Pete Rock Remix out in collaboration with Laid Back! (Free Download)

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite sources for dope music, Laid Back Radio from Belgium! We just dropped a remix of the track "Revenge" by Pete Rock Ft. Grap Luva. Doing this project i also got to work with one of my favorite artist, Mister Adam. He hooked me up with a really funky cover! The remix is out for free download so check it out..

"Swedish DJ and producer Devastate dropped his first full length album “Movement/Silence” on BBE records back in 2010. Some noteworthy collaborations include: Masta Ace, Ed O.G, J-Ro (Alkaholiks), Reks, Akrobatik, Termanology and many others. You can also find him on Mellow Madness II (Wax Poetics), On Display (Soularp Records) and the “Movement/Mixes” funk series on BBE Records.

For this particular release in collaboration with Laid Back, Devastate sets out to remix the soul brother himself, Mr. Pete Rock. Reinterpreting “the king of beats” is never easy task but Dev takes on the 2006 underground classic ”Revenge” with great confidence. Devastate flips the beat, staying true to the original, with a classic production formula. Thumping drums, heavy baseline and signature turntable acrobatics. The result definitely leaves your head nodding. Devastate is paying homage to Pete and sums it up in the outro scratches - “You know a learned from the greatest, Pete Rock to Jay Dee, Diggin In The Crates”.
