After posting Jack’s latest mix, I felt I also had to include his previous one which is every bit as good. I have rocked out to this mix many times while riding around the city. Same delicious electro-indie-house as the other one – get it now!
Here’s a mix from a good buddy of mine, DJ Shapeshifter of Columbus, Ohio. It’s a great mix of some of this year’s best electro / techno / indie tunes – super sexy and funky. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!
I discovered this great DJ mix recently on NewMixes.com. From Vienna, Germany’s “The Dog’s Bollocks” radio show on FM4 hosted by the Slack Hippy, this mix was done by guests the Roots Rockers, aka Doc Holiday and Uwe Kaa. It is a fairly unique and awesome blend of classic reggae riddims mashed-up with classic hiphop from the Pharcyde, Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Busta Rhymes, and more. About 2/3rds of the way through, they drop some siiiick reggae-jungle, too! This is one of those rare DJ mixes that I think is just PERFECT in every way; vibes, selection, rarities… wow. The Pharcyde and Method Man remixes are instant classics and undoubtably rare; I for one have never heard them before! If you love hiphop and reggae, download this right now.
You know Santogold, right? Yeah, you do. It’s about time she drop that album, right? Come on, Santi! To hold you over until then, I got my paws on some good stuff. I call it a “super mystery bonus” because I don’t know the real title. From a recent live performance, in Santogold’s words, “here’s a new one, currently a demo.” ***Edit: The folks at Trash Menagerie are “pretty certain” the title is “Anne.”*** Santogold – Untitled Demo (Live) – 3:06 /// 5.69MB /// 256kbps mp3
I searched long and hard to get my hands on this classic mixtape! Wisconsin-based DJ Anonymous released it via Massive Magazine back in 1999, dropping all of the filthy, stomping, pimp-alicious house tracks that made DJ Funk, CZR, Cajmere, and others the Chicago legends we know them as today. B-More Bass, Detroit Ghettotech, and pretty much the whole dance mashup scene have their roots in this music.
*Edit 5.15.09 – One of my readers posted a better version in the comments section. I have updated the link with this version – it’s EQ’d better for mo’ booty bumpin. Enjoy, and thank you Ed.* Download this tape now – one of my favorites for over A DECADE!
I just finished up my latest DJ mix. I was inspired by all the women who are heating up the international underground with a combination of MC skills and electro beats. As such, this mix is about them and not me, so I kept the mixing as minimal as possible in order to show off the tracks. Still, I think they all go together pretty well.
