Been listening to this mix daily for the past few months. Best hip-hop mix I've ever heard. Straight fire!

Another gem...Ill Chemist, you are a mystery and an enigma. TMI vols 1-3 are (still) in regular rotation around my place. You are the man...

Sickest rhythms and straight villains. 👌💯

Stones Throw & The Beat Junkies did a joint event that was put together by ArtDontSleep in the city of Los Angeles 3 weeks ago (10.26.13). it is the first time that Stones Throw & the Beat Junkies have joined forces to do a special event. Imagine Peanut Butter Wolf, Dam Funk, Prince Paul, Karriem Riggins, Rakaa Iriscience, LMNO, the Cypress Junkies, Jonwayne, & of course, the Beat Junkies all under one roof. I did this quick mix that featured songs from the Stones Throw Catalogue just to promote the party. Check out this video recap from the party: http://vimeo.com/77929024

If you lived in LA & you went to the party that night, you experienced some history going down. Other than that, hope you enjoy the mix....Salute!

To celebrate the WFMU Record Fair, kicking off in NYC today, we've dug back into the digital archives (courtesy of Noah Uman), for an hours worth of Lord Finesse interview and a live DJ Mix. This all went down back in October 2011, for the last live show for Coffee Break For Heroes & Villains out of their New Jersey HQ. We were in the building with K-Def, Redefinition Records, and DJ O.Gee. 

Slice Of Spice will be running a table for all 3 days of the Record Fair (Fri-Sun), and we'll be joined at our table by DJ Amir (180 Proof) and legendary owner of Fat Beats records, DJ Jab, and both are bringing vinyl. As for us...we'll be giving out some free vinyl, and debuting some exclusives. Head to our listening station to be the first people in the world to listen to the D.I.T.C. Remix Project and Lord Finesse's, SP1200 Project on vinyl!

We've made great friends with many people at the WFMU Record Fair, since we started attending in 2008, and we hope to see many of you there this weekend.

J.PERIOD Presents… The Legacy Of JB

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #10 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1996, a year which marks a turning point for the genre with a divide growing between the emerging crossover sound and the underground ‘independent’ sound blossoming in reaction to it. Whilst many established artists including De La Soul and The Roots critiqued the commercial sound of the day, artists such as Busta Rhymes managed to deliver more chart friendly offerings while retainign underground credibility. Notable album releases include the Fugees’ hit album ‘The Score’, Tribe Called Quest’s Ummah produced 4th album, ‘Beats Rhymes and Life’, Jay Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and Jeru’s ‘Wrath of the Math’ in contrast to it. Debut releases from Kool Keith alias Dr Octagon and newcomers Company Flow set the tone for a new breed of leftfield acts. Artwork references the logo of NY imprint Uptown Records.

“Moving in Between High Brackets”, Yao — carved with cipher clarity:

📝 Lyric Summary: “Moving in Between High Brackets”
This suite is a sonic manifesto of uncontainable worth, delivered in Hip Hop cadence with Jazz phrasing and Soulful breath. It rejects imposed metrics — financial, linguistic, colonial — and reclaims movement as resistance.
The speaker moves through brackets not built for them — economic, social, symbolic — refusing to be priced, mapped, or decoded.
Verse 1 bends syntax and flow, declaring a rise that’s nonlinear, unclean, and coded in what’s unseen.
The hook flips the schematic: rhythm breaks static, cipher cracks habits, truth refuses to fit.
Verse 2 exposes exclusion — wealth in borrowed skin, truth locked out — but the speaker reclaims space with legacy bars and unmapped ascent.
Verse 3 confronts colonial ladders and imposed dialects, asserting a proud, loud, off-grid rhythm.
The final hook and outro seal the suite: movement becomes jazz, truth bites, and the bracket becomes dream — not confinement, but blueprint.

Moving in Between High Brackets  #Hip Hop Jazz Soulful

Warmfuzzy - For Valentine's Day

I am constantly thinking of different themes to build a mix around. With the completion of each mix I typically fall into a 2-3 week funk where I try to think of a new theme for my next mix. Following the Folger's Blends mix I was struggling to think of a new theme. Then, one day while doing a random google search I stumbled onto the above logo. At first glance, I thought the logo was straight dope. However, the logo became even cooler when I learned that it was the creation of my favorite t-shirt designer, Derek from Manifest Worldwide. Given that the saying behind the logo comes from a ATCQ song, I was originally intending to do a Tribe mix. However, since Tribe mixes are a dime a dozen I went in the direction of creating a mix that attempts to capture the jazzy vibe that groups like Tribe and Digable Planets spawned. As the title suggests, all songs on this mix incorporate jazz based samples. The track selection includes music from jazzy groups and producers such as A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Diamond D, Black Moon, De La Soul, Madlib, No ID, Gang Starr, Showbiz & AG, Big L, The Roots, and Nas (I think that's all of them?). Half the fun of making this mix was doing the research to ensure that all songs maintained a jazz break. Some were no brainers, but other songs with jazz breaks were quite surprising. Jazz based samples have always given a special vibe to hip hop music so I hope this mix captures that magic. Thanks again to Derek at Manifest for inspiring the mix's theme.
