HYPNOTYK LOST TAPE (MULTICOLORED SPLATTER)

We are in 1994, Dj Clyde left the hip-hop Paris-based group Assassin and launched the 1st French Mixtapes but he sees even further and launches into the production for the 1st time since he became a hip-hop activist. His set up seems very simple but unusual and innovative for the time especially in France with a SP1200 and two S950 and a maximum of Soul, Funk, Jazz vinyls that he digs with his crew Hypnotyk Djs (Dj Clyde, Dj Max, Dj Asko).

The project is also exceptional because it comes from a cassette archived by Clyde of beats sent for the album "Paris Sous Les Bombes" of the famous group Suprême NTM (3rd album of the group). Of course you will not find the beats released in “Paris Sous Les Bombes” but all the unselected gems that reveals the talent and the advance that Dj Clyde had taken in the production at that time.

More than an instrumental album or beat tape, this project is a testimony of the history of Hip-Hop and moreover of Beatmaking in France in the 90s which was not supposed to see the day.

The cover is made by the talented graffiti artist Cyril "Kongo" of the famous and historical crew of graffiti artists MAC (founded in 1986 in Montreuil).
