Caught In The Middle of A 3-Way Mix - a tribute to The Beastie Boys' 'Paul's Boutique' album

Caught In The Middle of a Three way Mix

Check this shit out. An amazing work of art taken from an original work of art...I'm talking about the Beastie Boys- "Paul's Boutique", in my opinion one of the greatest albums of all time. I've been rocking that shit since high school. Day one I knew it was special. Today it's considered a critical masterpiece from a time when samples were taken and used to make brand new songs that were way ahead of their time. Here's something fresh and free as a tribute to Adam Yauch aka MCA from a group of fans. Damn this shit is dope.

"Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st August) 3 years ago Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food had the idea of collaborating on a version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album made entirely from the original sample sources, shortly after Moneyshot aired his mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ album in the same way.
Finally the result is here, titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ - each of them have taken a third of the album to work on and combined their efforts into a mix that will make you hear it in a new way. Aside from the original sample sources they’ve included commentary from the Beasties, vintage interviews, demo versions and much more.
The mix was over half way completed when they heard the tragic news of MCA‘s death in May so the impetus to finish it was instantly doubled and new meaning given to the project. It goes without saying that this is also a tribute to Adam Yauch and the legacy he left behind and we hope it will be embraced by Beastie fans around the globe.
