Spinbad’s Rock The Casbah – best 80’s mix EVER.

80sfrt

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.

I have finally completed my latest DJ mix, a rockin’ stompin’ dance party blend!  It’s an intense mash-up of hiphop, indie rock, electro, house, and dubstep – 27 tracks in just 60 minutes.  It features music by Cypress Hill, the Beatles, Basement Jaxx, Sinden, Justice, the Prodigy, Pharoah Monche, Diplo, Chromeo, Cassius, Rick Ross, Masta Ace, and so much more.  I have titled it NYC Nights volume two, as it is a worthy successor for my 2004 mix of the same name, which I recorded when I first moved to the city.  That was then, this is now, and I think you’ll like how now sounds.

Dan Martin aka Doormouse has been on the forefront of breakcore, techno, gabber, and many other evil sub-genres of dance music for over ten years. Now he’s dropped a crazy mashup-remix-cutup-fuckup mix of 2 Live Crew, Kanye, Royksopp, Trick Daddy, DJ Funk, Timbaland, Akon, Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, and much much more, all backed with the kind of classic ghetto house beats that will keep your cheddar sharp and funky all night long. You can grab the full-length mix here, or surf over to his website to get it in bite-sized individual track format.

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.

DJ Yoda – Jewbonics

jewbonics

I recently found one of my most favorite “lost mixtapes” online – DJ Yoda’s classic “Jewbonics” tape, recorded in 1998 for Fat Lace Magazine. “Jewbonics” is one of Yoda’s first releases, coming after “Jews Paid” and “Jews Paid Too.” It’s not commercially available anywhere, and was never released on CD. Since then, Yoda’s built a successful career around his unique style of mashing up underground hiphop with obscure 80’s songs, random bits of dialog from 80’s cartoons, and comedy shows. Paired up with Dan Greenpeace, their “Unthugged” series have been in popular among UK hiphop heads.

Yoda …But in my opinion, “Jewbonics” is Yoda’s greatest work. Yeah, maybe it has something to do with the 10 zillion times I listened to the tape back in the day! I rocked it so much that the tape broke and I had to re-spliced it. Yet, even now I gotta say that Yoda’s turntable work on this mix outshines his later mixes. Plus, it features tracks and freestyles from MF Doom, Mr. Lif, O.C., the Aspects, Jurassic 5, and more. It’s funky, weird, and hilarious.

The rip I found online is pretty good, although it has some small glitches here and there. Having been recorded from the original tape, it’s still extremely iPod-worthy. Compared to the non-stop flow of mashup / remix hipster-hop DJ mixes popping up on blogs these days, this mix will hit you like a breeze of true creativity. Listen to this mix and it’ll make your head bob and put a smile on your face. Tracklist after the jump…
