Over the past few months, Dublin label All City released their LA 10" x 10 series, with 10-inch releases by the likes of DaM-FunK, Samiyam and Exile. Just when you thought it was over, All City has released a bonus edition, this time featuring Sa-Ra Creative Partners member Shafiq. Though credited to Shafiq, the track also features Sa-Ra member Om'Mas Keith — it is edition #0 and will be released August 9th. As with Sa-Ra's Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love and Shafiq's Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka, two of the best, most innovative R&B releases of 2009, "DNA (Splice Mix 3)" is a warped, funky chunk of avant-R&B. An instrumental track, "DNA (Splice Mix 3)" sounds like a Madlib outtake or a leftover New Amerykah beat, with its inflamed drums, killer bass line, sporadic vocal samples and gently bumping guitar chords.
