I already featured one of Spinbad’s classic hiphop mixes in an earlier post, but you gotta check out this mix. It’s easily the best 80’s mix I have ever heard – Spinbad applies his virtuoso turntablist talents to mixing, mashing, scratching, and rocking an awesome lineup of classic 80’s pop and rock n’ roll. Interspersed with hilarious snippets from 80’s movies, this mix will rock your next party and leave you laughing and rocking out at the same time. Originally recorded in 1995, this is the remastered CD-quality version that came out later. It doesn’t have as many tracks as the original tape, but sounds a lot better than the tape rips I’ve heard online.

Jantsen’s “Gutter Music” mix dates back to 2007, but I just recently discovered it and was immediately blown away by the perfect mix quality, the speaker-crushing bass, and truly creative remixing. It’s exciting to hear a mix that is nearly all original remixes, representing a creative work that transcends what we think of as a “DJ mix” much in the same way that Dangermouse’s “Gray Album” did. Grab this now and make sure you play it on a system that has a lot of BASS!
