Oregon Beatmaker Shaolin Luciano's "Nightcrawler" Remix Adds Atmosphere to a Modern Boom-Bap, Flow-of-Consciousness Classic

[Terence White]

Shaolin Luciano's remix of Le Zeppo and Double Profit's "Nightcrawler" is an absolute whirlwind of calculated vicious street tale lyrics complemented by such a beat that perfectly solidifies a polished rawness feel throughout the song. Fans of Roc Marciano, Crimeapple, Daniel Son, Knowledge the Pirate, and Conway will enjoy this track and Le Zeppo and Shaolin Luciano's upcoming full length album.

Review by @44faced: 

Fans of the Wu-Tang Clan, Roc Marciano, Crimeapple, Daniel Son, Knowledge the Pirate and Conway should lock their ears onto Shaolin Luciano. His Bandcamp is a remix showcase that any boom bap enthusiast would argue that he’s making “improvements” not just “remixes” to a whole array of music: from slowed-down drum ‘n’ bass classics inverted into neo-boom-bap masterpieces. The most recent remix effort is Shaolin remix single of Le Zeppo and Double Profit’s “Nightcrawler.” Crisp snap-n-crack drums coupled with a melancholy, Taxi Driver-esque soundscape mellow brass loop, giving a whole new vibe to the initial release. With the new atmosphere to the legendary flow-of-consciousness rapping of Le Zeppo and DP, after listening to this remix, you’ll never want to go back to the original.
