'Take The Chains Off Your Brains - Psychedelic Hip Hop, Funk & Jazz Grooves' is the 5th compilation coming out on the Paris DJs label. But it's already the second one dwelving into the complexities of the Hip Hop culture for the Paris DJs Soundsystem crew, after the prized 'It's The New Hip Hop Thing' released in 2009 through the now defunct Vibrations magazine.

After four Afro/tropical compilations released in just 12 months, Paris DJs start exploring some more diverse musical areas. They welcome on board of their musical adventures Paris-based Miska, an unstoppable newcomer in the international Hip Hop scene, starting with the curating of this new selection.

As with many previous Paris DJs works, this record was conceptualized and illustrated before hearing one single note of music. Joining forces, French amazing illustrators Ben Hito and Bernard Bittler have designed a very original retro-futuristic art cover, which was then put online and sent to artists all over the world along with the compilation title/theme… It's a way of starting at the end of things, which proved to be very inspirational for the producers and musicians who submitted tracks.

The road map was quite precise: Paris DJs were looking for psychedelic hip hop, mind-bending funk & jazz with MCs, consciousness-expanding beatmakers, b-boys & b-bgirl in outer space, artists bringing back the spirit of Edan's 2005 masterpiece 'Beauty & The Beat' and of course raw dancefloor fillers connecting the various strands of hip hop culture!

A LOT of music was sent to the Paris DJs headquarters, up the hill in the soulful north-east of the French capital. Time was spent listening to hours of hip hop or funk beats & tunes, looking out for the most multicoloured ones, and the final selection is one hell of a psychonautic trip, which should see its listeners explore partially charted regions of the super continent of their brain, while their hands will seem to have melted with the reliefs of time.

Reaching for the inner soul, 'Take The Chains Off Your Brains' is a listening experience, an act of perception leading to an act of imagination. When psychedelia meets hip hop. Let the magic take your mind.

About The Herbaliser :
More than 18 years into their musical journey, The Herbaliser just keep getting bigger, stronger and better. It all began in the early 1990s when West London duo Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba discovered a shared passion for hip-hop, rare groove, funk and jazz. James Brown, DJ Premier, Lalo Schifrin, Pete Rock and David Axelrod were some of the heroes from their formative years. (…) Fast forward to 2008 and The Herbaliser decided to delve back to their funk roots, crafting songs featuring singer Jessica Greenfield, resulting in Same As It Never Was. Glossy and gritty, organic and eclectic, Same As It Never Was was a timeless soul record for a scrambled musical era. However, Jake and Ollie soon realised that what they did best was based around a harder, darker sound. Which led them to create their new album: There Were Seven. (read the complete biography here)

The Herbaliser about Paris DJs :
"We've always been really into the releases from Paris DJs, as well as followers of the website and of course the old Ninja-Obsession site. Julien has always focused on quality music so we're pleased to be included on this compilation."

About Wermonster :
Wermonster is an electronic musician and producer living in Berlin. After participating in numerous rock and jazz projects as a guitar and bass player, he started to create his own music in the mid-90s, experimenting with computers, loops, synths and samplers. Originally from the north east of France, he moved to Marseille in 2004 and started getting involved in the local hip-hop scene: making beats and working as sound assistant in different recording studios there. Always pushing his work further he has decided to move his lab to Berlin in 2009. After a few EPs on various labels, his first LP „Ghosts move slowly“, a blue and dusty-textured suite of electronic hip hop, is released by Exotic Pylon end-2012. Predominantly inspired by hip hop and saturated in textures from contemporary bass music, Wermonster's wide-screen production is soulfully psychedelic and laced with abstract textures and richly haunted atmospherics.

Wermonster about Paris DJs :
"Well it's quite an honor to be featured on one of your compilation. I've been listening regularly to Paris DJs mixes and podcasts pretty much since the beginning, and I guess got in a way influenced by all the beautifully eclectic music I heard there. Big up!"

The Ancient Astronauts are Kabanjak and Dogu, a bombastic production and DJ duo hailing from Cologne, Germany.

The cross-pollination and mash-up of ideas, sounds, styles, and a collaborative spirit are their modus operandi.

Glows In The Dark : official | bandcamp | facebook | juno | twitter | youtube

About Glows in the Dark :
Since 2007, Glows in the Dark have created avant-garde jazz fueled by the storytelling qualities of film. It’s no wonder, then, that the latest creations by the band’s leader, Scott Burton, have imported the entirely different but similarly story-based genre of hip-hop, drawing collaborations with emcees like Count Bass D, Jneiro Jarel, Jawwaad Taylor, John Robinson, and 20/20. Their forthcoming release celebrates that intersection of jazz and hip-hop, while their most current EP, Tides of War, features remixes of their 2010 album Beach of the War Gods produced by Count Bass D, Tim Gane (of Stereolab), and others, and Jneiro Jarel included one of his remixes in his JJ DOOM Mixtape for Lex Records in 2012. Taking cues and inspiration from everyone from J Dilla to Ennio Morricone to Yes, the band combines melody with chaos and processes the mix through its filter of five distinct personalities. By taking old films - like those of the kung fu and Italian crime variety - and adapting their story structures to music, Burton and company have come up with a unique songwriting process that leaves plenty of room for improvisation. In 2011, they joined Italian band Calibro 35 in recording music for the documentary Eurocrime!, directed by Mike Malloy, which was featured at the 2012 Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. In their collaborations with hip-hop artists, they take less of a back seat than merely being beat creators. Instead, they explore a band/emcee dialogue that seems unparalleled in either individual genre.

Glows in the Dark about Paris DJs :
"It's truly an honor for us to get the opportunity to spread our music through this compilation. Such a thrill to be included with all these great artists and original soundmakers."

About The Grits :
In their constant quest to create the fuzziest psychest funk known to man The Grits have teamed up with the screaming priest of psych, Joel Stones, to bring you "Heel and Toe". The Grits first met Joel whilst working on the Fumaça Preta album. In a quiet moment during recording The Grits head honcho, Stuart "Countryboy" Carter, whisked Joel away to record some raw, deep, dirty, nasty funk. A rare performance by Mr Stones in the English Language, and a scorching bag of greasy funk nuggets ensued.


French Press Release :
'Take The Chains Off Your Brains - Psychedelic Hip Hop, Funk & Jazz Grooves' est la 5ème compilation sortant des fourneaux du label Paris DJs. Mais c'est déjà la 2ème fois que le crew du Paris Djs Soundsystem s'aventure dans les méandres complexes de la culture hip hop après 'It's The New Hip Hop Thing', sorti en 2009 pour le magazine Vibrations (hélas disparu).

Après quatre compilations Afrofunk/Tropical sorties l'an passé, Paris DJs commence à explorer d'autres genres. L’équipe accueille Miska à bord de son vaisseau psychosonique, une néo-parisienne activiste de la scène hip hop internationale avec son blog Miska-Events. Notre objectif : sortir quatre compilations Hip Hop en l'espace de 12 mois (une compil psychédélique, une compil Jazz, une consacré aux rappeuses pour finir par une surprise…).

A l'instar des précédentes compilations Paris DJs, celle-ci a été conceptualisée et illustrée avant même d'avoir sélectionné le moindre morceau de musique. Le visuel est signé des dessinateurs Français Ben Hito et Bernard Bittler, une oeuvre originale rétro-futuriste fantastique qui fut publiée sur Internet et envoyée par email à des artistes du monde entier, en leur demandant de soumettre un ou des morceaux inspirés par ce design, ce titre et ce thème imposé.

Les contraintes étaient précises: Paris DJs cherchait du hip hop psychédélique, du funk ou jazz énigmatique avec des MCs, des beatmakers éclairés, des producteurs ramenant au goût du jour l'esprit du classique de 2005 de Edan, 'Beauty & The Beat', et bien évidemment toutes sortes de tueries dancefloor connectées aux diverses branches de la culture hip hop!

DES TONNES de disques et de mp3s ont atterri dans les bureaux de Paris DJs et de Miska, sur les hauteurs du Nord-Est groovy de la capitale. Un temps considérable fut passé à écouter des heures de beats et de chansons hip hop et funk, en cherchant les plus multicolores, et la sélection finale est un sacré trip psychonautique! Les auditeurs devraient pouvoir explorer des parties inconnues de leur cerveau, pendant que leurs mains sembleront fondre dans les reliefs du temps…
