Originally released in 2003 in collaboration with Blue Note Records, who granted unrestricted access to their legendary archive, the project deconstructed classic jazz recordings into hazy, psychedelic hip-hop collages built from dusty loops, warped tape sonics and deeply experimental beat construction. The collaborations helped inspire a new generation of beat-makers and introduced crate-diggers to gems in the label’s historic catalogue.
