For over 20 years, DJ Dave Paul has been an integral part of hip-hop and DJ culture. In the early 90s, he launched the now legendary publication, The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine, and in 1995, Paul transformed the magazine into a record label. The company was named "one of the fifteen independent labels that matter," according to Rolling Stone, and the label's Return of the DJ series was ranked by Spin Magazine as #25 in their "The 90 Greatest Albums of the 90's" (Sept. 1999 issue), receiving a higher rating than Gold & Platinum albums by Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Green Day, and Fatboy Slim. Dave Paul has appeared on the front cover of Billboard magazine and is featured in the motion picture Scratch. Mr. Paul has DJ'ed throughout the US, toured Europe, released over 100 projects on his record label, and currently produces theme parties.

NEW EDIT ALERT: free download at my website. URL below.

I was alway a fan of Sly Stone (r.i.p.) and also a fan of Jesse Johnson. So when they linked up on this song Crazay in 1986 I was thrilled. This was always a tough song to play at gigs as there was really no easy way to mix in or mix out of it. It's been on my list to make an edit of this song and upon the passing of Sly Stone I figured I should take the time and get it done. After editing the album version I decided I would do an edit of the remix version as well. Both versions are at their original bpms (both 113bpm).
