Hip Hop 45s

This release from Melbourne Australia comes through unstoppable like a freight train. Calling this 45 heavy is an understatement! The Traffic are a band made up of various musicians working in Melbourne's lively funk scene. With members from The Bamboos and Cookin On 3 Burners you know that these guys…

A smooth new release coming forth from PVD Music sees the legendary DJ Spinna take on a track from multi instrumentalist Pat Van Dyke's 2013 album Right On Time. The release is completely instrumental, and while there is no denying the talent of Van Dyke, the remix of Two Sides…

Another killer rap 45 release from earlier in the year that seems to have slipped under the radar for the most part. The 45 Killer by Apathy is straight up boom bap Hip Hop that sounds equally at home on the dancefloor as it does in a pair of headphones.…

A super funky release from earlier in the year by producer Djar One out of France. Only 300 of these puppies were pressed up, and as there are still a few of these floating around I thought I'd give it a plug - Especially since it seems to have flown…

As reported a few days ago, a new 45 from DJ Format and Phill Most Chill is due out shortly, and the label Fresh pressings is now taking orders. The remix of Angry Birds utilises some hard hitting drums and fierce vocal scratching, whist the flip side sees The Shape…

Get On Down are continuing their streak of beautifully packaged releases, this time re-releasing the iconic album Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde on seven individual coloured 7 inch singles, complete with B Side remixes. Each 45 comes in it's own full coloured jacket. Now, I'm not completely certain of this,…

The team at F5 Records, who re-released the recent 45 from Alps Cru, are now taking orders on their forthcoming 7" in the series. This time they have chosen two tracks off the iconic Sadat X album Wild Cowboys. Whilst the tracks they have chosen are slightly left field and…

Originally released as a 45 back in 2008 on Mocambo label, Pimp makes a very welcome return. The track covers the steel drum sampling tune of the same name by Fifty Cent. It's heavy, raw, authentic and infectious - And whilst I still have much love for this cover version,…
