Duke Hugh, hip-hop producer/musician/alcoholic, is a master of flipping soul samples and turning them into golden-era-esque beats. It’s awesome. I had to ask for a Marinate Mix. He says, “When I got home I got the decks and some vinyl out and just went with the flow hope you like it, it’s a lot of different stuff.” His mix is 40 minutes of chilled-out hip-hop … Continue reading Duke Hugh // Marinate Mix
I first encountered shak.‘s music through this fantastic remix collection of his which no longer exists online, sorry folks. He flipped Jeremih, Drake, and made it all his own—driving, downtempo, dark versions. (I’m lucky I got a DL in!) Marinate has the pleasure of premiering his newest creation. He says, “it’s different from my other work,” but that’s not a bad thing. shak. is a young … Continue reading shak. – “Maybe, U” [MM Premiere]

“And, crash! crash! crash! into a ditch (Just Playin.)” Classic. It’s one of the iconic tracks off of Outkast’s, err, Andre 3000’s side of Speakerboxx/The Love Below. And, will his alleged solo album ever drop? I’ve given up hope. Booddha, one-half of Vresh, recently dropped an EP that’s intense. But, he’s not done. Nah, not close. He gets ambitious and flips “Roses” by taking Andre’s howling, “pooooo … Continue reading Booddha – “Roses” [Free DL]
