Primate Pra-Ka-Ta ft. Acid Monkey

Mashup

[Beat Drop: Chopped 60s Soul Breakbeat meets Dembow Rimshots]
Pra-ka-ta, pra-ka-ta, pra-ka-ta, pum!
[Voice Tag: Stuttered and scratched]
i-i-i-it's Gotan, baby!
(Make it squelch!)
Sube, dale, rompe, rompe!

[Verse 1: Spanglish Cut-up Flow & Raspy Dominican Lead]
Found the silver box in the bloque (bloque!)
Push the button, deja el drama, sin toque
Ese bajo ta pesao, knobs on t-t-top
La bocina ta que explota, wait for the drop
Turn the dial, derrochando la energía
Acid in the veins, cambia ya la sintonía
(Make it smile)

[Build Up: Snare roll intensifies, 303 Filter Cutoff opening up, high resonance squeal]
El que no aguante la nota...
[Vocal Loop: Rising pitch]
Wait for the monkey.
Que se quite del camino...
Wait for the drop.
Tra-tra-tra, prende el motor!
(Banana for the beat!)

[Drop: Heavy Big Beat Groove, Aggressive Acid Bass & Swing Brass Stabs]

[Chorus: Mashup Hook, LOUD]
Pra-ka-ta, monkey see!
Pra-ka-ta, monkey do!
Mueve to' con movimiento, play the three-oh-three!
Cero bulto, cero cuento (Wiki-wiki-Acid!)
Pra-ka-ta, de lao a lao
Monkey play the bloque alterao!
Dale con to', dale con to'
Pra-ka-ta, pra-ka-ta, squelch, ¡PUM!

[Turntablism Break: Fast Cut-and-Paste]
[Scratching the words "Acid" and "Pra-ka-ta"]
Wiki-wiki-Pra-ka-ta.
Acid pa' la pista.
(Rompe!)

[Verse 2: Dembow Groove with Breakbeat Fills]
Sube más el volumen, let the vinyl bleed
La locura se desata, planted the acid seed
No le baje ni un poquito, mantenlo en tensión
El dembow y el tres-cero-tres, pure distortion
Muévelo pa' la derecha, scratching on the breaks
Tamo activo mi gente, feel the earthquake
Tra-tra-tra, rompe el control
(Wiki-wiki-Acid para el soul!)

[Sample Collage Bridge: Drums drop out, atmospheric tape delay]
(Zookeeper): He’s got the... he’s got the machine!
(Dominican Voice): Dale pa'l piso, sin compromiso!
(Hippie): Let him... let him groove, man.
(Dominican Voice): Este ritmo te da el aviso!
(Zookeeper): Get that out of his hands!
(Both): Banana pa'l beat, banana pa'l beat!

[Buildup 2: Reverse Cymbal Swells, 808 sub-bass winding up]
Right here. (Eh, eh, eh, eh)
Right now. (Mira como choca)
Monkey time. (La pista ta loca!)

[Drop 2: Maximum Energy, Distorted 303 Acid Lines over Dembow Kick]
[Aggressive Stutter Edits & High-pitched "laser" synth stabs]

[Chorus: Repetitive Hook, Catchy and Loud]
Pra-ka-ta, monkey see!
Pra-ka-ta, monkey do!
Mueve to' con movimiento, play the three-oh-three!
Cero bulto, cero cuento (Wiki-wiki-Acid!)
Pra-ka-ta, de lao a lao
Monkey play the bloque alterao!
Dale con to', dale con to'
Pra-ka-ta, pra-ka-ta, squelch, ¡PUM!

[Outro: Beat continues, fading filters, loops interlocked and degrading]
Monkey play the... pra-ka-ta.
Rómpelo, rómpelo... three-oh-three.
(it's Gotan, baby)
Suscep-ti-ble... al... PUM!
[Sound Effect: Vinyl stop, slowing down to a halt]
[Spoken Word Outro: Documentary Sample]
Quite extraordinary.
