Galaxy Sound Co.: Black Hole 8 (The Blackbyrds, Tom Brock) Vinyl 7"

"Galaxy Sound Co imprint Blackhole drops a tasty new donut, number 8 in the series, that features a pair of tidy edits of some classic cuts & is cop-on-sight. 2 sides built squarely for heads who know their source material. Side A’s 'Mysterious Vibes' comes from Action (1977), the later-era The Blackbyrds LP produced by Donald Byrd. By this point the group had fully locked into that hazy jazz-funk pocket—rhodes, bassline glide, & drums that feel tailor-made for loops. It’s been a quiet weapon for producers: Kurious ('I’m Kurious'), Paris ('The Days of Old'), plus later flips from Big K.R.I.T. & Dom Kennedy. The Jazz Dub leans into that—stretching the groove, letting the atmosphere breathe, keeping it playable. Flip side is certified soul-collector territory. Tom Brock’s 'When There’s Nothing Left…' is lifted from I Love You More and More (1974), produced by Barry White & Gene Page. Lush, aching, full orchestration—exactly why Just Blaze flipped it for Jay-Z’s 'Girls, Girls, Girls' off The Blueprint. One of those samples that instantly connects eras. This isn’t just a 'nice edit' 45—it’s a bridge between jazz-funk heads, soul collectors & hip-hop producers. Both sides rooted in records that already did damage, now reworked for the floor. For the bags, not the wall." - Galaxy Sound Co.
