A rework by E-Prime from their forthcoming 4 track mixtape, out on August 23rd!
"One of the things that makes our music personal and autobiographical is within our sonic explorations back to the sources of the music that has deeply informed our lives as musicians. This mixtape completely embodies that approach, both in the RnB, Hip Hop and old school house sounds we grew up with, but also in the recording process; tracking directly from our MPC 1000 into the original Tascam 4-track cassette recorder our dad bought us in high school when we first showed interest in making music. Even though these tracks may feel more like meandering ideas than fully fleshed out songs, our musical journey all seems to come back full circle on this one.
Conceptually, this is us channeling DJ Screw if he added his signature mix style to a Larry Heard or Janet recording. Or if we stumbled upon an old Aaliyah cassette that had completely warped and melted under the heat of the sun. This is us attempting to capture that feeling of getting stoned for the first time and your soundtrack is ESG, Tommy Wright III, Nate Dogg or Sandy B.
Each of these tracks directly takes us back to certain memories, or experiences in high school when we began to open ourselves up to the world and the seedlings of our newly established self-identities almost drowned as the floodgates of culture started to pour in.
This is us lingering in those memories a little longer."
