Deaf In the Family
Don't you just love those moments of "how did I not know that existed" illumination? That's how I felt the first time I listened to this brand new promo CD for Deaf in the Family titled For Those About to Rock, an unreal collaboration from Brookyn production team The Resource (DJ Sae One and Adam Podrat aka Mr. Ling) and a host of underground MCs including Scavone, Bavu Blakes, Pumpkinhead and more. Their 10-song promo CD features remixes of classic rock tracks -- from The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" to The Who's "Who Are You", flipped with total professionalism. There is no way they cleared these tracks and I imagine this is just an APB put out in advance of the proper Deaf in the Family record to be released later this year. I posted a really intelligent reworking of Neil Young's "Southern Man" that utilizes its familiar and totally remix-ready angular guitar/drums break. Like the Joe Beats Experiment the quality of the production easily distances this stuff from the crowded remix/mash-up section at your local vinyl emporium. These are gifted studio guys who are ready to bring it. Obviously eclectic and open-minded, try and get your hands on this entire disc if you can. It's that good.
