Ooh, we love a good compilation, especially when curated as finely as this one. ‘The Heist’ is 13-track journey of contemporary funk and hip hop brought to you by French hip hop label, Retro Jungle Records, and Los Angeles label and lifestyle collective, Good Society. It’s chilled, summery vibes personified.
The Heist project brings together many of our generation’s most notable beat scene creators in The Kount, Rob Araujo, Louis Futon, and the multi-platinum producer Kaelin Ellis who is behind standout track number 8, ‘Noise’. It also serves up a cross generational touch in featuring Matt Johnson – keys player of Jamiroquai.
Available now via all digital platforms, keep an eye out for a forthcoming very special limited-edition vinyl. The artwork features a classic 90’s hip hop theme with stylistic reference to A Tribe Called Quest’s most recognizable works.
