Lost & Found; Rockabilly & Blu
Bbe
SOUL/FUNK
KEB DARGE and CUT CHEMIST are arguably 2 of the most internationally renowned selectors, crate diggers, djs and music cognoscenti.
Here they've teamed up for BBE's 'Lost and Found' series. Keb Darge and Cut Chemist delve deep to uncover the sounds of Rockabilly and Blues for you & yours!
BBE is proud to present the first instalment in the 'Lost and Found' series hosted by KEB DARGE and his friends (he is already working on a forthcoming episode with a certain PAUL WELLER, so watch this space!). Here, he teams up with his friend and fellow crate digger CUT CHEMIST to present to you a high-octane selection of old and new rockabilly gems.
Yes, you read that right: KEB DARGE, the ultimate purveyor of funk, teams up with CUT CHEMIST, DJ SHADOW's partner in crime & the mastermind behind the übercool hip-hop outfits JURASSIC 5 & OZOMATLI, to showcase, celebrate, & - let's not be coy about this - show off their slabs of rockabilly gold.
Keb Darge has also compiled the Funk installments in the renowned 'KINGS OF...' series for RAPSTER as well as the 'Soul Spectrum' & 'Funk Spectrum' compilations series on BBE, which have sold in excess of 75.000 copies. His 'Legendary Deep Funk' compilation series (also on BBE) have sold an excess of 60.000 copies.
Cut Chemist is one of the ablest solo turntablist's on the globe and has had significant recent media attention due to the release of his album 'The Audience's Listening'. Cut Chemist & DJ Shadow's 'Brainfreeze' mixtape is the most bootlegged bootleg on the planet.
Keb (along with DJ ANDY SMITH) also hosts a 'Lost and Found' night, every Saturday at Madame Jo Jo's, Soho, London and has the authored the compilations liner notes.
Rockabilly and Jump Blues? Strange choice you may think. Not so. Rockabilly has earned its place in the history books as the first form of modern popular music, and both the playful hip-hop breaks and filthy funk selections these two vinyl dons have gotten us used to owe plenty to the driving, unpretentious sounds of the Deep South.
So here it is. Lost and Found Rockabilly: a selection of rare and obscure yet totally accessible hillbilly naughtiness, unearthed for your aural pleasure by two masters of their craft. Dance or be damned.
