DJ’s Vinroc and Shortkut from the incredible Beat Junkies crew mixed this set back in 2003, the first in a seven-volume series of mixes of jazzy r & b and classic hiphop cuts, blended and remixed with  precision.  This is one of those low-key but deeply soulful joints that’s perfect for a late night seduction or rolling a spliff and letting your mind drift to the days of wayback.   It’s got both mood and depth, ensuring many replays on your beatbox.  The ladies have been both been giving me a lot of love recently, and hurtin’ my heart at the same time, and this mix is perfect soundtrack for this kind of “new york moment.”

Mmmmm, I haven’t heard a deep house mix THIS delicious in a long time.  Based out of Columbus, Ohio, Jason “Lemon” Lyman is one of the top house DJ’s in the midwest with over a decade and a half of experience on the decks.  This mix includes fantastic tracks by Josh Wink, Jimpster, Derrick Carter, Inland Knights, Jacob London, and concludes with one of my favorite house tracks of 2008, Real Time Hand Motion’s “Who Got It.” When you hear that upright bass kick in, you’ll know who’s got it!

Eddie Merckx 7-11 Corsa – New Photos!

I originally featured this bike back in January when I first acquired it, but since then I have done a number of upgrades to improve the fit and handling.  I switched the Selle Italia Flite saddle for an upgraded Gel Flow version with titanium rails, swapped the bar/stem combo for an original Eddie Merckx pantographed Cinelli stem and a set of Ritchie Pro Biomax bars wrapped in Cinelli cork tape, added a set of Origin-8 white pedals with white Soma Oppy-X four-gate toe clips and a set of red nylon double straps from King Kog.  Finally, a pair of new red water bottles to keep me hydrated on long rides.

This morning, after being first rained on, then snowed on during my commute into work, the sun broke through the clouds and I took these fantastic pics of the bike.  Enjoy!

Steinski – Nothing To Fear mix

Here’s another classic DJ mix that I consider essential listening –  Steinski’s epic “Nothing To Fear” mix, originally created for the Ninja Tune Solid Steel radio show, hosted by Coldcut and DJ Food.

In the words of Dave Marsh:

“[At] over 59 minutes, it hits you with Ed Sullivan, Dion and the Belmonts, James Brown, fuzz guitar licks, Rocky and Bullwinkle, the Marx Brothers, synth riffs so elusive you can barely remember them, and anonymous singer you know you’ll never forget. Beneath all of it the beat, the beat, the beat, stuttering, stomping, chattering, clattering, scratched and battered back and forth among turntables and samplers and who knows what other technological wonders. Gene Krupa beats. Clyde Stubblefield beats. Afrika Bambaataa beats.

Steinski didn’t make “nothing to fear” to make money; he made it because he’s impelled, every once in a while, to concoct a soundscape that tells you who he is and how he sees the world, and what that has to do with how we dance our dances.”

Snoop Dogg – Millionaire & Pimp C – Knockin Doorz Down (Hyrule Field)

Two tracks that are impressing the hell out of me right now:

Snoop Dogg – “Millionaire (feat. Tanvi Shah)”

This one proves Snoop still has his ear to the underground, dropping a Crunkstep / Grime track complete with a speaker-crushing bassline that sounds like a bear growling through an epic distortion storm. Props to Snoop for going out a limb to break this sound, as well as including Tanvi Shah’s gorgeous vocals floating across the top.

Pimp C, Li’l Keke, & P.O.P. – “Knockin’ Doorz Down (Hyrule Field)”

This is the stand-out track from Team Teamwork’s much-blogged-about “The Ocarina of Rhyme” mashup. This remix mashes a clanging, marching beat to the uplifting chords of the Hyrule theme, with a classic set of lyrics from the dirty South’s best MC’s to create a triumphant track that transcends both the original and Nintendo novelty for an instant classic.
