Download: Pharcyde's Passin' Me By (Hot Chip Remix)

Last month Delicious Vinyl Records released The Pharcyde Bobby Evans Mix, a 40 track megamix offering a tapas-like sampling of their more popular songs, served up mostly from their first two LPs Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde and Labcabincalifornia. The longest track is just under 3 minutes ("Runnin' Phillipians RMX"), while the shortest is just 19 seconds long ("Soul Flower" remixed by Dogs B*ll*cks). Some individual songs like "Soulflower" are cut into multiple chunks, each with a different remix/flavor.

Says Bobby Evans: "With this mix I had complete access to the Pharcyde's full catalog. I was playing with the idea of doing this mix strictly chronologically but in the end I didn't want to pin it down like that. Instead I trawled through ever nook and cranny and came up with a playlist of which songs I wanted to use and how I wanted them to flow. Then I started figuring out ways of working in the more esoteric bits and pieces I found, so that instead of just a continuous mix of Pharcyde records there are interviews and live versions phasing in and out. It gives the mix as a whole more peaks... Mixing these records, I really felt how they were finding their own place in L.A.'s hip hop scene of the early to mid-'90s. It was great working with multiple versions of these songs. I was able to mix in four versions of Runnin, four versions of Passin' Me By, and five versions of Soul Flower! The limitations of the technology back then defines the sound. J-Swift's loops are heavily layered, his breaks utilize live drums sounds. Everything was on tape and all the sequencing had to be done on whatever equipment they happened to have. There's a looseness and a flow to the music that you seldom find on today's rigidly programmed rap records. So the fact that I was just a kid when these records first came out made putting this mix together was an incredible experience."

It's a great mix to get "the girls by the hearts and the n****s by the nuts, ear, tongue and butts."
