It’s taken three years for Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food to construct their own version of the Beastie Boys’ album Paul’s Boutique (aka one of the greatest albums ever) entirely out of the original songs sampled on the album of which there are 150. Inspired by Moneyshot’s Check Your Head album along the same lines, the result is Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix, a hour long reconstruction and homage to the album and the Beasties which also features interviews with the band, demos and quotes. I can’t really imagine a better tribute to MCA, who passed away a few months ago. Artwork by Jim Mahfood.
