Originally released in 2006, this acclaimed album from 4hero's Marc Mac has grown into a cult favourite among hip-hop collectors, beat heads, jazz listeners and DJs. Rather than simply recreating familiar breaks, Marc Mac reimagines the musical foundations of classic hip-hop, rebuilding them with live instrumentation, rich arrangements and an unmistakably soulful production style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with musicians Somatik and Luke Parkhouse, alongside vocal contributions from Voice and Capital A, Visioneers transforms recognisable hip-hop reference points into something fresh and expansive. The record moves effortlessly between jazz-funk, cinematic soul, bossa nova and boom-bap, retaining the swing and immediacy of golden-era hip-hop while opening the music up through warm bass, fluid drums, guitars, keys and carefully layered melodic detail. Tracks including \u003cem\u003eReplay\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRunnin'\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe World Is Yours\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDirty Old Bossa Nova\u003c\/em\u003e showcase an approach that is reverent without being nostalgic, taking inspiration from the source material behind iconic samples and placing those ideas into newly performed grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNominated at the Worldwide Awards on its original release, \u003cstrong\u003eDirty Old Hip Hop\u003c\/strong\u003e remains one of Marc Mac's most distinctive projects. Its appeal lies in the way it bridges generations: listeners familiar with the sampled classics will hear subtle connections throughout, while newcomers can enjoy it simply as a beautifully played and tightly produced instrumental hip-hop album. The combination of crisp rhythms, jazz-inflected harmony and understated vocal appearances gives the record a timeless quality that still sounds natural two decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 20th anniversary edition is remastered and pressed on heavyweight double black vinyl, giving the album's detailed production and low-end depth plenty of space. A highly recommended reissue for fans of 4hero, instrumental hip-hop, jazz rap, broken beat and sample culture, as well as anyone drawn to live-band interpretations of classic hip-hop aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omniverse Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58296113725814,"sku":"OMNIVLP13","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/visioneers-dirty-old-hip-hop-2lp-black-vinyl","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
