Tall Black Guy – “Dance Forever” / “The Return Of Here & Now” (EP)
March 23, 2020
Hope you are safely tucked away in your [Coronavirus-free] fortress full of good snacks and solitude… Hey, if you have kids or other folks staying with you, that solitude part is not a given. They may not allow you much solitude, being cooped up at home just the same as you. And it’s not like they can just go outside any old time. If the kids are in schools like these Atlanta kids over here, then schooling is now virtual; and the homework is still due!
Good news is that the artists and producers and deejays are realizing they shouldn’t leave us… without a dope beat to step to. Maybe driven by cabin fever or by a desire give us ease in troubled times. Either way, folks like TBG are getting out that work! Here in the form of re-released classics. This post features the two-track trip – “Dance Forever” and “The Return Of Here & Now.”
But take a twirl to another back-in-the-day EP from TBG: “8 Miles To Moenart” too (earlier post for that here).

Tall Black Guy x Chaka Khan – “I Know You, I Live You Re​-​Rub” feat. Karizma (Kaytronik)
March 3, 2020
Prediction: Every grown folk jam opportunity that is worth anything going into the spring and summer WILL HAVE THIS BUMPING! Once again, Sir TBG is hipping us to what’s gonna be the hippest; and we are putting it up for you. See how we look out for y’all.
And this is an extra tasty taste. All we got was notification and links in the inbox. But then we went looking, REALLY looking, and found a snippet of what is available for you to reserve now. Listen above, and imagine the barbecues, house sets, parties in the park, old-to-the-new swing outs, or just you rolling dolo on a perfect afternoon with these grooves on deck! Linking this below.
Don’t sleep. But if you sleep, make it a quick nap. Don’t be late, but if you are, be fashionably fly with it. And if you sleep on this AND you are late to the party… maaaaan… It’s alright. Just come groove & be chill with all the fly, well-rested ninjas and Honeyz. Ha!
I Know You, I Live You For Sure is the first single from Tall Black Guy’s Remixes & Tings Vol. 1 collection released in 2019. This single represents his interpretation of a Chaka Khan favorite, and adds a modern vibration to the 80’s classic that would even make Queen Chaka herself proud. In the arena of remixes, this record solidifies Tall Black Guy as one of the best to ever practice the craft. The pulsating drums, and Chaka’s vocals weaving through the sonic landscape leave the listener in a trance moving without thought, and sweating without effort. The extended version of this new classic is sure to be in every vinyl lovers rotation.
Lastly, Tall Black Guy teamed up with Karizma (Kaytronik) for the B Side. A remix of a remix has resulted in a new House Head favorite known as “Love Dubâ€. There’s genius in being able to capture the vastness in small things, and Kaytronik has done just that. “His house music ears heard a pocket, and he just did his thingâ€, says TBG about Kaytroinik’s first encounter with the track. Tall Black Guy says, “when I heard what he did with it, I knew it had to be on the singleâ€. Now, the public has a chance to own what many will consider to be a part of music history.

Tall Black Guy – “A Franklin Black Excursion” (EP)
February 15, 2018
Always interesting to see where producers ‘go’ when they let their minds wander. Rhythm Roulette would not have done this justice. Didn’t really even know it was going down like this ’til TBG hit us in the inbox with a note that the cooking was done and the plate was served. Truly an “Excursion”… Go on the trip with him.

Detroit Artist-Producer Tall Black Guy Speaks On His ‘Playlist Retreat’ Experience (Video)
April 7, 2017
At first, watching this we’re going, “Really, Tall Black Guy. You feel the need to tell folks WHO The Magnificient DJ Jazzy Jeff is.” Then we think about it… Jeff has had an INCREDIBLE career that spans DECADES… appreciated by fans who were barely walking (or not even conceived) when he was with The Fresh Prince on the reg. So cool. Also cool, and very appreciated, is this clip of TBG speaking on how dope it was being at DJ Jazzy Jeff’s annual Playlist Retreat.
Dope! If you look back on here, TBG did a li’l som’n som’n on the 2015 event #DownSinceDayOne

14KT + Tall Black Guy – “Chop Field”
October 28, 2015
They way the song came about is as dope, if not doper, than the actual single itself! Let Tall Black Guy tell you the story behind “Chop Field” coming into being…
So one of the coolest experiences happened this weekend with my homie 14KT. While he was on his travel excursion across Europe, KT came to visit me in Norwich where I reside at the moment. This was our first time meeting in person after hearing about each others work and talking over the internet for the last few years. Whilst discussing ideas on how to make a new track, we decided to take our field recorders outside and record all kinds of sounds around the city of Norwich. This is a work in progress. Here’s what we came up with. Look out for the KT x TBG collabo coming in the near future. Peace!!
Tall Black Guy – “Far From Human”
May 13, 2015
Tell me. Why, why…why’d Tall Black Guy flip “Human Nature” (gotta sing it in your head like Michael Jackson [RIP] to get the effect)? Haaaa… good stuff though. Stream and hear for yourself.
Howdy folks, it has been a while since I uploaded a new track. I was super inspired by Just Blaze’s flip of MJ’s – Human Nature. I wanted to give it another shot. I flipped it previously for my TBG Vs MJ Remix Suite a few years back. Let me know what you all think.
– TBG
Upon listening, you kinda get the title of the flip track, too, right?

Tall Black Guy x Eric Lau x kidkanevil x Mr. Thing – “Thing Leaves The House” (Instrumental EP)
April 18, 2015
Great product above. In honor of RSD (Record Store Day) 2015, Tall Black Guy, Eric Lau, kidkanevil and Mr. Thing put out “Thing Leaves The House.” Can’t tell it better than DJ Gilla did for the First Word Records write-up:
Running an independent record label in 2015 is a tricky, (and some would say foolish) task. It is of course, a privilege to be given the responsibility to get an artist’s music out into the world, but the label’s side of the job is more about spreadsheets and sales ledgers than champagne and cigars. That is why last year’s Record Store Day was genuinely one of the most memorable and important days in the life of First Word. We released our first RSD release – Nothing Leaves The House, a project that was dreamt up on RSD 2012, and finally shared two years later. Unlike most records we release, we were able to be there as music fans discovered the record in the shops – an experience that was inspiring, humbling and ever so slightly addictive.
So we were always going to return with part two in 2015, this time with a twist. A year on from the day the trio of Eric Lau, Tall Black Guy and kidkanevil visited Mr. Thing’s collection to sample his records (where nothing could leave the house), we gathered them at London’s Love Vinyl record shop where he had brought one record from his collection for each producer. Their challenge was to make a beat from the individually chosen records: the results massively exceeded our expectations. Originally Mr. Thing was going to make a track from something in his collection too, but the three producers decided that he should go through the same process as they would. They picked a record from the racks of the shop (they had to find one he didn’t already own first) and his beat was created from that. The result is 4 tracks that truly capture the personalities of each producer, and a record that is born out of a heartfelt love of records – we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
We’ll be back for round 3 in 2016…
DJ Gilla, April 2015
BONUS: There’s a RSD mini-documentary cued up for you after the jump!

The Black Opera – “Beginning Of The End” feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow (Prod. By Tall Black Guy) [Video]
November 17, 2014
Oh yeah. TBO is the way you get things started. Your day. Your week. Hell, make it “The Great Year” (album link below). Mind-body exercise with Georgia Anne Muldrow taking us to breaks; over a beat banged out by Tall Black Guy. Deep dopeness…
“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
The Black Opera enlist the Queen Georgia Anne Muldrow to reinforce the multilinear concept of the beginning and the end. This songs nuance stands for power, rebirth, triumph, completion, and exultation. It is TBO’s audible Alpha and Omega.”

Tall Black Guy – “In My Head”
January 15, 2014
Ha! Tall Black Guy chopped a sample and dropped this jam “In My Head,” and he was sick! So is this track, man. Step it up, y’all. It’s 2014, and producers are doing the damn thing… even on sick leave! And now a word from the producer:
Howdy folks, I hope all is well. Today was supposed to be a cool birthday for me but, it was kind of a bummer do to the fact that I have a cold. The good thing is that I was browsing through the beat INN and I was listening to other peoples weekly chops and I got inspired. So I decided to make a beat in bed with just my laptop and earphones. At least I got to take my frustration out this sample. Enough of me rambling. Hope you enjoy!!
– TBG
Get well soon.

Peace and Thank you for listening.
