Positive K - A Good Combination (Kan Kick Remix) 1995

Download

I first heard this version on a random remix compilation that was posted on WYDU in '07. I had the song in constant rotation but I never knew where it was from and when it was made. Since I knew that it wasn't on Positive K's first album "The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills", I though to myself, could he had released it on 12".. maybe in '95? I tried to do some research but nothing came out. A couple months after that, a Positive K compilation "Back to the Old School" was released on CD. I immediately saw "A Good Combination" on the tracklist. Once I got my hands on the CD, I immediately skipped to the track, and guess what? It wasn't the same version that I knew. I was really dissapointed even though I had just heard the original '89 version. So after that, I though that it was probably just a homegrown remix. Finally, a couple weeks ago, I found that "remix" version on youtube labeled as the Kan Kick Remix. It was from Side B of DJ Babu's Comprehension Mixtape from 1995. I immediately went to download it and when i heard it, all that searching was finally over. I cut the part from Side B and labeled it as a single mp3. It was in a way better quality than the one I had way back.. I can't even listen to the original when I hear this remix. The original seems too plain compared to the Kan Kick version.

Rammellzee Live @ The Antennae (U.K.),1982

http://www.zshare.net/audio/6421711773166b58/

Another little piece of hip hop history that found its way onto the T.R.O.Y. forum, courtesy of Relm:

Found this on an old tape i had of a James Lavelle (mo wax founder) the only problem is it is only 4 mins long wish it was longer. Feat Grandmixer d.s.t / Rsc / Phase 2 / Afrika bam / Futura 2000. Anyone have the full cut?

Now, if you are not familiar with Rammellzee by now, get familiar, but understand that this is not your run of the mill hip hop personality. This is the bugged out, nasal alien-like voice on "The Beat Bop." The lunatic from Cypress Hills, Brooklyn freestylin' with his hand on a shotgun pump in Wild Style. The Gothic Futurist with a knack for reinventing language by deploying symbols in cosmic warfare. Right. Peep the videos for more scientifical madness.

Is there another person on earth who likes the sound of his own voice more than Kris?

dirt_dog Remix Pack 1

Before my vinyl obsession began, I used to be crazy madd about cd singles. It would usually go like this: I'd go to my local shop, see a cd single, buy it. Then a couple weeks later I'd spot the same looking cd single in a slim line case. Sure, why not get that one too? It has 1 or 2 extra tracks on it. It came to the point where I'd buy just about anything I could in hopes of finding some dope remix, live track or a non-album track. So here I'm going to give you little 5-track packs of my favorite remixes and other rarities that I've pulled from my own cd single collection over the years. I'm also going to do my best not to repeat any track from the 50 Remixes You Need To Hear series that was done earlier on the blog.
