Boom-Bap Remix Beatmaker Extraordinaire, Shaolin Luciano, Does Le Zeppo's "Nightcrawler" Like A Boss

[Bobby Tucker]

Fans of the Wu-Tang Clan, Roc Marciano, Crimeapple, Daniel Son, Knowledge the Pirate and Conway should lock their ears onto Shaolin Luciano. His Bandcamp is a remix showcase that any boom bap enthusiast would argue that he’s making “improvements” not just “remixes” to a whole array of music: from slowed-down drum ‘n’ bass classics inverted into neo-boom-bap masterpieces. The most recent remix effort is Shaolin remix single of Le Zeppo and Double Profit’s “Nightcrawler.” Crisp snap-n-crack drums coupled with a melancholy, Taxi Driver-esque soundscape mellow brass loop, giving a whole new vibe to the initial release. With the new atmosphere to the legendary flow-of-consciousness rapping of Le Zeppo and DP, after listening to this remix, you’ll never want to go back to the original. - Review by @44faced
