On April 24th, Theophilus London will release Timez Are Weird These Nights - The Remixes, which features new renditions of every song from the Brooklyn MC's debut album of the same name (minus The Remixes part, of course). The record includes a sparse but thumping rework of "Stop It" from Crookers, a head-nodding version of "Wine And Chocolates" courtesy of Linus Loves, and a nearly seven-minute, dancefloor-ready remix of "Love Is Real" by Fred Falke. Bloody Beetroots, Brodinski and others contribute as well. 

Timez Are Weird These Nights - The Remixes is available to stream in full exclusively on RollingStone.com and pre-order here.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
