When I opened up the most recent beat bin MRL ONE was producing for future releases — primarily eB83 solo projects — I began to get lost in the special body of work that Lolo, Moral One, and I had created through ALERT312’s sound over the past decade and a half. It’s special to have songs that still speak prophetically to our times, and art that is worth taking out of the proverbial memory crate.
So, like a moment we all know well—when we crack open boxes of memories in the basement—MRL ONE and I started to craft reimagined versions of ALERT312 songs. Using record samples built up over time, newly laced drum programming, and archival sound bites, we allowed each track to evolve into the newly adapted body of work we call Crate Collection One.
Similar to our collage-based art style, the compositions evolved as mash-ups, medleys, and newly inspired takes on songs that still speak profoundly — or are just simply a pure joy to flip. Like a photo album or show-flyer black book, this series is an ongoing project — a deep dive into eB’s composition books and the group’s deep record bins.
The first offering is The Master’s Atonement, and each track gives a nod to its original penmanship date, for all the heads out there who still rock with us.
While we work on new projects—both trio and solo—enjoy these newly adapted, soulful, boom-bap boxes of memories, now… re-spun.
