Granted permission to use any Jimi Hendrix samples they wished, this U.K. sextet released the funky If 60's Were 90's in 1994. The center of the outfit is Du Kane and Luke Baldry.

This recording is almost like hearing Jimi again for the first time. I accidentally heard one of the tracks while flipping through the busy FM radio dial one day. Being a big Hendrix fan, I marveled at how such an awesome piece of art had managed to escape me before. We're talking unmistakable Hendrix signature feel, masterfully interleaved with tasteful, beautifully done modern electronica. This album presents a sonic pioneer in a new setting.
I've played this CD hundreds of times. How can you tell a true classic? Because it still sounds just as fresh today as the day I first discovered it.

 Track List:

1. Comin' To Get You
2. Get Your Mind Together
3. If 60's Was 90's
4. Stone Crazy
5. Rilly Groovy
6. Happiness On The Wind
7. Sock It To Me
8. Feel The Heat
9. The Sea...Eventually  

Now the video clip shared by The Boss didn’t play here in the UK for me so I hunted for another but check that out too if you don’t know this project . . . . . I LOVED IT!

If 60s were 90s Beautiful People featuring JIMI HENDRIX official Video Continuum records

Directed by Richard Heslop ..Chilled out reworking of the Hendrix lyrical and melodical classic If 6 was 9 by Beautiful People, it was a sort of Enigma meets Jimi with 10cc bvs round at the Orbs house... we sampled loads of blues guitar from Voodoo Chile, we managed to lift Jimi's entire finale solo from Voodoo Chile and it fitted perfectly at the end..of this lovely tune. 

Shot in March 1994 video directed by Richard Heslop and partly shot at Richards house in Hammersmith and on location in Notting Hill. Features Jimi Hendrix Jnr as he was a friend of the band... tune created and  reworked by Du Kane and Luke Baldry in 1991 recorded at Velvet Moon Studios in Sussex.
