Old School | Electro | Miami Bass Vinyl 88 Items

The term 'classic' is often tossed around casually, particularly when reminiscing about the golden era of Hip Hop and its iconic tracks. However, in this instance, B-Boy and Empire Slate proudly unveil the release of a true gem from 1987, deserving of the 'classic' label. The original mix, a masterpiece that had never before seen a 7 inch release, is now finally available after over 35 years in the making, condensed to fit on a ’45, still with all that glorious and fluid rap that defined the original is fully preserved for all to throwdown. Remastered for 2024 on heavyweight 7 inch vinyl and delivered in Those B-Boy Records sleeves and labels.

KRS-One and his original band Boogie down Productions are amongst a small collective of genre-making, scene building pioneers of this thing we call Hip Hop, and Poetry and 9mm are amongst 2 of their early works of wonder. The 1987 jam 'Poetry' famously became the beat basis and was sampled (twice!) in MF Doom's 'Doomsday', of which original copies change hands for £200+. It’s flipped by the earlier monster 'My 9mm Goes Bang', which along with tracks by Schooly D and Ice T, can be seen as an early foray into gangster rap, albeit it, from that NYC angle. Original mixes are remastered for 2024, all housed the legendary B-Boy labels and sleeves.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Beastie Boys’ 2X Platinum Check Your Head album, this limited-edition deluxe reissue is a rare version of the album that was released as a limited run in 2009. Long out-of-print and sought after by fans and collectors, it features two bonus LP’s including remixes, live versions, and B-sides. Featuring the songs ‘So What’cha Want’, ‘Pass the Mic’ and ‘Gratitude’ - Check Your Head was a somewhat return to their punk roots and introduced the trio playing their own instruments for the first time on record since their early EP’s. This 4LP Deluxe Box Set is pressed on 180g vinyl housed in a fabric-wrapped, stamped hardcover case.

German Electrofunk purist CeeOnic checks in with Ground Control. Originally released on the label of Miami Bass legend Debonaire, the two crisp and powerful productions perfectly catch the vibe of 1980s Electro classics by the likes of Egyptian Lover, Pretty Tony or World Class Wreckin' Cru, taking it into the 21st century.

The Sound In Your Ear and That's My Fantasy, which is included as a new Extended 12" Mix, are CeeOnic's overdue debut on vinyl.

1987, Kanagawa, not so far from Tokyo, Japan. Minoru Fushimi teaches his high-school classes during the day. Back from work, he transforms into "Hoodoo" Fushimi, turns on the drum machines, the synthesizers and the sequencers, blends them with his own shamisen playing and builds a cult album: Kenka Oyaji is born and becomes a milestone in Japan's early hip hop and electro-funk history, now reissued for the first time since its original release, in collaboration with Hoodoo Fushimi himself. Essential! Produced by Minoru “Hoodoo” Fushimi. All songs written and arranged by Hoodoo Fushimi. Hoodoo Fushimi: all lead vocals (except B5) and raps, lead and rhythm shamisen, lead and rhythm guitar, bass guitar, Casio, Roland and Yamaha synthesizers, drums, percussion, Drumtraks, Ddd-1 and Tr-606 programming, turntable scratching, and loud, obnoxious noises. Akiko Ehara: vocal on B5. Recorded at Fushimi’s Home Studio on Teac 22-4 recorder. Original release: 21st of March, 1987, Syntax, Mfx-2802. LP reissue production by Greg Gouty, 180g.

Another 7-inch sure shot straight from the heart of the golden era of hip hop, this double-sided killer dips deep into the heavy catalog of Super Lover Cee and Casanova Rud for an essential addition to any funky DJ’s crates. “I’m Back,” the album opener from the duo’s debut, has never appeared on a 7-inch single before. Supe and Rud trade high-powered verses that backslap all imitators — As Super Lover Cee says, “respect your elders, shorty!” The flip, “Girls I Got ‘Em Locked,” was engineered for extra large sound by all-time great Paul C and kicks things off with the iconic “One Two Ah Pump It Up” vocal intro that makes doubles mandatory, if you didn’t know already!

Another sure shot reissue by The Undercover Brother released on the Mobile Mondays label. This high-quality single is super limited and won’t be repressed…
