Kinny - Forgetting To Remember (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) 2010-03-07
Kinny – aka Caitlin Simpson – was born and raised in Canada and has a mixture of Jamaican, Native Canadian Indian, French and Swedish heritage. She sings jazz, reggae and soul for Brighton's Tru Thoughts label, on which she released two albums, Forgetting To Remember (2005, with Espen Horne), and Idle Forest of Chit Chat (2009, with Souldrop, TM Juke, Unforscene, Hint, Diesler, the Quantic Soul Orchestra and Nostalgia 77!). Her 2008 single Enough Said with the QSO was a huge hit in our books.
Grant Phabao ranks among the greatest multi-instrumentists/producers of his time. After 2 dub albums (as Tnargoabapah), 4 thematic albums with the T.I.M.E.C. collective, and 4 reggae albums with Jamaican veterans The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, The Jays and The Silvertones, he's now hard at work with fellow Paris-based musical genius Doctor L on a series of collaborative concept albums for the brand new Colored-Inc. label (The Black Cat, Down By The River Side, One Foot In Jail).
Here's Kinny and Grant Phabao virtual meeting, featuring the songstress' unique soulful vocals (taken from the a capella version of Forgetting To Remember), drenched into Jamaican roots grooves courtesy of the one and only french dubmeister. Play it... and then play it again - this is music that doesn't age!

The Black Cat - Hard 2 Find Vol.1
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI001, 2009-02-24
The Black Cat's first album on the new Colored-Inc. label (colored-inc.com - launched by Djouls and Doctor L is what some could say a 'world' album. Blending from Latin grooves with Afro rhythms, Reggae harmonies with American Jazz or Funk vibes, Saudade with Jamaican riddims, Psychedelic Funk with Electronic R&B, Psychedelia and Hip Hop, with some lusty doses of Rub-a-Dub , Afro, Soul and Reggae in between, this is indeed a kinda world tour.
All production duties and nearly all instruments by Doctor L & Grant Phabao with star guesting Martin Perna (from Brooklyn), Ocote Soul sounds & Adrian Quesada (from Nicaragua and Austin, Texas) Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger and The Jays (from Jamaica), Tita Lima (from Brazil), Allonymous (from Chicago), Roldan (from Cuba), Dom Farkas (from Paris) and Kiala (from Nigeria and Congo). Yep 'world' indeed.

Soul Stereo - This Is Reggae Soul 4
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) Soul Stereo/T.I.M.E.C., 2009-09-30
Fatta is the main man from the Soul Stereo Soundsystem, the number one sound in France. He's the one who introduced us to The Lone Ranger and Carlton Livingston, whose albums are gonna happen any time soon on the T.I.M.E.C. label. He's the one bringing some heavy selection of rare Jamaican 45s to the studio for Grant Phabao to operate on. This is his 4th mix in the Reggae Soul series. The previous volumes have all been downloaded more than 10.000 times. Why? Because there's just no other reggae podcast anywhere with such quality on the sound and on the diggin' at the same time.
Original reggae-wise, Fatta & Phabao rule!

Lyrics Born - I Like It, I Love It (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) 2009-08-13
When Berkeley hip hop meets Jamaican reggae...
Pressure keeps on rising for the upcoming releases of Grant Phabao's three (!) new albums with The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston and The Jays (on his own label T.I.M.E.C. co-run with Djouls and Captain Detendu)... The french dubmeister offers here a bouncy reggae rework of I Like It, I Love It, taken from last year's hit album Everywhere At Once (released on Quannum/ANTI). It's kind of a cousin of the N.A.S.A. remix he did earlier this year (featuring David Byrne and Chuck D.!) - all party-style with its rolling drum breaks and hookish chorus-like lyrics all along! A certified floor filler already tested and approved by fellow DJ Erik Rug at is famous WaxGroove nights.
More Grant Phabao remixes to be released and/or podcasted soon for Tosca, Diesler feat. Laura Vane, Antipop Consortium, Le Damn Dog, Ocote Soul Sounds (all official ones!)...

Biography :
One of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling independent hip-hop artists of this era, Lyrics Born is not the type to sit still. While recording his fourth solo album, completing new projects, and making decisions at Quannum Projects, he still averaged over 150 sold-out shows a year. He's a whirlwind.
His breakthrough solo debut, Later That Day, was a huge indie seller and one of the top 5 most critically acclaimed American hip-hop records of 2003 alongside Jay-Z's The Black Album and Outkast's Love Below/Speakerboxxx. With the release of Everywhere At Once, rapper/producer Lyrics Born finds himself part of a new vanguard of hip-hop artists like Gnarls Barkley, M.I.A., and Kanye West who are pushing the edge with compelling yet instantly accessible sounds.
Everywhere At Once reveals the full breadth and depth of his skill and vision: minimalist grooves, reimagined electro, East Bay greasy funk, devoluted punk, futurist dancehall, postmodern blues, tomorrow's slappers. He's an artist who is not interested in the limits set by the market or even his past triumphs.
Everywhere At Once leads off with a brace of crowd-pleasers. "Hott 2 Deff", "Differences", and "Cakewalk" feature guest work from Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, Baby James, B'nai, Myron Glasper, Jake One, Amp Live, Trackademicks, and LB's brilliant partner, Joyo Velarde. Kat Ouano from Crown City Rockers, C. Holiday, and The Count are also featured.
Although soul-baring songs have marked Lyrics Born's career—think his 1996 indie hit, "Balcony Beach", or 2000's global smash "I Changed My Mind"—Everywhere At Once is also his most personal record to date. Songs like "Whispers" and "Skin I'm In", he admits, are his attempts to come to grips with the passing of his best friend Benjamin Davis and his identity issues growing up Asian American, respectively. "I don't think that people know a whole lot about my personal experience," he says. "And as a people, Asian Americans are kind of like background music in this country. These are parts of my experiences so I just wanted to talk about it." The album reveals much about one of the most beloved artists in the game.
His 1997 debut with Lateef the Truth Speaker, Latyrx, sold 100,000 for his influential indie label, SoleSides. When the label was reborn as Quannum Projects, the album he helmed, Quannum Spectrum, yielded him an international hit with "I Changed My Mind". His day-in-the-struggle concept album, Later That Day, featured "Callin' Out", a monster crossover that lodged at 1 at the influential rock station LIVE 105 for 5 weeks. Same !@$ Different Day collected new tracks and alternate versions of tracks and became Quannum Projects' fastest seller. Overnite Encore captured the excitement and intensity of LB's live show, and produced another chart-topper, "I'm Just Raw".
Lyrics Born has been one of the most licensed hip-hop artists in the world, with placements on Diet Coke, Motorola, Nokia, and Vans commercials, TV shows such as "Entourage", "Six Feet Under", "What About Brian", "Gossip Girl", and "Gilmore Girls", films like Michael Mann's "Collateral" and Justin Lin's "Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift", and videogames by EA Sports, 2K Sports and Atari. He has had sponsorships with Puma, Adidas, Diesel, and Evisu.
"I came up in a tradition where you made records, then you toured," he says. "I like seeing people having a good time. That's how I feel like I'm moving forward, that things are in motion. I'm a performer — it's part of who I am."

Erykah Badu - Soldier (Grant Phabao remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2000-07-03
Grant Phabao's list of remixes is becoming months after months quite a treat, and we keep on feeding him with cool big hitters a cappelas to work his skank & dub magic on. George Clinton, Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, AC/DC (!), Q-Tip and Cee-Lo all got their proper rework, offered for free in remixed form, here on Paris DJs. BUT Q-Tip got the exclusive Grant Phabao treatment twice and we didn't want Erykah Badu (one of the most wonderful American voices of our time) to be jealous, so here's a second reggae take on a track from the New AmErykah Part.1 album. As usual, our friend and neighbour Erik Rug tells us he successfully tested the track on the floor and 100% supports the roots Jamaican vibe coupled with the heavy boombastic production skills from the french dubmeister.
