Keeping the flow of uncovering underground Hip-Hop from the left of centre... We welcome the first release on Altered Vibes/Battersea Park Music from 8:35, 'Mingle With A Sound'. Another journey into funky soundscapes and soulful lyrics defying boundaries and categorisation. Hailing from Portland Oregon and along with his crew 'Forgotten Dialect' stating their influences and inspiration from diverse and deep Jazz, Funk and Fusion sounds rather than other MC's and producers. This is evident upon hearing the original version of 'Mingle With A Sound' as it does not follow any pattern or try to imitate in any way. Fresh and original beats utilising moody Jazz samples Mingled with Conscious lyrical content. Next Up French hip-hop stalwart DJ Phantom goes to work on a space bass driven remix which won't fail to keep any head noddin' and foot tappin' and suitable for the living room and dance floor alike. On the flip side is the rework by infamous West London DJ/producer Daz-IQ, an integral part of the Broken Beat and Future-Jazz scene. In this case bringing a Soulful, Hip-Hop Boogie based beat to the project. The final offering is another track by 8:35 called 'All Your Questions'. This time working with major UK Hip-Hop player DJ Stix digging deep into the crates for rare Jazz samples to compliment the vocal efforts of 8:35 and crew. Stay tuned for more undercover operations from the Altered Vibes/Battersea Park Music stable very soon.'
