If you're anything like me and you like to keep on top of all the hip new music coming out these days, then you'll be familiar with Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps (or The Rite of Spring). Released in 1913, the Rite of Spring quickly became a hit amongst classical music hipsters and composer wankers, and deals with the story of a girl dancing herself to death at a pagan ritual of sorts. However, dancing to death along with Stravinsky's vision of this music is not nearly as easy as dancing in general to Tettix's vision.

Tettix is a self-proclaimed very friendly musician from Atlanta, and what he's done here is simply amazing.

He has taken The Rite of Spring from it's free domain, remixed it, sampled it, and added some awesome beats to it. The story remains the same, but the delivery excels in being epic. Without much else to say than "This is a goddamn remix of a classical composition, listen to it!" I'll leave on the note that this is easily one of my favourite finds on the internet.

Essentially this is a 'beats album'. Those unfamiliar with the terminology of the get-hoe, that means focus here is on the creation of the beats more than the meaning or structure of the song. It's a good thing then that DJ Slippery Eeel has made for us some fantastic hip hop beats, as well as some decent songs (song songs). 


The beats found on The Tapes are super chill, and make you feel nothing like a jive turkey. Some where between gangsta rap, trip hop and garage you'll find that spot that makes you feel like a you're wearing sunglasses at night, surrounded by women, in a bombed out den on the side of town your mother doesn't want you to be on - and that's what this album makes me feel like. 

You'll hear some create mash ups that'll leave you in familiar territory, as well as some more obscure raps coming in and out, and have a massive party all the while. Sippin' on champagne, here's to Slippery Eeel.
