I'm not including a tracklisting cause mixes are better when you don't know what song's coming next. If you'd like an ID of any of the songs on here, just ask and I'll answer.

Music Haunted by the Ghosts of Records Past: Vol. I

A 30-minute mixtape celebrating the works of RAKIM. This was put together for The Huey Show's 'Hip Hop Mixtape' Volume Two. The series was broadcast over the period of the Hip Hop 50 Summer celebrations, with each episode focusing on one element of the culture. Episode 2 concentrated on The MC, and I was asked to put together a mix of Huey's favourite MC; the god Rakim.

Precisely 30 minutes of classics, features, breaks and samples from the g.o.a.t.

Originally broadcast on BBC 6 Music, Weds 26th July 2023.

DDS SOLID STEEL PART 2

Found this recording from a show me and Tahaj put on back in the early 2000's.....The highlight of the night was having *DJ Ta-shi* (Zulu Nation/Beat Knuckles) and *DJ Shortkut* (Invisibl Scratch Piklz/Beat Junkies/Triple Threat) comin through and rockin' it live on 4 turntables....I ran out of recording discs at the end which explains the abrupt cut off.....

As you can tell from the energy they're puttin down, they were f*cking rocking the place!!!.....people were going bonkers!!!  It was amazing to see their DJ communication and veteran skills in person....still inspires me to this day.....Enjoy...

Turntablist Extraordinaire @dj-yoda-uk graced the Rabbit Hole's 'FUNKINGHAM PALACE' - performing a bespoke 'GET DOWN  DJ SET' filled with Funk / Hip-Hop and lots of samples!

"Here's a live recording of my set at Glastonbury 2017, keeping it pretty tightly themed to The Get Down - i.e. early 1980s NYC block party music! This was great fun - loved sticking to the theme, and by 20 minutes in it felt more like we were in the Bronx in 1984 by than a tent in a field in Somerset! Excuse some of the dodgy mixing moments, this was all live! Enjoy, and wear full adidas tracksuit to appreciate entirely  :) "
