Catnap – In the Valley of the Shadow of Dub

I mixed up some vocal dubstep and new school dub to create this mix.  A lot of dubstep bores me, but I’ve heard some amazing mixes from DJ Zhao, Squincy Jones, and Shiva that have shown me that it leaves a lot of room for creativity.  So I tried to bring mine, with tracks from Caspa, L-Wiz, Dr. Israel, Leftfield, Kode 9, Dubblestandart, Modselektor and more… like Lil’ Wayne and Peter Tosh.

I’ve been working on this one for a while, going through hundreds of dubstep tracks to find the few I really liked and that work well together.  It came together this weekend, reflecting  how I’ve been feeling… in the Valley of the Shadow of Dub.

DJ Dopeshoes is a member of the Hometown Blends crew and a selector with an excellent taste in hiphop, funk, breaks, and soul.  Sole Food: Cold Bologna, Mayonnaise, & Bread features a lot of her personal favorites in both old school, and recent hip hop as well as funk and soul.  In her own words “This is a largely retrospective mixtape for afternoons, bbqs, and whenever the hell else you feel like it.”  I will definitely be rocking it at my next BBQ, and so should you.
