via Redefinition Records: “House Shoes presents The King James Version Chapter One: Verses One – Four (2LP, Black Vinyl Mixtape)
Follow HouseShoes on Soundcloud: @houseshoes
This is a lovingly and expertly constructed journey through the building blocks of Dilla’s beats – the dusty OG vinyl grooves that he sampled. From the basis of a Frank-N-Dank cult favorite, through that of a Fantastic SV moment, to Donuts’ irresistible ingredients, Shoes’ thorough work shines the light on his friend’s ear for a sneaky loop, his affection for perfectly imperfect chops and his knack for extracting the soul from a forgotten musical fragment and making it something altogether new, something his own. Long Live King James” -Chairman Mao XXLMag/EgoTrip
Mixed and Arranged By HOUSE SHOES
Recorded By RHETTMATIC (Beat Junkies)
All Tracks Taken From Original Vinyl”
2LP, Black Vinyl
Total: 75 minutes & 19 seconds
