The opening bars of Darkest Light are instantly recognisable to funk and hip-hop heads. Originally released on the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s Malik album, the track went on to become a defining hip-hop motif, sampled by Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Wreckx-N-Effect and many more. On the flip, Hihache emerged as a firm favourite as hip-hop culture exploded in the 1980s. Taken from the group’s iconic Soul Makossa album, its larger-than-life drum break became a foundational sample, most famously appearing in Biz Markie’s Nobody Beats The Biz, among countless others.\" - Strut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack 7\" vinyl pressing (\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eplease note\u003c\/span\u003e: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eside A: Darkest Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eside B: Hihache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition of 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Strut 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---PREORDER START---\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preorder-module\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"preorder\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"preorderpolicy\"\u003ePre-Order Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want to order additional items (\u003cb\u003eincluding other pre-orders\u003c\/b\u003e), please make separate orders.
