By now, you surely already have heard that Beastie Boy MCA aka Adam Yauch passed away this past Friday, May 4, 2012, after a long battle with cancer.  This would be a pretty shitty beat blog if we didn’t pause for the man with the beard like a billy goat.  The Beasties will go down in history as legends in hip-hop, and, for our purposes, as some of the greatest innovators of the sample game.  Hell, Paul’s Boutique….

ARTIST: Little John
TITLE: The Road to Cairo
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR171
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 4/24/2012

Midtempo Gypsy Crunk

Little John’s love for electronic music, live instrumentation, high fidelity samples, and haunting vocals come together in this mid-tempo gypsy-crunk tune inspired by the Egyptians. The original is a collage of organic sounds that one may hear on the way to downtown Cairo. And David Starfire, Mochipet, and Nanda have their own take on this collage. Some of Little John’s musical influences are Beats Antique, Rena Jones, Tipper and Mo Wax.

Track Names:

01) The Road to Cairo (Original)

02) The Road to Cairo (David Starfire Remix)

03) The Road to Cairo (Mochipet Remix)

04) The Road to Cairo (Nanda Remix)

Get it on Addictech Beatport and more..

“Basslines, Middle Eastern percussion, gypsy-esque violin and a promissory mysterious women’s voice are your downtempo guide through this exotically-crafted, texture-drenched sonic souk. The remix suite, featuring David Starfire, Nanada and Mochipet, makes for a compelling trip down the side streets of sound with just the right balance of bump, hustle and grind!”   Martin Tickle aka Dj Dragonfly
