What does the phrase “Best Before” really mean? How curdled is too curdled? Are you really going to walk all the way to the store to avoid a mystery flake or two?

This is a collection of previously unreleased remixes of Erykah Badu, Mobb Deep, Grap Luva, and Street Smartz that I did between 2006-2007. Some tracks may contain trace 90s-influence chunks.

The whole EP can be downloaded for free from Bandcamp. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

Ugh. No tea or biscuits. Could life be any worse? Doubtful.

This is our first EP. It blends the worlds of jazz, hip-hop, and that feeling when you open the pantry and there’s no English Breakfast left. Or there is, but there’s no milk. Heartbreaking stuff.

You can cop the EP on Bandcamp for free (donations to our Twinings fund optional and much appreciated).  Or, if one-click-checkout is your thing and you don’t mind giving the big dogs their cut, there’s always iTunes, Amazon, and Lala.

Thanks for the unbelievable support shown for the music so far!

This is not swings and slides anymore kid.  You’re in the playground PJs now.  The heavies on the top rung don’t even *care* that you can do handstands.  You think you can beat Bobby Caldwell, Little Dragon, or John Coltrane at jump-rope?  Good luck, fish.
