Hendrix had just taken London by storm with a BBC session that rocked the music world, cementing him as one of the most influential musicians from his era and Gered Mankowitz captured this historical moment at his legendary Masons Yard Studio.

Director Stephen Kijak takes us back to the villa called Nellcote at Villefranche-sur-Mer in the South of France where the Rolling Stones wrote and recorded their seminal classic, Exile On Main Street. While watching the extraordinary film you get a sense of the turmoil and emotion that went into this record that sounds far removed from the band’s prior work.

They take songs that are legendary, like Led Zeppelin’s famous “Immigrant Song,” add a twisted beat that swallows you whole, and BANG! you’ve got a sick mix that even your Pops can appreciate. That is exactly what Streetlab’s Bootleg Remixes (Vol.1) gives listeners.
