Russel's Phat Grooves
The Official Gorillaz Fansite, June 2001
Welcome to Russel's Phat Grooves. In this section, Russel takes us through some of the top tunes in his collection. Russel will be giving us a few more items from his collection in the near future, but here's a few of his current faves...
Phi Life Cypher
Herbaholics 12" Single
Russel says: "My boys Phi Life and Cypher are dropping this phat tune the end of the month. Y'all wanna do yourself a favor and pick up some of their fresh flavor. Peace."
Redman
Malpractice
Russel says: "Yo, my brother Redman knew that I was good to go. Me and Dan have put together a phat re-mix of his hard hitting anthem 'Let's Get Dirty.' And for once when I heard someone say 'Let's get dirty,' I knew that it wasn't Murdoc I was hearin' with some poor girl trapped in his Winnebago! Peace. Russ. We outta here."
Chaka Khan
I'm Every Woman: The Best Of Chaka Khan
Russel says: "Gotta have all the classics"
Phi Life Cypher
Millennium Metaphors
Russel says: "The new PHI LIFE 12" will be a remix of HERBAHOLIX which appears on the LP. Also two new tracks will feature on it RHYME MURDER and THE ILL FORCE. It's sounding really nice."
Mark B & Blade
The Unknown
Russel says: "Those guys have got it goin' on..."
Deltron 3030
Deltron 3030
Russel says: "I just dunno how Del projected this awesome collection of tunes back to Dan and our time. It's reassuring to know that not only will civilisation exist in the year 3030 but that time travel will be possible, for ghosts or music or both or something, you know?"
Tommy Boy Records
Russel says: "Tommy boy have been kicking it since back in the day! When Del first laid the Tommy Boy double album collection on me when we was at school and I heard Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa for the first time, well I nearly had to get myself some fresh under ware!. This has been and remains to be one of the homes for true quality homies, from Stetsasonic to De La Soul and Queen Latifah to Dan the Automator!"
