Prefuse 73's re-imagined dub take on La Llama

IN THE STORE

Savath & Savalas - The Predicate (Dub Version)
$9.99, Album, exclusive digital pre-release at Stones Throw

We really enjoyed Savath and Savalas’s La Llama. It served as an excellent summer soundtrack, with Eva Puyelo Muns’ breathy vocals sliding around casual melodies and caressing beats crafted by Prefuse 73 and Roberto Carlos Lange. Well, summer’s gone, fall is upon us and winter will be here soon. So this entry into the Savath and Savalas book – etched by a new production entity we know only as “The Predicate” (Prefuse knows all types) - fits perfectly. Who woulda thunk it - La Llama, the “Catalan-folk-psych with minimalist-electronic-sensibilities” re-imagined as an excursion in neo-dub? Not us, but La Llama: The Semi Dub Porn Version eases us into autumn with a just enough bounce to remind us of the warm days past.

Savath & Savalas - The Predicate (Dub Version) will be released worldwide on CD January 2010.

Psych, funk, jazz and rock covers of Pete Rock’s Greatest Tracks from MF DOOM’s go-to instrumentalist

IN THE STORE:

Mr. Chop - For Pete's Sake CD/LP/Digi (Now-Again/Five Day Weekend)

Mr. Chop is a producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist behind several Now-Again and Jazzman Records releases.  Recent work as a co-producer & co-writer on a series of tracks on Born Like This from MF DOOM (who called him “the illest to grace the boards”) led to a chance to rework psych funk, jazz and rock covers of producer Pete Rock’s greatest beats, resulting in For Pete's Sake.

His is a unique take that has led to an album that the heads will recognize by, say, the Tom Scott sax-line Pete Rock poached for “T.R.O.Y.,” or a host of other sample-based calls and response that Chop has deconstructed and reassembled again.  These tracks were recorded at his Cheshire, England-based Ape Studios with the likes of The Heliocentric’s Malcolm Catto, Jake Ferguson and Mike Burnham, offering up a futuristic mixture of fuzzy psychedelia, funk and jazz, informed by years of record collecting and hip hop studies.

Worldwide release date for For Pete's Sake is November 3rd.
