MADVILLAIN - "Strange Ways" - Gorilla Glock - Promo Remix & Operation: Chat Noir - Mixed By Gorilla Glock (Sergent Records/Stones Throw)

First and foremost, shout-out to John Memorex at Beat Tape Co-Op for initially (unknowingly) peeping me to this fantastic audio-visual remix. Gorilla Glock AKA Gorilla Glockenstein AKA Calhoun AKA Mac Dough is a "French DJ, beat-maker, radio host, crate digger, and Hip-Hop activist," according to Discogs. He's also, the founder of Sergent Records, as well as a self-described "distributor, vinyl broker, and artist management" agent. While the details are still a bit fuzzy and likely, intentionally mysterious, Gorilla Glock has been releasing music since about 2012; first as Calhoun AKA Mac Dough and since roughly 2014, as Gorilla Glock exclusively. Gorilla Glock is a member of Saskwatch Iron with emcees Magnetic & Tofu, as well as Chat Noir, his crew with Odweeyne & Jeremie ILL. Sergent Records' latest release, Operation: Chat Noir - Mixed By - Gorilla Glock is a 32-track remix project compiled and released by Sergent Records in "tribute to the strong Japanese Hip-Hop Movement : ども ありがとう ございます."
