[remixes] incise / canada

brand nu flow!

okay, i'm a big fan of good remixes, so i'm gonna start a new series called remixes today. my aim is to serve dope remixes of mostly indy records. so, if you produce your own beats or know a guy who does and you think me and the readers of crates of ag would like it, then email the track(s) to cratesofag at hispeed dot ch. once i have enough material i like, i will post it on my site. so, don't be shy and send me your stuff. this might also be a good chance for you to make some noise on the scene.

and to start the whole thing, i have the great oppurtunity to bless you with some amazing remixes by incise from toronto. this guy did an unbelievable job with prince ali in '07 with an ep called "i miss '94", which was and still is free for download. get it here! another free prince ali ep followed and incise even released an equally dope full length called "nobody's story" last year. be sure to check this out properly!



now, here's remix package #1 by incise:

in addition, more records are coming out. the next 12" is already mastered and is going to the pressing plant next week. also, a repress of the "under da sun" 12" is planned. and even more...

this record is hot! "seen a vision part 2" kills it! so be sure to get your copies as long as they are available.

indikator

another blessing from the crates of ag headquarter! this is a golden nugget from '94 and goes by the title of the vision. yup it's the debut ep by indikator from philly, brought to you by damage records. all tracks are produced by none other than the world famous phill most chill.

all four cuts on this ep are dope and have already been covered on some indy mixes . my joints are "damage" and "back 2 yorktown".

the indikator also released another 12" in 2000 called "smooth as i...". also he released a full length cd called "remain 2 calm".

nowadays he's working on a project called "enter the zone tv", an urban entertainment tv talk show in the delaware valley tri-state area.

that's about it folks!



INDIKATOR "THE VISION" EP '94

1. DAMAGE
2. BACK 2 YORKTOWN
3. GOING BACK
4. THE INDIKATOR






enjoy!
