YSK#12 Comfort Fit - Forget and Remember LP
Download: Comfort Fit - Forget and Remember LP
We’ve been slacking on You Should Know’s recently, but we were lucky enough to be sent Comfort Fit’s Polyshufflez Remix album on Tokyo Dawn, which is full of bangers… you should grab it. Anyway, that reminded me of this gem, which is free to download on Comfort Fit’s site, this is a full length album and is has countless dope beats on it… so yeah, grab it if you haven’t got it already!

YSK#11 Dert - Talk Strange
This is without doubt one of the best thing’s I’ve heard in 2009! Dert is a genius when it comes to chopping and slicing in a remix fashion and this download proves that once again. Talk Strange is 17 tracks sampling original tunes and remixes by Bjork and although using samples sounds totally original and fresh to the ear. The anchor beat has to be my favorite track off this album, let us know what you think with a comment! Also as a bonus here is a beat tape he made using Dark Side of the Moon samples as well as I know you will be itching for more after hearing this!
YSK#10 Cuthead - Murdoc
This weeks You Should Know comes from German based producer, Cuthead. His album Murdoc was given out for free last year and has been receiving constant plays by me ever since! Mixing both beats and dubstep it’s on a similar vibe to Danny Breaks so is a must for any fans of him! My particular favorite tracks are Scissorhands and Jacques Cousteau, but all of it is good so check it out!
YSK#9 The Rub - History Of Hip-Hop
Download: The Rub - History Of Hip-Hop 1993
(Read more below on for all download links)
I grew up listening to hip-hop in the nineties, I loved it then and I still love it now. The Rub’s 21 installment ‘History of Hip-Hop Series’ puts together the best songs of a select year into one mix and brings back plenty of memories with great mixing and the best tunes. The Rub also has a weekly radio show on Brooklyn Radio which is well worth checking out with plenty for mix’s and downloads. All the links included are direct to the mixes but check this page out on their site for full track listings. My personal favorite is 1993.. what’s yours?!
YSK#8 Bullion - Pet Sounds (In The Key of Dee)
Download: Bullion - Pet Sounds (In The Key of Dee)
A fresh You Should Know for this weekend and it’s a classic for sure. We both went down and caught him at Plastic People last week, but I must say it was this release which first introduced me to Bullion. The release dropped online in 2007 and fuses The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds with J Dilla style beats and I could ramble on about how good it is for hours.. but I wont. Instead I suggest you just check it out and trust me on this one!
Note from Bullion: Our remix is just for fun. This is not for further reproduction, replication, public performance, sale or hire. We recommend you purchase the original LP by the Beach Boys, which is on-sale in all good record stores. (Discogs)
