Slice-Of-Spice and Lord Finesse is at it again, this time with an absolutely incredible three set of records containing no less than 25 instrumentals produced by The Funkyman during the mid-'90s. Most of them are previously unreleased, and have been updated, mixed, engineered, sequenced and mastered for a 2014 release by Eddie Sancho and Tony Dawsey, respectively. The main record is a 2xLP set pressed up on 180 gram vinyl with beautiful gatefold artwork by Mr. Krum entitled "The SP1200 Project: Re-Awakening" focusing on beats recorded around the making of Finesse's '95 classic "The Awakening". The bonus LP "The SP1200 Product: DAT Signature Sound" features an additional 9 tracks on a single LP with full artwork, while an additional 12" (which I assume purchasers of both records will get as a free item) includes newly mastered instrumentals of "Party & Bullshit (Remix)", "Suicidal Thoughts", "Jewelz" and a previously unreleased cut. No release date has been set yet, but over at Slice-Of-Spice you can listen to a 13 minutes long sampler of the main album, a 10 minute sampler of "DAT Signature Sound", a 6 minutes sampler of the EP as well as free download of one cut from each set. I listened through everything yesterday, totaling 42 minutes, and GOD DAMN is this some exciting stuff for us boom bap fanatics. I'm gonna finally see Lord Finesse on stage in August too so that makes it even more exciting. BTW, anyone who've seen Finesse recently, do you know if he still performs MC sets on stage or is he only doing DJ sets these days?

cop that now, many options:

Picked it up last night - pretty reasonable price for the vinyl options IMO.

Wow, DAMN.

i'll cop the cd, can't afford any the vinyl options.

Everything is instrumental, right?

Yes. Except it's possible that the previously available ones may have adlibs or hooks since the Jewelz preview has the hook. So, I can't be positive

PopsUK: Yeah it's all instrumentals!

I've have a real low economy at the moment, but hopefully i'm up for a job soon and i just sent in the swedish equivallent of welfare, so hopefully i will be able to buy the 3 vinyl sets collectors bundle along with the DITC remix LP... just hope they have it for a month or two more.

One thing i found a bit curious though - wheen looking at the back cover at Slice-Of-Spice site for the 2xCD edition it says that the 12 songs from the "Re-Awakenings" album features additional instrumentation by Davel "Bo" McKenzie. we all know that 'Ness has co-produced almost all of his recent beats together with McKenzie but they definitely did not work together in 1994-1995 as far as i know - so have they slightly remixed this track as in adding instrumentation then?

Looks like everything from all 3 vinyls is on the 2xCD which means for $20, the CD is my best bet. Of course I'd prefer the vinyl, but yeah. *shrugs*

not sure if all of them are instrumentals, like verge pointed out. the version of jewelz they have posted is the tv track.

copped the cd. First thing i bought in god knows how long.

Yeah that shit is fly

Nice. didn't expect to see something like this emerge, will definitely cop

one very chilled Awakening era beat not included here is Enchanted. for anyone that doesn't have it: https://www.mediafire.com/?6x6lpgu3fdykk9y" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

These have been arriving for people who also copped the ditc records. Didn't get mine yet but hopefully this week.
