Mix der Woche: Chris Read25 Jahre „The Main Ingredient“ von Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth
7.1.2020 • Sounds – Text: Ji-Hun KimMixe gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Einige sind großartig. Dieser hier ist eine HipHop-Geschichtsstunde, wie man sie besser kaum gestalten kann.
Vor rund 25 Jahren, genauer im November 1994, erschien das Album „The Main Ingredient“ von Pete Rock und C.L. Smooth. Das zweite und letzte Album des Duos und schon damals eine wegweisende Produktion, nur im Kanon heute ein wenig untergegangen. Die Experten von Wax Poetics haben zusammen mit WhoSampled diesen Mix zum Jubiläum produziert. DJ dieses Glanzstücks ist Chris Read. Denn die HipHop-Klassiker werden in dem Mix seziert. Sample-Quellen fließen in die Beats und Album-Tracks über und das alles sehr geschmeidig, lehrreich und ohne strenge Didaktik. Eine großartige Angelegenheit, ein Album neu oder überhaupt zu entdecken.
