Analog Mutants + DJ Snafu – Speak Easy / I'm On Vacation (808 Remix) (Double Single)

Speak Easy is a jazzy, smooth party starter that sees Phill Most Chill with his typically cutting punchlines flipping between single and double speed rhymes effortlessly, stepping all over MC conventions.  The beat sees DJ Snafu chop and mutate samples from a multitude of different songs to create a groove that's an immediate neck snapper, and DJ Grazzhoppa completes the track scratching up various sounds from the 50s throughout the verses and chorus!

I'm On Vacation (808 Remix), exclusive to this 45 and not on the forthcoming 2LP sees Phill Most Chill on his story-telling mode with a wild tale about fighting wife beaters, getting accosted by porno stars while casually enjoying his margaritas unbothered! This remix sees Snafu strip off the Latin samples and go for a moodier 808 driven fast beat, complimented by live bass harmonics and some live hammond also sprinkled in! Grazzhoppa goes totally crazy on this completely blending his scratches into the beat, making the distinction between beat and scratches quite fuzzy at times! The beat has early Wu-Tang vibes and is definitely one for DJ’s and big sound systems, b-boys and anyone who needs a dose of adrenaline!
