Are you ready? Say Yeah! You Want Some of This? The classic mixtape, Neckthrust One (circa 1996) is probably the most tangible form of dj art that Mix Master Mike has offered to the world since his step up to the decks.This 2-part mix showcases some of the finest turntabilism, breaks, sfx, samples and classic joints in genres of hip-hop, rap, psychedelic rock, 60’s/70’s rock and jazz as well as a plethora of vintage commercials, sound bytes and beat-driven misc. findings.It is no wonder this man was selected by the Beastie Boys to be their DJ!
I have to be honest in letting you know that I was caught a little off guard the first time hearing Nostalgia 77's cover of the White Stripes' song, "7 Nation Army."
Nostalgia 77’s version of this classic Stripes’ tune takes the perfect amount of time in laying down a thick n heavy groove in preparation of Alice Russell’s sopping-wet, soulful voice which gets the sweat dripping at approx. thirty seconds into this funked-out trip.
As remixes and cover songs must if they wish to get noticed, this diamond in the rough whole-heartedly confirms that it seeks not to mimic to the original, but rather to outwardly display the fact that it is an amazing funk song that just-so-happens to be masterfully produced and diabolically schemed by its creators.
In making this a standout track, It also helps to have prominent UK vocalist, Alice Russell's vocals bubbling all over a warm, vintage sounding percussion section that is lavishly complimented by bluesy-sounding horns and the familiar, hyperballein guitar line of “7 Nation Army.”

Primate King is the brainchild and musical moniker of Oakland California resident, Brian Michael Ball. Primate King's unique sense of artism flows freely as new heights are reached throughout the experimental electronic soundscapes that make up his debut independent release, Smokeland California.
In this musical mosaic you will witness many references to today's culture, drawing from sources such as Roswell radio broadcasts, Bill Cosby singing to children about drugs and the popular television show, South Park. Beats are constructed from ear bleeding distortion and fingernail peeling harmonics while the ambience provides subtle warmth and sparkling shadows.
In the ever growing online population, Primate King strives to connect like-minded individuals interested in music and music culture through his own Social Network, "Primate King's Kingdom," which allows for the free trade of information and user generated content throughout.
Listen close as the sound of now is upon you with Primate King and Smokeland California!
