Enter The 37th Chamber on Cassette

Originally released in 2009 on Fat Beats Records, Enter the 37th Chamber transformed iconic Wu-Tang Clan songs into gritty, fully live instrumentals inspired by the cinematic production style of RZA. What began as an experimental tribute quickly became a worldwide cult classic embraced by DJs, record collectors, hip-hop fans, and members of Wu-Tang themselves. After hearing the project, RZA famously said: "This is American music right here." Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair blends vintage soundtrack music, early reggae, and raw analog soul into what the group calls "Cinematic Soul." Over the years, the album has taken on a life of it's own, heard everywhere from independent record shops and radio stations to restaurants, film sets, and even theme parks across multiple continents. Nearly two decades later, Enter the 37th Chamber remains one of the defining releases in the Fat Beats catalog and a landmark recording in instrumental hip-hop and cinematic soul. Stripped down and intentional, this anniversary cassette edition of Enter the 37th Chamber let's the imagery do the talking. Housed in a clear cassette case with an OBI strip, the cassette itself features the album's iconic Chinese opera mask artwork printed full bleed on one side and a black-and-white band photo on the other. No frills, just the music and the art front and center.
