DJ Spinbad: Live In Japan 2011
Recommended Listening / DJ Mixtape
Spinbad has always been one of the guys that can be the DJ’s DJ or walk the line of guilty pleasures done well. This mix is from his latest trek over to Japan where he got to play some pretty standard party rockers to what I would imagine to be a very receptive audience.

Mix of Hip Hop classics from Classic Material & Chris Read.
Chris Read Presents Classic Material Edition #6: 1992
Edition #6 of our monthly Classic Material series pays tribute to the hip hop of 1992, a year most notable for shifts in production techniques and styles and perhaps more importantly sampling trends. Abandoning over-saturated funk standards in favour of obscure jazz samples, producers such Showbiz, Diamond D, Q Tip and many others besides laid the foundations for the laid back jazz led sound that characterised countless East Coast classics of the early to mid 90s. On the West Coast, Dr Dre’s seminal Chronic LP also broke new ground in terms of production style with a polished classicly LA sound that formed the blueprint for the ‘G Funk’ sound which ruled supreme throughout the early 90s.
This mix is also available from our online store on a limited edition CD containing previously unreleased bonus tracks not available on the download.

DJ Pump - Jay Dee Tribute
Recommended Listening / DJ Mix
My dude Pump really brought it home with this tribute for Dilla. Lots of great quick mixes + soundbites + solid selection. Thanks so much for this one Pump.
It is amazing how young Dilla was and how much he had already accomplished.
My friend once told me a story about her cultural beliefs that people pass on because they have already accomplished what they were put on Earth for. Looking to the past and seeing how many young great artists have left us it almost makes sense.
This section was taken from a longer mix a few months after his passing. You must learn.

Dj 7L - Sounds Of Science
Recommended Listening / DJ Mixtape
Here is the promised second 7L mixtape today and this one is more of a banger in the Hip Hop sense. All the music is Hip Hop from 86-91 and according to 7 it isn’t about the deeper cuts, but just about quality sh*t on this one. I couldn’t agree more with my man. Sometimes just because it’s deep doesn’t mean it’s dope (AND PAUSE).
This mix was done for his homie’s blog and you can learn more about 7, the mix, and the music over there.
