In celebration of Arrow Films' new 4K restoration of the seminal hip hop flm 
Wild Style, Azorean-Canadian producer and DJ Jorun Bombay steps up with a 
specially commissioned megamix cut across two sides of a 7"
Featuring recently discovered unreleased material, cut up with sections of the 
remastered soundtrack, expert turntablism, and added live instrumentation, Jorun 
shines a new light on this pioneering piece of hip hop history.
Having released music since the mid-'80s on labels such as Soundweight, Diggers 
With Gratitude, and JBOR Records, Jorun also produces and scores music for flm and 
television in the USA. He's been hosting his infuential DJ podcast 'Funkbox Reload' for 
over a decade, regularly showcasing his DJ and remixing skills, which have landed 
him several key production jobs, including for the documentary 'Mixtape' directed by 
Omar Acosta on Paramount Plus. It's through 'Funkbox Reload' that Arrow Films 
became aware of Jorun's talents. They reached out and suggested Jorun put together 
a megamix, giving him access to the masters and unreleased material. Given the 
opportunity to remix such an iconic slice of hip hop's heritage, Jorun has treated the 
project with the care and respect it warranted. As he states, "Seeing Wild Style in the 
1980s was a life changer simply for the fact that it introduced the world to an art form 
that most people outside of New York didn't know existed or could exist. This culture 
was called 'hip hop', and it was the frst time a form of music was made out of 
everything surrounding it and turned into a collage. Wild Style was the frst of its kind, 
probably in the history of American music."
The flm served as a gateway to hip hop culture and the elements it was made up of, 
be it rapping, DJing, breakdancing, or grafti writing, and watching it, whether at the 
cinema, on rental VHS, or a bootleg copy from a friend, was a truly inspirational 
moment for many. One of the most important scenes for future DJs, as outlined by 
Jorun and DJs including the UK's Mr Thing, is the kitchen scene and DJ routine 
featuring Grandmaster Flash. As Jorun mentions, "the scene with Grandmaster Flash 
in the kitchen was the epitome of what the culture stood for and where it was about to 
go from 1983 onward - home studios. It made the goal achievable thanks to that 
scene infuencing so many kids at the time."
More than a simple DJ megamix, Jorun hasn't limited himself to the use of just two 
turntables. Instead, he has added live instrumentation, such as bass, Rhodes, and 
conga hits to the 'basketball rap', "to give it more of a blaxploitation 'rumble in the 
street' mood", alongside using the unreleased material to masterful effect. "I don't like 
to be strictly tied to just turntablism. There are no rules when making music", he 
refects. Using the same ethos of freedom and individual musical expression of the 
time, Jorun has delivered a respectful, authentic, and inspired homage to the legacy of 
the flm and its soundtrack.
