Armand Hammer" [Following contributions from L.A.-based avant-garde composer William Basinski and legendary London producer Matthew Herbert, Hatis Noit’s Aura Reworks series continues with a re-interpretation of "Jomon" by producer Preservation (Mos Def, RZA, MF Doom) and cult NY rap duo Armand Hammer (billy woods & ELUCID). “Robert Raths from Erased Tapes reached out to me to show love for my work on billy woods’ album Aethiopes. I had been listening to a lot of music on Erased Tapes while living in Hong Kong and working on my album Eastern Medicine Western Illness. When he introduced me to Hatis Noit, I was impacted by her powerful audio and visual art form. I didn’t want to manipulate her stunning vocal, so I sought to bridge sonic time periods through my re-envisioning. I invited Armand Hammer to collaborate and they brought it full circle.” — Preservation “I welcomed the opportunity to work with Preservation again, so when he hit me up I was excited to hear what he was cooking up with her. I know that he is always doing the unexpected but even so, I was blown away when I heard the work-in-progress. The energy and vibrations are off the charts, so I just tried to meet them there.” — billy woods, Armand Hammer] [0:25:08] YZ - "Thinking of a Master Plan" [0:29:55] Ghost'N'Jay - "What Do Ye Want (feat Ri Ra)" - Put The Needle On The Record • WFMU 2009 Marathon Mix/Irish Hip-Hop Record [Iriish hip-hop - 2006 single via All City Records featured on the 2009 WFMU marathon mix CD] [0:32:14] Dinco - "Here and Now" [Dinco as in Dinco D of Leaders of The New School fame - on track with excellently reworking of Temptations "My Girl" sample] [0:36:04] Smoky Kun - "Chucky" [0:38:00] Wes Phili - "Make Dollar Bleed Change (feat.
