TOWN BUSINESS: THE TRUE IMPORTANCE OF DJ SCREW’S GRAY TAPES
TOWN BUSINESS: THE TRUE IMPORTANCE OF DJ SCREW’S GRAY TAPES By Dafydd McKaharay (From Thee Krypteia No.2 2017) Anyone who has made compiled 90 minutes worth of songs to impress a lad or lass they like knows the import of the mixtape. Far more than a promotional tool, or a DJ showcase, the magic of the mixtape is the fact that it conveys a message in a very unique way. Just like the DJ mix that it imitates, its power is its ability to create a singular message from the sum of many parts. A collection of songs that joins forces to tell one story. It is easy to get lost in the obvious mystique of DJ Screw’s legendary “Gray Tapes”. The hypnotic, slow tempo often draws one into a narcosis, only heightened by the generational hiss and sibilance unintentionally created by both the process of slowing the music down and the archival limitations of Screw’s choice of 100 Minute Hi Bias Metal Maxell. It is, indeed, this psychedelia that made Robert Earl Davis Jr. famous as an innovator.
