In a fine blend of classics from the crates, DJ Epik stocks his Bandcamp with a an irresistible collection of jams. Your bound to feel like cruising when the 80's groove of The Whispers meets the rhyme of Q-Tip. Zhane's heartfelt songwriting is renewed with a groovy remix of "Sending My Love". Let your mind be free with these remixes that offer a moment to press play and feel better than before.

Digital downloads of these Epik remixes are available via his Bandcamp, but if you'd like to get them on 7" vinyl visit his collection here at Juno Records.

Tune in to one of the greatest as two remixes of Jay-Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" represent the ascension of an MC. The grime of the ghetto meets upper echelon American extravagance with an underground-sounding remix by Wes. His version feels dark and offers a serious vibe in comparison to the party feel of the original. It's sounds raw and more like a demo that Jay would've sent to The Stretch & Bobbito show. DJ Keytronikz represents NYC to the fullest by merging a Brooklyn rhyme flow with the bounce of Harlem on one track. His remix of "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" is the perfect addition to the party, taking us back to an era when throwback Jerseys and Air Force Ones reigned supreme.

Witness Preemo & Royce Da 5’9″ go BOOM once again, but this time to the soulful and charming sound of The Imaginations. Vlad Flueraru makes it happen by flipping this outstanding arrangement of flute and horns on his remix of "Courtesy". This flip of the same sample previously used for Ghostface's "The Forest" bangs in it's own right. Royce Da 5’9″'s empowered persona and stylish flow is a great fit as he represents larger than life on the mic.
