch gets namechecked, while the track samples two of his records, including 1958's Bop gem 'Light Blue'.While both versions presented here have common elements, the 'Movie Mix' - so-named for the song's appearance on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's mythic jazz biopic 'Mo' Better Blues' - goes in a few different directions to the 'Video Mix'. Rather than just drop in an instrumental for the B-side, DJ Premier instead shows his versatility by switching up the base track (Kool & The Gang's 1971 'Dujii') and layering in other samples. In more ways than one, his virtuosity here echoes the improvisation of a jazz musician, akin to Denzel Washington's Bleak in the movie.Of course, he's not the only show in town. The late Guru's voice is as mellifluous as an instrument itself here, his potted history of the genre and the artists of jazz delivered with his own unmistakable cadence. Without this record, would he have gone on to make his 'Jazzmatazz' projects.
