The Release Party

Dilated Peoples

A heavy-hitting collection of underground essentials and remixes. Defined by DJ Babu's surgical scratching and Evidence's deliberate, dusty West Coast flow.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate West Coast underground mixtape with the best scratching you've ever heard.

A gritty, confident celebration of underground hip-hop craftsmanship and turntable mastery.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition into the surgical scratching on Expansion Team Soundsystem.
The heavy, head-nodding bassline that anchors the remix of Mr. Slow Flow.
The way the vocal samples on Worst Comes to Worst cut through the mix with soulful grit.
