The ways which society continues to imagine and absorb the visual impact of The Wu-Tang Clan is an ongoing and legendary saga. In some of my latest finds, artists M.C. aka. Panurge and koray öztürk use their creativity to take us into another chamber of The Wu. 

In case you might have missed it, in 2007 Think Differently Music released a celebration of The RZA's best beats. Behold as a master of the sampling craft flips dusty vinyl into Hip Hop classics as a composer of Blunted Soul. "Instrumental Experience" features a number of instrumental versions of solid albums songs from various Wu releases:

On his "WikiBreaks" mix, DJ JS-1 cuts up tons of funky breaks and beats, lots of movie phrases and samples from pop culture. Take a trip down memory lane with samples of tv and interviews, along with lots of dope cuttin' n scratchin'.

Zone out to the psychedelic sounds of Jimi Hendrix in a film and album that chronicles his renowned New York Recording Studio. The new album "A Jimi Hendrix Vision" is a set that includes 38 Previously Unreleased Jimi Hendrix Tracks From 1970 + 20 New 5.1 Mixes On Blu-ray. In addition, a deluxe box set offering 39 tracks (38 previously unreleased) that were recorded by the new-look Jimi Hendrix Experience (Billy Cox on bass, Mitch Mitchell on drums). This is a look into Jimi's work at Electric Lady Studios between June and August of 1970, just before the legendary musician’s untimely death the following month.

ResonantVibrations brings Jimi's psychedelic persona to visual form with their original art print available on Etsy. With the striking design and visually stimulating colors of this piece, the Rock legend comes to life like never before. One of the most outstanding artworks I've seen yet of this iconic musician! Below, artist Tisha Boonyawatana reimagines Jimi as a brew with her unique art direction of the Dead Guy Ale. Just one of a few designs for Rogue Brewery ales that celebrate some of the most influential and rebellious "dead guys" in music history.
