I feel like I have to bounce back from my Top 40 post fast… so, here’s what I got. De La Soul – A Rollerskate Jam Named “Saturdays”. It’s a jam, you know it. But have you heard all the remixes? In the past few years I’ve been paying special attention to the 12″s of this I see – specifically because of those extra cuts (I had heard there were more). I thought I had heard them all, then about a year or so ago I found a new one (all be it, possibly a bootleg – see Disco Fever Mix below). So, I’m taking a second to give props to the remixes. Heard others you’re feelin? Hit me up!

PS I’m not fucking with the house remixes.

This was off the 12″ with all the house mixes on he flip side. Not really a remix at all, just a promo, shout out cut.

Now this is the cut. Dres of Black Sheep rips it on this one. The Woody Woodpecker noise is a bit annoying, and the hooks are short but it’s a posee cut so extra verse time was needed for everyone to rep.

Another banger. Extra keys, some disco flair, a touch house, chunked up bass, more shouts outs for the ladies.

Now this is the most recent one I found, and the one y’all might not have heard (possibly because it’s a bootleg). Nothing special really, but I dig it. It’s longer, had more breaks and subtle change ups.

BONUS DE LA FOR YA

Sole Sides recently linked up the De La Soul – 3 Ft. High and Rising Video Press Kit. That is the shit!

Though never meant to be an official promo mix, this was originally given away to family and friends near the end of 05 just after I moved to San Diego. As time progressed, it sort of became a makeshift promo of sorts. There’s a few small things I would have liked to have fixed before giving it out, but overall I dig how it turned out. Enjoy!
