7evenThirty – 2012 (Apollo Brown Remix) (MP3)

Waaaaaaake up! It’s 2012 and 7evenThirty is bringing all kinds of hell. After tearing up Atlanta at the A3C showcase, then swinging thru Jackson, Mississippi for a little celebratory event, 7evenThirty brings labelmate Apollo Brown to the table for a fresh mix of Twenty Twelve.

Apollo does nothing short of drop the hammer on this one with the thrown in the trunk mix of the standout track “Twenty Twelve.” Apollo pairs it down to a raw crackle before bringing in organs, running filters, and burying some nasty drums in the sample.

Inspired by ’70s soul, afro-funk, and themed soundtracks that recall espionage, “Two” builds from the experimental hip hop inspired beats of “One.”

However, “Two” takes the groove deeper with it’s jazzy inflections, ethnic rhythms, cosmic electronics, and live instrumentation, making it a bit more soulful and funkier. The lone vocal track, “Think Twice,” which features multi-instrumentalist Khari Lemuel of TheOnes and Jae Franklin is an ode to the infectious soul classics of yesteryear with a modernized twist while “Passport,” which was featured on the Plug Research “2012″ Compilation, is an exquisite sound filled with lush pleasantries.
