Return to the 37th Chamber

El Michels Affair

A dusty, psychedelic reimagining of Wu-Tang classics. Gritty analog soul that sounds like a lost 1970s kung fu soundtrack recorded in a basement.

It's Wu-Tang Clan reimagined as a gritty 70s kung fu soundtrack played by a killer soul band.

A gritty, mysterious, and deeply atmospheric journey through the urban noir of reimagined hip-hop classics.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The heavy, distorted bass line on Iron Man that feels like it's vibrating the floorboards.

The haunting, reverb-soaked flute melody on 4th Chamber that perfectly captures the Shaolin aesthetic.

The way the drums on Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit hit with a dry, neck-snapping precision.
