Incredible Bongo Band was formed by MGM A&R Michael Viner in 1972 to supplement the soundtrack to the virtually anonymous B film ‘The Thing With Two Heads’, the ‘IBB’ went from loose studio collective to an instrumental pop covers consortium, interpreting classics of the day in their own inimitable percussive fashion.

The groups cover of `Apache`, originally made famous by The Shadows, is simply legendary in the world of dance music.  Not only arguably one of the most sampled tracks of all time and a staple for Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash as they invented the art of DJing at the Bronx block parties of the `70s, it has become an all-time hip hop and breakers anthem and is revered as the original break of all original breaks with the rhythms of this LP coining the term Breakbeat.  Apache has been sampled by: Missy Elliot, Coldcut, Will Smith, Goldie, Jurassic 5, Moby, Run DMC, Sugarhill Gang, Beastie Boys and Massive Attack and many many more…

So, now is your chance to follow in the footsteps of these greats, by remixing one of the other break-heavy tracks by IBB, ‘Last Bongo In Belgium’.  To get involved please visit http://records.mrbongo.com/ibb-remix/
